Match Details
Suresh Kumar | Player of the Match: "It was initially sticky but the ball came onto the bat better later. I play according to the merit of the ball. I got drained a bit."
Murugan Ashwin | Salem captain: "We should have batted better. On a very good track, 146 wasn't enough. Building partnerships - we need to do that. We need at least 2 partnerships and that'll get us to 180. I knew I could bat in the powerplay that's why I promoted myself."
