Player of the Match
Matt Renshaw | Australia
I just wanted to rebuild after we lost quick wickets. I was not under pressure and wanted to build a partnership. The pitch was hard and it got better as the game progressed and I wanted to use that to my advantage. Always good to score a ton in ODIs. We are looking forward to the ODI World Cup next year here.
