Mitchell Marsh | Player of the Match: The weather played its part. Thanks to the all the crowd that stuck around. Always nice to win at home. Obviously seamed around a little bit. Proud of the way the young guys came out and took the game on. Made my job easier.

Shubman Gill: Never easy when you lose three wickets in the powerplay, you are always trying to play a catch-up game. Lot of learnings from this game and a lot of positives. Defending 131, we took the game pretty deep and very satisfied with that. We are very fortunate that the fans turn up in large numbers wherever we play.
