Glenn Maxwell (Player of the Match): "It all went pretty quickly, actually. I think once the dew obviously affects the ball and makes it difficult to hold onto. We knew that it was going to be hard work to bowl Yorkers, and there probably wasn't a number, I think, at the back end that we sort of set ourselves to.
But we just thought if we could sort of stay in the hunt for at least until the last over and give ourselves a chance, you never know. If we get a couple out of the middle, we might stay in the game. And we did really well just to keep ourselves in the game until the final over.
I think knowing that Axar had one over left was I think it obviously meant that Wadey had to be out there to make sure that to cash in on the left-arm spinner and he played that role really well.
I was trying to take on the pace bowlers and try and I suppose get the run rate under a little bit more control. Struggled a little bit for a couple of overs there, but the way that Wadey controlled the other end sort of got me through the back end of my, and yeah, he was brilliant out there."
