' challenge ahe is pretty clear': Andrew McDonald

" challenge ahe is pretty clear and that is to win three in a row and see where that net run-rate gets us. I still think that potential seven wins can get you through. For us, it is about continuing to prepare and continuing to believe that we are good eugh," McDonald said during post-match press conference.

"We have shown throughout tournament that we can play cricket that can compete with best and also, win against m. I think teams that have thing to lose can be quite dangerous at backend of tournament. So, we will be looking to be one of those teams," he ded.

At same time, Rajasthan coach also heaped praise on Hyderab's batsmen Manish Pandey and Vijay Shankar for anchoring run-chase successfully despite having lost two big wickets of skipper David Warner and Jonny Bairstow early on.

"You have to give credit to two batters, y played extremely well. I think we h eugh pressure on m with those two early wickets. It was an extremely good partnership, so full credit to two batsmen at crease," McDonald said.

"If you look at comparison between two teams, it is that those two batsmen got fifty, we did t have anyone going past fifty. If you narrow it down to what went wrong in batting innings, we did t have that solid contribution of a fifty-run score," he ded.
