All done for this game then. We will be back with more soon. Till then sleep tight and cuddle well. See you soon. Bye.
Trent Boult | Player of the Match: He's always got advice for me. So full credit to Danny Morrison (smiles). I'm trying to swing the ball and try to pitch the ball up, most of the time I'm going full tilt. When you see a bowler in good rhythm, it is down to two things: technique and timing. If any kid is struggling then it all comes down to the run-up. It is important to take it nice and slow, and build up pace going through the crease, this is the advice I got as a kid and it has worked well. We have got experienced campaigners in our team, Nicky P is a great captain. Dwayne Bravo is someone who is great at bouncing ideas off. You are not going to jinx me, aren't you. I have been very lucky with injuries but there is no substitute for hard work. The work in the gym helps. Fortunate for the opportunities I have had. [on Hosein] He steals my first over, swings the ball well even though he is a spinner. We have the team to go a long way in this tournament.
Nicholas Pooran | MI Emirates captain: Tonight we really wanted to win this game. After the first game when we were heavily defeated, the guys accepted the challenge. [on Boult] I haven't played Test cricket but if that's the feeling then amazing. We are happy to have him in our team. He is bowling 110-120 (laughs). He says he is bowling a little faster. He is using his experience well. [on Akeal Hosein] Last game as well he bowled well, the entire bowling group accept they have a job to do in the powerplay. Things are falling into place, hopefully the guys are humble and keep their feet on the ground, come out the next game and have the same, consistent mindset.
Sunil Narine | ADKR captain: When you lose 4 wickets in the powerplay you are on the back foot. The key to this game was to soak up the pressure and accumulate. You get it out of the way tonight and forget it as soon as possible because we have a game in 2 days' time. They are senior guys, they will know where they went wrong.
