Dean Foxcroft (Otago Volts Captain): " Yes great to get the win in the end. It was close but we are happy that we got over the line in the end. It was a good bounce back. I think I played well. My role was to bat through and almost did it. But had belief in Trav and White to get it home for us. Happy with the win and glad we got over the line as well. Thank You so much."
Robert O' Donnell (Auckland Aces Captain) - "It was a good game of cricket. A think we could have got more runs on the board. We were out performed in all the three departments.
We got Guptill at the top and we were aggressive in the powerplay but we need to be smart in the middle. Nice to be back here and we jump on to our next game quickly. Yes, the energy in the field is brilliant. Luke Delport was brilliant with the ball. We fought well till end."

Travis Muller (Gamechanger of the Match): "Yes, obviously great to be out here and do well for the boys. Glad to get the win. Getting the best balls and getting slower balls and yorkers in as well. Just did my stuff and backed my skills. Backed myself with the bat as well. Always a pleasure to contribute to the team and do well for them. Happy and relieved to get the win in the end."
