Player of the Match
Matt Henry | New Zealand
As a group we have been playing some really good cricket. To get over the line against a very good South African team, proud of the guys.
We had to drag our lengths back and credit to our team for sticking in there when the openers were going. We knew it would be tougher later if we get wickets. I knew it was one of the last two and it’s great to get the last one and when it goes your way it’s brilliant.
It’s great to come here and we have got a big year coming up, with the World Cup and a big home summer as well. This is all the prep for that.
The way guys are being brave with their skill-set – that is what we have been asking of people, and hopefully we can build on that.
