What did Travis Head say?

Speaking at the post-match presentation, Travis Head said, “I thought we did decently well. Even though we only took two wickets in our innings, I still thought it was probably below expectations. We felt like we performed pretty well in the second innings. We lost wickets. The first half was under pressure.”

Head added, “They played well, as I said, I still feel that if we had been given that score after winning the toss and playing based on that, I think we would have accepted that score. So I don’t think when you look back you find anything you could have done differently or changed. However I thought we executed it well and we were on the score we wanted to chase.”
