Australian wicketkeeper Matthew Wade expressed his happiness after his side thrashed Pakistan in the second semi-final of T20 World Cup.
“I was talking to Stoinis at the other end and tried to work out what they’re doing. I got a little more pace on than expected, I probably could have used it a little bit earlier, but yeah.. glad to get a couple at the end. There wasn’t a lot of chat before I went in as we lost quick wickets. But when I got out there, me and Marcus had batted together in the first game and got some momentum today as well. I was a bit unsure but Marcus showed me the way out,” said Matthew Wade in a post-match presentation.
“I was out of the two teams for 2-3 years, just came back 20 games ago and am happy to have repaid the faith,” he added.
