Glenn Maxwell (Washington Freedom Captain): "Certainly, it got a little too close than what we thought. Mark Chapman did well in the end to take us home.
Maybe just not sure how much is the winning total. Leaving too much to do in the end. They have couple of world class bowlers, you execute the yorkers well.
Not really, just trying to take off pressure from the guys coming in. I was lucky enough to get a couple off the middle that gave us a bit of buffer.
It is 3 now, after the disappointment of the first game. Three very different games. The batting group stood up. I am sure many guys would be ruing the fact that they were not there in the end to hit the winning runs."

Mitchell Owen (POTM): "Not in the MLC (on multiple POTM awards in recent times). I just want to get the team off to a good start and take the pressure off the middle order. It was a very nice wicket, both powerplays were even. It was a true wicket.
No discussion halfway, it is just sort of coaches and staff backing what I do. It is going right, I am ready to bowl at any stage.
Umm, I feel like the situation is such that we have a few injuries. I am just happy to help with the ball and help the team."

Nicholas Pooran (MI New York Captain): "I think that was a good score. We slowed down in the middle overs. We needed to control the powerplay but they came out positively. I think we got wickets too late. In a chase, once you get off to a good start, it is hard to pull it back. We fought hard and that is commendable from the boys.
I won't say it got harder. They bowled well. I could have been a bit braver, got out at the wrong time.
We know we haven't batted well as a group. As a team, it is important to not lose games by a big margin. Our net run-rate is still good. We are competing which is important, I belief the results should go in our way sometime."
