Hobart: Virat Kohli, who smashed an unbeaten 133 to guide India to a morale-boosting victory over Sri Lanka in a crunch tri-series match here on Tuesday, said that his side was confident of winning the tie in 40 overs and they took it as playing two Twenty20 games.
India needed to overhaul the target of 321 in 40 overs to get a bonus point and stay afloat in the tournament, a target they eventually achieved in only 36.4 overs with seven wickets remaining.
"We looked to get one boundary in an over, keep playing an over at a time, and if you need 100 runs from the last 10 overs, it was very gettable. So we took it as two Twenty20 games," said Kohli whose 86-ball knock ensured that India beat Sri Lanka by seven wickets and also earn a bonus point.
