Quotes
A Finch (Man of the Match) - "It's been important for us to win today especially after the first few losses. We were positive always and we knew that we needed to post a decent score which we managed. The pitch slows down a bit after the new ball and it's not easy for the new batsmen to get started with the attack. Happy that we executed our plans well."
Shikhar Dhawan - 'It feels good to open our account in the tournament and it's a good boost for us. We played good cricket today and it's nice to see our batting clicking. We had a good start and thereafter it was nice to see Aaron and David bat the way they did to get us to a big score. Our coaching staff is really good and they keep motivating us.'
Kevin Pietersen: Great game of cricket. We are not far off. The guys batted beautifully. All credit to Finch and Warner for the way we batted. I think the guys were lethargic for first 6 overs and then we did well from 7-20 overs. It is fantastic to be back and playing in front of the fans here in Dubai.
