Winning isn't an end, it's a process.
If your bowlers have a plan for every batsman, and bowl to that plan, and
If you batsmen take the singles when there there, hit the bad balls and defend the good balls, and
If your fielders show concentration and hold their catches, and
If the non-strikers hustle and the backing-up fieldsmen back up the throws, and
If the team can keep their head when all about them are losing theirs, then you'll win more often than not.
But you can't think about 'winning'. You can think about doing a hook shot right, or about how to call for a ball you are going to catch, or about how to run, and pick up, and throw the stumps down in one fluid motion.
Do all these things, and you'll put yourself in a position to say "We won".
But dont think about winning.
It's a process, not an outcome.
