Player of the Match
Corey Anderson | San Francisco Unicorns
I am going to be better. I live here and I still can’t get used to the heat. It was tough but glad with the win. It played a little bit slow and we weren’t looking at 200. The partnership we put on was great. Shadab got me going at times as well. It was great to put that on the board. Today I actually wanted to bowl, but Finchy told me I was only going get half the match fee (chuckles).
