It gets better as the game goes on and the night goes on. I had to modify my spin play from what I did in England. That was a huge help in shaping my game before the franchise tournaments.

After the first 10 overs, when there was some support for the batsman, I think it was a difficult surface since it favoured the bowlers most of the time. I think we were trailing by 20 to 30 runs as the inning came to a close. We managed to restrict them to 100 for 5, which I believe is a good recovery considering how we bowled initially. If we had bowled better in the final few frames, we might have won the match.
Najmul commended Malan’s performance, pointing out that the English batsman performed a strategic innings that benefited the visiting team.
