Powell swipes his bat in the air, celebrates, and then hugs Green. Plenty of smiles in the JT camp. This has been some innings from the JT captain. He struggled against spin, managing only 8 off 24 balls from Tahir, Shamsi, and Motie. He, however, clattered 36 off 14 balls from Shepherd and Smith, timing it well in the slog overs. Green also did his bit, following up thrifty figures of 4-1-5-0 with a vital 7-ball 17*. Hope you enjoyed the coverage as much as we did bringing it to you. Until next time, this is Deivarayan Muthu signing off on the behalf of Ekanth and Chandan Duorah. Cheers

Amir, Player of the Match: I think we took advantage of the toss and it was very crucial. As a new-ball bowler, I was getting something from the wicket. Later on, the wicket got batter and we knew they had proper spinners, but credit goes to Rovman. He took the game away from them for us.

Powell: It [the shin] is a bit bruised, but we have a good physio and hopefully they get rid of the swelling. It was difficult in the middle overs and they have two world-class international spinners and Motie also. We wanted to take it deep. It is a short competition and momentum is important.

Hetmyer: I would say so [toss a factor?], but at the end of the day we are professionals. The guys did well and as it is, Rovman got the better of us. Lot of learnings for us.
