Mitchell Marsh in a post-match presentation said:
“Lot of people say this but I really don’t have words right now. An amazing six weeks with this group. The coaching staff came up to me in the West Indies and said you’ll bat three for this tournament/series. Absolutely jumped at the idea of that. Done a little bit of that for the Scorchers,”
“I must thank everyone in the support staff for backing me. Not a whole lot of thinking that goes into that (first ball for six). Just wanted to go out there and have a presence. Big Marcus Stoinis always talks about having a presence,” he added.
Chasing 173, Australia got off to a poor start as their skipper Aaron Finch (5) was sent back. To the pavilion by Trent Boult in the third over of the session.
