Quotes

Steve Smith (Man of the match): Yeah its is nice to get few runs under the belt, we paced our run chase beautifully. Credit to the bowlers they did an outstanding job in restricting them to under 310. At one point we thought we might be in with a big run chase but effort was commendable from the bowlers, they have a clear plan to bowl in the death overs and is working well for us. I just want to keep going as game can change at any point want to utilize my form to the fullest. Haddin played well which took lot off pressure from me. Didn't talk much Starc when he can out to bat. It will be a big day and I am eagerly waiting to play a game at my home ground on Monday. 
 
Eoin Morgan: It wasn't a bad day in general, we played well in patches. Bell showed his class, it was a superb knock. We lost few too many wickets in the later stages of the game, there are few areas where we would like to improve to get the results in our favor. Today was their day, especially last 10 overs went their way, we too got the ball to reverse but we didn't utilized it properly. 340-350 would have been a match winning score but credit to Australia for bouncing back from such position. Ideally we would like to win few matches before the world cup but getting in to the final in this series is our priority.
