It was one of those tosses where we were split, whether to bowl or bat. I just thought that credit to Netherlands for their powerplay bowling to put us under the pump. Raza and Williams did really well to get us back into the game but unfortunately we couldn’t finish it off. With the ball, we didn’t find enough movement with the ball. Credit to Netherlands for the win.
Winning Skipper, Scott Edwards said:
Awesome. We came here to win some games at the Super 12. Good to get the ball rolling after a rocking start. Bowlers were sensational, the top four got us pretty close to the total too. Max has been sensational for the past 4-5 years. He rocks up at big occasions.
Player of the Match, Max O’Dowd said:
Pretty scrappy to start, I was trying to adapt to the conditions as quickly as possible. Took a while to adapt against those tall Zimbabwe bowlers. There was more movement in the wicket when we were bowling. I could trust the bounce, we were pretty lucky.
