After the conclusion of the match, RCB pace bowler Lockie Ferguson reflected on the victory, saying:
“100%, similar to the last game, throughout the innings, guys picking up wickets and all the hard work is paying off now. Even when we were having those losses, coaching staff, leadership were very even, we were enjoying ourselves and had good time, we knew if we had played to our potential, hopefully get on a roll and finish the tournament that way.”
Ferguson continued:
“Scores this tournament sort of all over it, the batters did extremely well tonight with the ball gripping and we struck early and made my job easier in the end. It’s exciting, this part of the competition, it’s nice to be in win or loss, and will be up against Chennai in few days. Obviously, it kept me challenging bowling here, but great working with Griffith, doing a lot of work and with this bowling unit which picks up wicket, makes the job lot easier to me.”
