Hopefully our boys will stick to the basics.
Sticking to the basics always helps (or it did for me, since I wasn't all that blessed with talent as a cricketer lol):

Batting
- defend the good ball
- put away/score on the bad balls
- put a high price on your wicket
- be patient - you have 5 days to win

Bowling
- be consistent
- minimise the bad balls
- make the batsman work for their runs
- make them play as much as possible
- if you get hammered, don't lose heart - concentrate on putting the ball in the right area
