Player of the match
Tim David | MI New York
I definitely enjoyed the second innings. The boys put up a fantastic bowling performance and the win helps us improve our NRR. My job is to finish the innings off. It is nice to get a few balls in the middle. We felt we left a few runs out there but it was a fantastic bowling performance, so we will take the two points.
