Would Have Been Nice to Stay Till the End – James Vince
In the post-match presentation, James Vince lauded Khushdil Shah for his crucial role in their partnership. He stated that the pitch’s batting-friendly nature allowed him to play his natural game with confidence. Vince mentioned his strategy was to anchor the chase and stay at the crease until the end.
“Quite a tough chase, but when we batted we realised how nice a surface this was. Luckily, whenever we needed a boundary we found it. The way Khushdil batted was also great.”
“When the rate gets beyond 15-16, the game gets away from you at any game. So the way Khushdil attacked CJ when the rate was climbing was amazing. I did the hard work so would have been nice to stay till the end, but we bat quite deep and that helps in chases like this,” said the English batter.
