India won the three-match series 1-0, courtesy their 65-run win in the second T20I on Sunday. <br \/>&#8216;I felt attack is the best defence on this wicket,&#8221; Hardik said during the post-match presentation. &#8220;Would have liked to win the game by playing the full overs, but it is what it is,&#8221; he said. <br \/>&#8220;We know the kind of bowling attacks they have, it was very important to get those 10-15 runs extra even though we lost a couple of wickets,\u201d Pandya added. <br \/>&#8220;A game like this could have given us an opportunity to test some of the players, but having said weather is something we cannot control.
