Speaking to the media after the game, Tauqir said, “Yes, it is one of the most difficult wickets in the world. I think it got a lot of bounce and carry. I think they outplayed us with their bowling.

When asked about Ashwin’s performance, Tauqir said that the results speak for themselves. “You saw the results yourself. I don’t need to say that. He took four wickets, he bowled extremely well. I think more than his turn, I think it was the bounce that was creating a problem for us. He was getting some very good bounce, you know, and yes, of course he bowled well. He took four wickets, and he won them the game,” he said. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: SCHEDULE & MATCH DETAILS
When compared to their first two matches, this one was a very tough encounter for them. Speaking about the challenge, Tauqir said that the spin bowling made the difference. “No, of course Indian team is more professional. They have a better spin attack than the rest of — than the Irish or Zimbabweans. I think we got outplayed by the spin attack more than the fast bowlers. I think the wicket also helped them in getting us all out,” Tauqir said. ICC Cricket World Cup 2015: Complete Coverage
