Roston Chase | Player of the Match -
It was a bit nerve wracking, we made it hard for ourselves, could have won outright. I didn't recognise it was a hat-trick ball, so I just wanted to play a few balls, assess the conditions and play my natural game. I just try to base my batting on what my team needs, that puts me in a good stead and there's no real pressure. First keep it tight, build pressure and that gets me wickets, I just don't go searching for wickets (with the ball), put pressure and that brings me the wickets. Our first match was rained out, so this was the first game for us, we kept it late, but it was a good win for us.
