Indian captain Priyam Garg praised the Indian bowlers and said, "Very happy with the performance. The spinners were good, but the lines and lengths could have been better from the pacers. There's no pressure as such. We want to do well, we take every game as it comes".
As for Japan's performance, their captain Marcus Thurgate knew India will be a tough opponent to face.
"I knew it was going to be a really tough game. We didn't do our best, especially with the batting. We could have done better. We'll take a lot of positives from this game. We need to learn from our mistakes and keep getting better".
