Player of the match
Sean Abbott | Australia
I think the pitch suited the bowlers for most of the night, but lot of credit for the batters tonight. The boys showed some good strength, 100 run partnership on that wicket was great. This is a great change room to be part of, really enjoying my cricket at the moment. I think Mitch’s great strengh is taking the pressure off you, he provides a great environment. There’s a great vibe amongst the group.
