Player of the match Alex Hales: “This would be right up there for me as my perfect innings. India in the semi-final, big occasion, I’m so happy with how I played, it’s special.
“This is one of the best grounds to bat at in the world, it’s such a good surface and you get such good value for your shots with the shorter square boundaries. It’s a ground I really enjoy playing at.
“I never thought I’d play in a World Cup again so this is so special, and to do it in a country where I love playing. It’s one of the best nights of my career.”
