It feels great, obviously to finish off the World Cup league games with another win. I think we’re peaking at the moment and looking forward to the semi-finals in Kolkata,”said all rounder Mitchell Marsh after their victory against Bangladesh in Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune on Saturday.
When “Daily news “asked about his performance he said he is happy to have contributed to win the game. As a team we are confident to face Semi final against South Africa in Kolkata on Thursday said Marsh.
Mitchell Marsh’s brilliant unbeaten 177-run knock helped Australia pick up the win and the 32-year-old all-rounder was presented with the man-of-the-match trophy for his blistering knock.This knock was his career best in ODI format and his experience in playing IPL helped him.
Australia take a seven-match winning streak into their semi final encounter against South Africa and Marsh said that they were pleased with the momentum they take into the knockout game.
Marsh’s performance with the ball on the day was not upto the mark as he conceded 48 runs in four overs without claiming any wickets. But set things right with his incredible knock.
“It’s rare that you win the Man of the Match award after going for nearly fifty from 4 overs, but I would want to contribute more to the team,” Marsh said.
“It was important for me to back myself at 3, knowing when Head comes back, I’ll have to go down to 3. Have failed a few times, but have backed myself to perform,” Marsh explained.
Marsh gave a shout out to his family and mentioned that the innings and the win was special for everyone back in the household, who had supported him during testing times.
“Sure my mum and dad would be watching back home and they would be happy with this, my grandpa was a great man and I’m sure he’d be happy out there,” he concluded.
