He said, “One of me or Rasi Van Der Dusen should have made a big score which could not happen.” New Zealand kept us under pressure from the beginning. He regularly kept the off -side boundary in the middle overs. He was difficult to stop due to the wickets in the death overs and we came under pressure. ”Ravindra, who was elected the best player of the match to score a century, is very happy to contribute to the victory of the team.
Ravindra said, “It is a great feeling to contribute to the best victory in the semi -finals. I could not start as well as I wanted. South Africa bowled well but once we got into the rhythm, it was good to make partnership with Kane (Williamson) and (Will) Young. “He said,” It was good to walk with the ups and downs of ODI cricket. We were thinking of scoring runs around 300. Glenn (Philips) and Mitchell (Santner) performed brilliantly. ”
