Corbin Bosch was named the Player of the Match. Speaking at the post-match conference, he said, “That was pretty basic today to keep it nice and simple. I think the wicket set itself what we had to do. I think there was some nip early on and we communicated fantastically as bowlers, so I think it made my life easy.”

“Yeah, I think, as I said, I’ve got great guys in front of me that I can learn from, and it just gives me a bit of time to watch what the batters are doing and how our bowlers are bowling, so I can formulate plans through doing that. It’s definitely a bit nervy, especially that first couple, but once you get the first few down, it calmed down nicely.”
