Aaron Jones (Player of the Match): "I don't think it's easy to put into words. We know Canada come hard at us and it's a great rivalry.
I think anything under 200 is chasable. The pitch is good and the outfield is fast. We just have to play good cricket and glad that it came off.
To be honest, I think I drove the process. I just backed myself and what I have practised and it worked out. I like to come in when my team is under a bit of pressure. It brings the best out of me. I'm happy that I could take the side home."

Saad Bin Zafar (Canada Captain): "I think 194 was a great total. I was confident at that time. Movva had a great cameo at the end. We picked up two wickets as well in the powerplay but we had no answers to Gous and Jones the way they batted.
The wicket had a good bounce. The ball was coming onto the bat nicely. That's why we got 190+. But the wicket got better under lights and it helped them.
I think we missed a bit of line and length. The spinners, especially, we bowled four no balls. It's a big no no in the T20 game. We shouldn't have given them those extras. Also, the catch. If it wasn't a no ball, it would have been OUT.
I think we played exceptionally well overall. Nothing to be sad about. It's just the first game. We will put this behind and look to bounce back in the next game."
