Dubai: Rohit Sharma could not give himself a good birthday present as his side suffered its fifth straight defeat.

"We spoke about trying to get wickets and in the last five overs a big score was on the cards. We fielded first because we wanted to see what we needed to chase. We've got to win all the games from here on. Let's see what we can do in home conditions. We just have to stay positive, that's all I can say. Not a great birthday for me," he said.
