KKR were sent packing after their third group match, against Perth Scorchers, was called off due to rain. The team desperately needed to win the game to remain in the hunt after losing its opening two matches.

"I think there is always pressure once you win a tournament and you go to the next tournament. We were hoping to win this game and somehow qualify. But the guys are still keen on playing their last game. So hopefully, we can give a good performance," said Narine.

The West Indian off-spinner, who picked up five wickets in his three appearances for the team, said he would have been happy to be an average performer in a winning team rather being outstanding in a losing cause.

"It has been pretty decent for me but not good for the team. So, even though I am performing well, the team is more important. So, it would have been better if the team did well and my performance was iffy; then there would have been a lot more success on this tour," he said.

Talking about his game, the 24-year-old ICC's 'Emerging Player of the Year' said he prefers to work on his strengths instead of looking for weaknesses in the opposition camp. MORE
