Australia skipper Mitchell Marsh lauded Tim David as he supported him in the side’s victory over New Zealand in the first T20I of the three-match series at Sky Stadium on Wednesday.
Marsh along with David built an unbeaten partnership of 44 runs in just 19 balls, during a run-chase of 216. Out of 44 runs, 31 runs were scored by David in just 10 balls with the help of three sixes and two fours in his innings.
“Timmy David is extremely calm and has got a lot of confidence in his ability towards the end there. We’re very lucky to have him. Just a great game of cricket. Any time you chase down 216 is a great effort. We just got over the line by the sheer brilliance of Tim David. We’ve got the Test series starting in a week so our bowlers will likely rotate. We’ve also got guys like Steve Smith who will come in for a crack at some point in time,” Marsh said in the post-match presentation.
