Matt Henry also spoke about his performance and the triple-wicket maiden after the match.“Yeah, it's quite funny, isn't it? The wind was so strong, and it was keeping things pretty simple, and it's funny when you're actually trying to have a simple game plan. A bit of luck as well. One shot a little bit low there too, so maybe the wind pushed me a bit sideways (smiles),” Henry said at the post-match presentation.
