Player of the Match
Glenn Maxwell | Australia
It was nerve-wracking when we lost a couple of wickets in a row. Corbin Bosch bowled a brilliant over. To keep the run-rate near 9 or 10, we were down to two wickets, I had to keep the majority of the strike. Nice to get a couple out of the middle right at the end.
I just stay calm, watch the ball, try and not preempt too much, understand the areas where I can get the boundaries and where I can get the twos. Just tried to stay on strike as much as possible.
We’ve had a great run with this T20 group. To have another series win against a quality opposition in South African is great for our confidence heading forward.
There’s still about 13-14 internationals before the T20 World Cup and we are building something really nice in this group. It’s certainly a very fun change room to be in and I am enjoying every moment.
