Was AB de Villiers worried?
AB: When we got a couple of wickets; a wicket or two always turns the momentum around a bit. I was very happy with the way we were in the first 10 overs.
We just hung in there and stayed calm and composed. We used all the information that we were getting to make a breakthrough, and so, yeah, very happy with those first few wickets.
Q: There were three really great moments in the field: Your catch, your run out and Imran's run out. Game changers…
AB: Yeah, those moments happen when you build a bit of pressure on the opposition, when you create a bit of pressure through dot balls and through good bowling, I thought we squeezed really well in patches today, and that's the pressure we're building on the opposition the whole time.
We shifted the pressure really well today. It was all on us the first few overs, and we did really well, managed really well to turn that around and to put it back into their court.
That's when the little moments started happening. Always important to take those moments, those little opportunities that come your way, which we did.
So I was very happy with the way we fielded. We worked really hard at that part of our game, and very happy with the way it went today.
I don't know what I was thinking with the catch, though. It happens quickly, those things. Just glad that it stuck.
