ILT20 Points Table
James Vince Caption (Man of the match) the player of the match as well: Yeah, it’s nice. Pleasing to contribute to wins. Three wins in a row is a great start for us. We had good chats yesterday at training. Some of us had experience of the conditions before. We are probably though earlier that 140-150 was par, but Hettie and Dawson going off at the death helped us get to 180. It’s a difficult role, particularly on a wicket like that. Lucky to have him. He has the firepower, he has the quality, and he does the job consistently. [On the bowlers] It’s hard to single one out. As a bowling group we were exceptional. I thought we had plans and we practiced, and we executed very well. We planned on going back of a length and did that well. One thing talking about it but to go out and do it, absolutely superb. Three from three is a great start but there are other teams out there and there will be tough challenges as we go on.
Rovman Powell Capiton I still think it was the right decision [bowling first]. We just didn’t bat well as a Team, and they also got 20-25 runs too much. We pulled it in just a bit, the unfortunate bit is we are playing good cricket but only in patches. I think bowlers like CJ will be very, very handy. He has a lot of Pace, and he slides the ball instead of bouncing the ball. These are the types of wickets where batters need to spend some time. I still think we are playing good cricket. One bad game does not make you a bad team. The two previous games represent this Franchise.
