Sanju Samson: “I think we are playing in this ground, I think 10, 12, 13 per over is chaseable. It was just about momentum and hitting a few more sixes. Normally Hettie does it but today Jurel was hitting it well. It was just about one shot here and there. It depends on who is bowling and what the situation is and whether we are chasing and setting a target. I think Ashwin with his experience and what he has done in the last couple of games has delivered. That’s what the planning was. I think with the IPL games, the winning, and losing are done with very small margins so we have to keep checking our routines.”
Glenn Maxwell has been named player of the match.
