Quotes
Akshar Patel (Man of the Match): The captain is backing me in the pressure situation. I was trying to perform well in the pressure situation. I told the captain that I was ready to bowl in all situations.
George Bailey: It was tight tonight. Akshar batted really well. Manan played very well. We wanted the left right combination going. Some really good selections at the auctions, the owners and the support staff had done it very well. The guys are coming out and under pressure they are performing. I am not sure, I think they got a better start, and we did not bowl well at the start. Slower balls and spin was not easy to hit on this track. It is a good sign to be in the play offs.
Kevin Pietersen: It has been incredibly tough one to swallow. Our strength was last 5-7 overs in batting which we didn't get it right. I don't know his name (Manan Vohra) he had hit Shami who bowled outside off for a Six at extra cover which changed the game. The guys held it back really well but we were 20-30 runs short. I thought we fought back really well but haven't got enough runs. We will keep doing the right stuff. Hopefully we can finish well.
