Marcus Stoinis: The boys did really well. I can't complain.
Donovan Ferreira | Player of the Match: That was good.
Glenn Maxwell: (On not bowling spin) If we would have been able to change our team, we would have had one in there. First three overs went as per plan, and it felt like the right decision to bowl those guys. They had the score on the board and it was always going to be a tough ask, and we need a lot of things going our way. Unfortunately, we never really had any momentum going into the game and they had two quality spinners for those conditions.

4.6
Noor Ahmad to Phillips, 1 run, Phillips clears his front leg
4.5
Noor Ahmad to Phillips, no run, 55mph, slower through the air and Phillips miscues the loft towards long-off. He was probably looking to go over extra cover. Mitchell runs in and to his left from long-off, dives forward to catch it with both hands. The ball was dying on him and he did well to get his fingers under it. Mitchell isn't sure if he's caught it cleanly. The TV umpire takes a couple of looks and rules in favour of the batting side. I couldn't see any part of the ball touching the ground. Even Phillips is surprised as he returns to face the final ball

Noor Ahmad to Pienaar, 1 run, 57mph, appeal for lbw, turned down. Full on leg, Pienaar gets low to sweep and the ball rolls to short fine leg off his pad. TSK review. Seems to be pitching outside leg. Firstly, is there an under-edge? There's a murmur on UltraEdge confirming a tickle. So the onfield call stays and TSK burn a review
Obus Pienaar, right handed bat, comes to the crease
