Sodhi finished with 3-21 from his three overs with Bracewell then nabbing the last three wickets in successive balls to complete a hat-trick.

Stirling got off to a quick start in the first over, but that was that. We got close in the last week in the ODIs but we didn't play to our best in the T20s. We have got a lot of good teams coming over before the World Cup and we have to keep improving day in and day out. Nothing more than wanting to play for my country, and it is a great feeling. MoM: Pretty special day to contribute to a good win for the country. The next game would be on a new wicket, so it might play similar to the first game. The way Dane played to get us to that score was outstanding.
