Ben Stokes, Player of the Match(Eng vs Ned)
More pleased with the victory , it has been a tough World Cup for us. It was a nice wicket to bat on, had some tennis-ball bounce. We built a good partnership, whenever there was pressure building I had a look at the scoreboard and reminded myself there was a lot of time remaining. Tried to take it deep and cash in later. He is a genuine all-rounder for us, he has been a great cricketer for England over the last 2-3 years and today he proved it.
