Player of the Match
Michael Pepper | Abu Dhabi Knight Riders
When the ball was hard, it was coming on nicely. There wasn’t much bounce on that wicket and through the game it got slower and slower. Had to change my game a bit, was hard to hit it squarer and had to focus on hitting it straight.
We have a long batting order, but someone still needs to be the one to step up and hopefully cash in. It is quite different from Abu Dhabi, there is more swing and seam there. More pace and bounce as well. Very pleased with this performance, nice to get that score today in the competition.
