Dhoni praises bowlers, fielders

Perth, Feb 28 (IBNS) Indian skipper MS Dhoni appreciated Indian bowlers and fielders for their performance in the World Cup so far after his side won the group stage match against the UAE on Saturday

In a post match ceremony, he said: "The bowlers have really stepped up, and in a team sport it starts to reflect in other departments too. "

"We dropped one catch today but the fielding has been brilliant. When we are losing quite a few games outside the subcontinent, it was an area of concern that we were not getting wickets in the middle overs. Now we are getting wickets with the new ball and the spinners are able to put more pressure on the batsmen in the middle overs. We have to continue with the good effort," he said.

India defeated the UAE by nine wickets in the match.
