Player of the Match
Matt Renshaw | Brisbane Heat
I still don’t really believe it. It’s a bit of a pinch-me moment, lots of goosebumps. An incredible effort. I think a lot of people probably wrote us off, and to be honest, we might have as well after losing a wicket first ball.
But having Wildermuth at the other end was massive. I’ll definitely be sharing this with him; he deserves probably half of it, maybe more. That never-say-die attitude made all the difference. It was one of those strange ones (partnership) where we didn’t talk too much.
It was more about taking the right options, seeing the ball and hitting it where you needed to. He’s done really well leading into this. Opening the batting has been a great opportunity for him, and he’s taken it brilliantly tonight.
It was mainly about trusting yourself. I hit the indoor nets during the break, and honestly, I was hitting them terribly. But we had a bit of luck on our side tonight as well. It was just about keeping things simple.
We knew the wicket was good after what they did with the bat, and that gives you confidence that a chase like this is possible. T20 cricket was always something people said I wasn’t very good at.
So it’s nice to be able to produce something like this. I probably played a couple of bad shots in there, but I managed to middle a few and get the match-ups I wanted. It was pretty nice to bat on. There was a bit of tennis-ball bounce.
That first ball Munro got looked like it exploded. Jhye (Richardson) is obviously a very good bowler, so I was a bit nervous walking out, thought I might get my shoulder ripped off, but it started to skid on nicely.
We know how strong their attack is, but it was just one of those nights. It’s about taking this momentum with us. A few guys haven’t contributed much in the first couple of games, but in this competition, you need your whole squad.
With some players unsure about fitness, everyone’s going to be needed. I think the moustache has to stay now.
