Reeza Hendricks: Quite pleased. It was tough in the beginning to find my feet, but happy with the contribution and that partnership with Rassie. Everything happened quickly, got to know it (his inclusion) just 5 minutes before the toss. Needed that partnership (with Rassie) after losing de Kock early. It was an incredible innings. Was much needed for us as we were under pressure when we lost Markram and Miller in quick succession. We back our bowlers to defend it, need to field well.
