I'll shortly post the lineup.

Good win for us. Ashwin dominated the game, but Andre Russell needs to step up this game like he does in real life.

Terrific win. I thought we could lose, my first impression after looking at our score. But bowlers have finally saved the day. They really bowled fantastic. Proud of 'em.

And, it's good to see runs coming from Iyer's bat.
