"We spoke about it after the powerplay (the line and length). The ball was holding on to the wicket and therefore we wanted to keep it a little fuller. Whenever we bowled shorter they had the time to sit back and pull it. We had the conversation that we want to bowl fuller," said Harshal Patel after the game.

We can look at different ways as to how we could have gotten those eight runs. At the end of it, we can look at so many ways," said Pollard after the game.
