I wasn’t sure- Jos Buttler:
After the match, captain Jos Buttler while talking about his strategy said, “Very disappointing. Halfway through, while chasing 230 we noticed that the ground got wet, I was not sure whether dew would come or not. Some top players are well short of their best. There was a great start in the powerplay, there was a little bounce on the pitch, and the ground fielding was good. It felt like today was the day, but we didn’t do anything special with the bat.”
