Player of the Match
Roston Chase | West Indies
It was coming off good tonight. I was getting a bit of spin and a bit of bounce, so I just tried to use that to my advantage. We learned from what the New Zealand bowlers did; it was very difficult.
They hit the wicket hard and took pace off as well, so we just tried to emulate that, and it worked out for us.
It gives us a lot of confidence to start the series well with a win, and tonight, something that we really spoke about is also to celebrate Jason Holder’s birthday. We wanted to give him a birthday gift, so the guys really went out there and fought har,d and we won.
