Player of Match: JJ Smuts

Welcome back for the chase
Pooran: Really grateful for the opportunity. Smuts made my job easier. No scores are comfortable in T20s, but we spoke about partnerships. Hopefully 225 is enough on this pitch. Guys put their hands up and batted well. Definitely a good batting pitch. Still feel that if spinners bowl into the pitch (will be effective). Pace off is also an option (for seamers).
