(On Sam Curran) He is playing with a lot of clarity at the moment. He is playing brilliantly with that short side, we wanted to have a left-hand, right-hand combination. We knew Akeal Hosein would have to bowl and we were prepared for that. They are a quality bowling side, so it is important for us to perform like this. Everything did not go our way in the last two games, but we managed to win, this will give us a lot of confidence.
