Hi Saksham,
The main thing to remember is that when you play in a match focus on playing well rather than the result.
In a match you will feel a bit more tension. You can also develop some relaxation techniques to use in the match.
Take a look at the Sports Psychology section of our site where you will find some interesting tutorials.
