What ? We won ? That's a big surprise. Nicol, Munro supported Raval who played a great innings. Our bowlers were very good to defend the total and Quinn's performance in bowling department was exceptional. I am very happy with this win. Thanks to Raval and Quinn we won against a strong team and we have topped our group stage. Hopefully we will continue with this confidence and win the next match.
