Murtuza Trunkwala (Chhatrapati Sambhaji Kings Captain): "I’m satisfied with the performance of our team, especially our bowlers Anand Thenge and Yatin Mangwani to restrict the opponent to something around 140. We always try to have wickets in hand and take the innings deep. We have got 4-5 five opening batters in the team that’s why we are trying different opening combinations. Moving ahead, we will just stick to our plans and execute it."
Digvijay Patil (POTM) - "I knew if I take my time in the start, I can counter it later and score at a higher rate later. I had my niggles earlier but thanks to staff and management that I am fully fit and fine now. Me and Digvijay Jadhav just wanted to take the game deep, and we knew if we can bat deep we can win the game for our team and we are happy that we did."
Player of the match: Digvijay Patil
Yash Kshirsagar (Puneri Bappa Captain): "If we could have made 20 more runs in the first innings, then could have defended it well. Although we are doing well in batting, bowling and fielding, still we need to take a look at what is going wrong and look to win the next matches. Yes, we gave a lot of extras which shall be looked upon further. Our spinners did well in keeping it tight with their line and length which helped us take the game to the 19th over."
