Don’t Get Much Better Than That – Matthew Wade

Matthew Wade acknowledged the challenge of facing the Indian team and emphasized the importance of putting up their best performance. Wade mentioned that Maxwell had to be introduced to the bowl last over due to an injury to Kane Richardson.

“You don’t get much better than that. It was always going to take our best and probably the best player of T20 cricket we have,” Wade was quoted as saying in the post-match presentation ceremony.

“I wouldn’t say “confident” was on my mind, but we knew here we can bat in chases. When we had five overs left but unfortunately Kane Richardson hurt himself so we were one short and had to bowl Maxi,” he added.

Hopefully We Can Take It To The Decider – Matthew Wade

The wicketkeeper-batter expressed the team’s need for a win in the next match, hoping that the younger squad members can keep the series alive until the final game. Wade mentioned that it presents an opportunity for the younger players to step up.

“We really needed this win and a lot of guys are heading home so a chance for the younger ones and hopefully we can take it to the decider with another win,” Wade further added.
