Ryan Rickelton (Player of the Match): [on the innings] "Great wicket out here today. Both teams batted incredibly well. Tough outing for the bowlers but chuffed to get over the line and contribute.
[on Marsh and Brook] I thought Mitch was being a bit selfish, not giving me any in the powerplay but looking back, the way he got us off to a great start really made it easier and then Brook is just a freak. Some of the shots and things he can do is something I wish I could do.
[on hit thought process] I was a little bit nervous. I haven't got a real score in this tournament yet so I was looking to maximize opportunity. Mitch took a lot of pressure off me and allowed me to watch what the wicket's doing and get into it. Once it gets in your area and you realize the wicket is that good, you got to go hard.
[at the chat with bowlers halfway] Just try not to be predictable. The wicket's good, in favor of the batters but play with your fields, execute different deliveries but try not get to o predictable. They've got a very good batting lineup too. If you could just stay one step ahead, accept that the ball is going to be flying but if you can keep fighting and winning each delivery, you will get over the line.
[on the next game] I think 5 wins in an 8-game tournament is the benchmark but you got to win games at home if you can pick up a few away from home, it makes it easier."

Mitchell Marsh (Sunrisers Leeds): "[On his knock] Yeah it is always nice to get off to a good start. I am enjoying the partnership with Rickelton. He is a good man, and the partnership is starting to click now. I was happy for him to get a big score today.
[On Ryan Rickelton cheekily calling him 'greedy' for strike] I keep saying you can have the first ball mate. I'll take the first 10 if you don't want it.
[On the win today] Yeah, it is good. I feel every game is like a must win. The competition is so close. Everyone seems to be beating everyone. It was an important game for both teams. We have been playing really well at home.
[On his love with the Leeds ground] A lot has changed since that day in 2023 (laughs). It is a beautiful wicket. It is one of those grounds where you can cash in. I love it here.
[On building partnerships] Yeah, we have had a key focus on partnerships. An example is today when I got off to a flyer. Ryan did not panic and stayed along. He then eventually scored a lot. We know our style over here. Just maximize the powerplay and then keep going.
[What is a sign of him feeling in control?] I know when I am leaving them in the powerplay. That is when I am really on. I am very routine based on game day. I try to stay relaxed. Which I am not. I start off nervous but get into it as the game goes along."
