At the post-match presentation ceremony, captain Mitchell Marsh said, “Maybe they got 20 runs more. Many teams have bowled first in this tournament and teams have won. Don’t think that the toss was won or lost. We played. Didn’t do well on the field ( (The players dropped a lot of catches) But like I said, we need to win and it’s not better.
