"Yeah it's awesome to contribute for my team with a win. Our main focus was to win today and secure our spot in the Semi Final. I think we did pretty well today. I think our main focus was to attack the stumps. If you give any width, their batters will free their arms. I wanted to keep it as tight as possible and then bring in the variable bounce," said Michael Bracewell, who was awarded the Player of the Match for his performance vs Bangladesh in New Zealand's 5-wicket win.
"Yeah, the breeze did remind me of home. Wellington always offers help of the breeze and it was nice to get a little reminder of home. Yeah I think, that's the benefit of our side. We have a balanced squad and whenever you come to this part of the world, you always get the opportunity to bowl more. I am geared up to bowl in every game even if it's in Eden Park. I was hoping that the two batters see us off. Rachin is going from strength to strength and it's really nice to see that," he added.
