"Mandeep Singh and Nitin Saini played superbly upfront, which set the tone for us. Then Azhar and Praveen bowled beautifully that helped us grab two vital points in the tournament," Hussey said at post-match press conference here last night.
Hussey also singled out Mandeep, Azhar Mahmood and Praveen Kumar for special praise.
"Mandeep is one youngster who knows what hard work means. If he continues to work hard, we will continue to get results.
"Azhar's all-round capabilities has helped the team, while Praveen was outstanding with his bowling figures (eight runs in four overs against Bangalore yesterday). He is probably one of the better swing bowlers in the world. The conditions also favoured him tonight," said Hussey. (MORE) PTI BDN CM
