Kumble: “We missed a few chances in the field that cost us the game. Duminy, though, batted brilliantly. Some players are probably not used to the lights and the ball came on a little quicker. The ball came on to the bat and I thought 180 was sufficient. There was the option of bowling Kallis in the last over, but I thought the slower ball would prove more effective. Unfortunately, Vinay [who has a good slower ball] tried a different delivery. It’s a great start to the tournament, unfortunately we ended on the losing side.”

Puttick: “We were confident we could chase any score, but it was a little more than we expected. We were a little shaky playing in this tournament. But JP played superbly. We knew if we got one batsman to bat through the innings and build partnerships, keep their calm, we could chase this down. We didn’t catch very well but it’s down more to nerves. This win should calm us down. We are a laid-back bunch of guys, and I suppose it’s up to me as captain to calm them down. We’re just going to enjoy the experience and do our best.”

Duminy is the Man of the Match: “By far the best I’ve played in this format. It just worked out in the end for us. It’s a different team with a different management, it went well. The wicket was a little spungy, took some time to settle in and played their spinners well.”
