Kane Williamson | NZ skipper:  

It was not our best effort. Surya's innings was out of this world. One of the best knocks I've ever seen. Some of those shots, I've never seen before. They were outstanding, we weren't up-to mark. 

We didn't get momentum with the ball, didn't get enough wickets and didn't get momentum with the bat either. Surya is the best player in the worlds.

 

Hardik Pandya | India captain: 

Can't get any better than this. Everyone chipped it but it was surely a special innings by Surya. 

We would have taken a score of 170-175. Bowlers did well and it was about being aggressive in the mindset. It doesn't mean taking a wicket every ball, but being aggressive with the ball is important. 

Suryakumar Yadav | Player of the Match:

The plan was clear when I went into bat. At the 12th/13th over, we thought about batting deep and getting around 170-175 was a par score. Secret (behind his freak shots) is about the intent and you need to enjoy yourself. It's also about the work you do in the practice sessions. Fantastic crowd here.
