Player of the Match
Keshav Maharaj | Australia
I made my debut in 2016 in Australia. Tried to utilise the conditions, wicket was sticky and tried to utilise and got the reward. The boys spoke about it in the T20s, there was a little bit of turn and my life got a bit easier as Prenelan got the first wicket and he bowled well on debut.
We have always been slow starters in series, it’s nice to put the front foot forward. Good batting display and quite clinical with the ball.
