Raipur, 13th September: Northern Districts beat Southern Express by 7 wickets in the Champions League opening match.
Williamson (Man of the Match): 'Some deliveries gripped and some skid on. It was a little bit two paced and dew had some effect which made batting a lot easier. We are enjoying playing on this ground, this was my first time here.'
Flynn: 'It was an interesting game. The first 10 overs probably didn't go our way, but we did well later. We couldn't practise a lot due to the poor weather. It is fantastic to get off to a winning start and it is a big tournament to be a part of. Thankful to the crowd as well.'
Mubarak: 'It was a game of two halves with the bat. We started well but lost momentum mid-way. They bowled really well in the middle overs and the wicket suited them pretty well. It showed how hard it is to come in and play shots straightaway. We have got a big match tomorrow, probably against the favourites (Mumbai) to qualify. We need to pull up our socks and do well.'
