Cole McConchie (Canterbury Kings Captain): "Yes ideal result for us. The bowlers set it up and then the batting was great from Chad and Ken. Yes, the bowlers did their job and so did the batters, and made my job easier. Good to get out there and finish the job. It was a tricky surface and we made it look easy and credit to the boys. Yes, very special to play the finals at home. We have been in away finals and now play at home in front of the home ground. I am looking forward to it and we all are to be brutally honest. Let's hope for the best and see you on Saturday."
Hamish Rutherford (Otago Volts Captain): "Yes, it was not that bad. We lost our way in the middle overs. We got a defendable total but missed out with the ball. Yes, happy to be back on Thursday and play the final on that day. Yes, of course. We were off the boil and they played well. Credit to them. Not much different. Keep playing the best and hope for the best."
Ken McClure (Gamechanger of the Match): "Yes, cheers! Yes, nice to win and contribute to the total. Chad was great and we got going. I thought we picked up a lot of wickets and that kept the score down. Yes, happy to get a home final and get rest till Saturday."
