Glenn Maxwell, Player Of The Match
I was just trying to give ourselves a good platform at the end. You can certainly cash in on this ground with bat and it seams under lights. Nice to get some rhythm finally in the tournament.
Huge confidence booster. Some doubts do creep in when you are consistently not making runs. Hopefully I can ride forward from this. Pretty much the perfect game with bat and ball for us. Three wins now and certainly starting to get that momentum as a team.
Pat Cummins, Australia captain
Really happy, complete game. To put 400 on board and then defend well, couldn’t be happier. Crazy innings. I think we both contributed equally in that hundred partnership .
Fantastic innings, the cleanest hitting I’ve seen. We played the style we liked to. Pleased with Smithy getting runs. We were aiming for powerplay wickets, bowled quite well without a lot of luck.
Zamps with another four-fer. New Zealand are a really good side.. Big game in Dharamsala. It’s the World Cup and we are in a good space, can’t wait to get there. I don’t think we have totally nailed the 50 overs with the bat yet.
