Bangalore skipper Daniel Vettori feels the 113-run opening partnership between Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal set the foundation for their victory over Mumbai Indians.

"We have played very well. Once again Chris Gayle and Mayank Agarwal gave us a good start in the beginning and it was so much easier for us," Vettori said after his team restricted Mumbai Indians to 142/8 after posting 185/4.

"Once you put that kind of performance it was going to be tough for Mumbai Indians, particularly when we have got some economical bowlers," he added.

Vettori felt it was a good toss to lose as they too wanted to bat first on this pitch.

"Looking at the statistics of teams winning batting first at Chennai, we wanted to bat first," he said.

Gayle has done bulk of the scoring for Bangalore and Vettori was confident that even the other batsmen such as AB de Villiers have enough skills to help them lift the trophy on Saturday.

"Chris had fired most of the times when we picked him to play. AB has had a good tournament too and many guys in our team could do it. But obviously we have Chris Gayle as well," he said.

Vettori said he doesn't want to analyze the final too much and hoped his batsmen would come good against Chennai on Saturday as well."In 20-20 cricket it works on some days and players perform some days.

We will not be analyzing too much in to these things. I hope the batters turn up on Saturday and come up with good performances," he said.Vettori also heaped praise on spinner Syed Mohammad, who dismissed Sachin Tendulkar at a crucial juncture.

"He did a great job. He had Tendulkar's wicket with intelligent bowling. He is a very confident guy," he said. Vettori said the wicket will be slow on Saturday and they would look to play the same team against Chennai Super Kings.

"The other strip is going to be slower on Saturday. Obviously, Chennai has won a lot of games at home. I will be playing the same team on Saturday," he said.
