Couple of big match players stood up, and we’re pretty stuffed: Pat Cummins

However, Pat Cummins was also elated with their great win, calling it the best. The 30-year-old cricketer opened up about the tactics and approach they used after sending hosts to bat first. Moreover, the cricketer also opened up about how much pitch helps them during the first innings and how chasing makes their work easy.

“I think we saved our best for last. Couple of big match players stood up, and we’re pretty stuffed. We’ve been batting first pretty much for the whole tournament, today we thought, it’s a good night to chase down, we thought it might actually get a little bit easier. Everyone was pretty keen to get out there. The bowling was a bit slower than I thought, didn’t particularly spin, probably as much as we thought it would either,” said Pat Cummins at the post-match presentation.
