Mitchell Starc, Participant of the Match: We all know how necessary the powerplay is. These had been the 2 sides who’ve dominated within the powerplay. We would have liked to choose early wickets. The best way Head and Abhishek have been taking part in, they like width and free their arms. The spinners had been efficient and the entire bowling division was bang on. Obtained fortunate I suppose (Head) was good to see his again early, not all the time the case. It is good to see how they onerous they practice. Harshit has been phenomenal.
