Just Relieved To Be Honest - Jofra Archer

Southern Brave fast bowler Jofra Archer secured victory with a 'Super-Five' during the knockout match. The all-rounder was named 'Player of the Match' for his impactful performance.

"Just relieved, to be honest. I thought I gave it away in the second last over against Livi. You just gotta commit to it (plans). Some days it happens for you, some days it doesn't. We got 11 match-winners, and the guys not in the 11 are match-winners themselves. Lots of physio and maybe some meds (recovery before final)," Archer said during the post-match presentation.
