Quotes

Lendl Simmons (Man of the Match): I was given an opportunity to play in this tournament by Mumbai. I was very excited, it is a very good playing. Before we came here, I was told it will be a good track. I like playing my slog sweep, it was my favourite shot today. 

Rohit Sharma: This is the potential we have got. This team has got the ability to perform like today. Anything can happen still, so we are still positive. We are working on some mathematical possibility, but we have to win our 2 games and be in the hunt. That is the most important aspect. We go back to Bombay, our home and we need to keep our fingers crossed. As I said, this team has got potential. It did not work for us in Dubai. In India, we started playing well. The way we played tonight was very good. 

George Bailey: The guys gets 20-30's but failed to carry on. Splendid innings form Simmons. We were completely outplayed. It was a nice wicket to chase. Saying that Simmons has got 100 of 60. It is important to keep doing the things we were doing right. Mitch is having a niggle and should be fine soon. We were hammered tonight but we took it to last 6 deliveries.
