“To come here to India, toughest place as a better and put in a winning performance, it’s head and shoulders above the rest. I got a bit luckier in the second innings, played and missed a few,” Pope mentioned.
“Wanted to be positive with my sweep and reverse-sweep. I’ve tinkered through my career, changed my technique specifically for this series. The family have had early starts but can catch up on some sleep now.”
Bharat’s chase of 231 went horribly unsuitable as soon as Hartley (7/62) spun into Bharat’s top-order, igniting a rot that noticed the hosts getting bowled out within the ultimate over of the week.
