Moeen Ali (Player of the Match): "This kind of innings means a lot to me, as I haven’t been to Warwickshire for a long time. I haven’t scored a lot of runs in the last couple of matches so this was very important for me. Although they gave us a couple of loose deliveries, when they started bowling in the right areas, it wasn’t easy to hit it. I just backed myself at the moment and looked to score more runs. Our job is to entertain the people watching the match. We were not overthinking before this match. From now we will think about the quarter finals and go on to face the team, whoever competes against us in the match. The spinners have been doing a fantastic job for the team and they did the same today also for us and helped us win the match."
Player of the Match: Moeen Ali
Alex Davies (Warwickshire Captain): "Good night's work. Great to get to the total. Moeen played a masterful knock. Yes, he is a great character and he played an innings of his life. The pitch played well and the spinners did their job in the end. Bethell bowled well as an all rounder and Lintott and Briggs played well as well. We haven't thought about it and will treat it as another game for us. Yes, the boys are up for it and with finals day to come we are having a good fielding unit. We will hope to do well in the quarters. Let's look forward to the quarters. Sam is fine and will play in the knockouts. Just was a bit sore."
Peter Handscomb (Leicestershire Captain): "I think the opposition played well. We had a great competition, but today Moeen played well and scored 100 and that was the difference. The club is in a strong position and shame to not make the finals but we were in it till the end. Yes, they have done well and they stayed calm throughout. They have been handy with the bat as well. Yes, Hull bowled well and he has been great and is something special. He is a smart bowler. It does a little bit. But pleasing to be in the shout and was in our hands. They played better than us tonight."
2:12 PM IST and 9:42 PM Local Time | That’s the end of the match. Warwickshire won the encounter by 72 runs.
