Player of the Match
Daryl Mitchell | New Zealand
You don’t really know how much you need here. We tried to put the bowlers under pressure, also our bowlers bowled really well in the second innings. We know this wicket has nice pace and carry, we just played nice shots and put them under pressure. Love to play for NZ and like to perform in front of such a crowd.
