It was a good wicket for batting. The big score shows this, but the decisive moment of the match was that we dismissed India’s lower order twice. For this reason, we were able to stop them from making a big score and did not get a huge goal, which would be difficult to achieve. We we 450. Did not let go beyond 500, which he was seen making at one time.

Stokes said, ‘A good start was needed in response to the target of 371 runs to win. In such a situation, it was necessary to play after saving wickets. The way Docket and Jack played, it is commendable. Both played as complement to each other. The bowlers must have found it difficult to combine the combination of right left -handed batsmen.
