Player of the Match
Andries Gous | Washington Freedom
Yeah, I feel the wicket got a little better in the second innings. Also, in the first half of the match, their bowlers got a few early wickets to bring it back to a 180-ish chase, which was fast paced. But we just said to ourselves, Play with the same sort of intent. Bat out the next four or five overs.
