The match was one of those low-scoring thrillers that make spectators hold their seats till the very last ball.

Post Match statements:
Hardik Pandya:
“I feel sorry for him. If you bowl like that and batter’s disappointed. I think it was Mohammed Shami who got the ball talking. We are disappointed and I couldn’t take the team home. We have to move on and rectify our mistakes. We are still top of the table and we have to keep playing well.”
Hardik Pandya on Shami:
David Warner:
Our bowlers were amazing. Batters struggled but Shami bowled excellently. We keep finding ways to lose wickets. I don’t know what’s happening with our batting, but happy with 2 points.” “I told them to swing the ball and take early wickets. Khaleel and Ishant did extremely well, Ishant for holding the nerves at the end. Tewatia hits the ball at the end, but Ishant was able to execute his plans.”
