Player of the match
Jason Holder | India
The amount of cricket I’ve been playing for the last three years, it’s lot. I try to find some passages of break, get some time off, refresh and come back again. I think it (break from the ODIs) was needed. I was happy that I stuck with my plans.
I wanted to make them work hard for their runs, didn’t want to give any free runs. It (16th over) was the turning point based on the fact that the game was coming down very close. They had set batters and we had to stay in the game.
aThe guys really stuck together, it was a total team effort. The conditions played in the favour of the bowlers. We got early wickets, which is really important.
