Player of the Match
Ottneil Baartman | Seattle Orcas
Obviously, the powerplay is always up front. We have to contain, but at the same time, we have to take wickets as well. At the halfway stage, we’d obviously try and keep the run rate down a bit. Picking up wickets is the best way of slowing it down, and I think we did that well.
Obviously, with the slower balls, it was a bit easier. The surface was assisting the seamers as well. There wasn’t a lot of spin, but there was a low, slow bounce, and I tried to exploit it. You try to keep it on the stumps as much as possible, and that makes it difficult for the batters.
