We'll have to play good cricket, just taking one match at a time Death bowling has been a little concern, but at the same time, the bowlers are getting better with every match. We're looking at gaining some momentum. We're playing almost the same team - David Warner is sitting out, Sumit Kumar is back," the captin of DC Rishabh Pant added
