Player of the Match
Craig Ervine | Zimbabwe
Feel pretty ecstatic, we knew it was a decent wicket to bat on so it was about giving ourselves a chance. It’s been really good, leading up to this and scoring some runs, hopefully, I can continue like this.
As a team, we always like to dominate batting second. You look all around the wicket, from the 10 over mark to the 40 over mark, there are 5 fielders in the ring so there are always boundary options. I thought we were staring down the barrel of 340 but I thought our bowlers did really well to pull things back. I thought 290 was below par.
