Player of the Match
Rachin Ravindra | New Zealand
It’s always great to contribute to the team, an emphatic victory at the semi-final stage and it’s very pleasing.
I didn’t start as well as I wanted, Marco (Jansen) and Lungi (Ngidi) bowled well, once I got going, partnerships with Young and Kane, it started working for me, partnerships with those two, going with the ebbs and flows of the game, the two helped me get going.
We were thinking about 300, then Kane started accelerating, then GP, Daryl Mitchell, and the rest kicked on to take us past 350.
It’s important to think about what next, but it’s all about celebrating the win today, Kane with another classy hundred. Once we go to Dubai, we’ll switch back and think about the final.
