Opener Kyle Mayers added 55 off 38 balls at the top of the order, combining with Pooran in a record 85-run fourth wicket stand to pull the run chase around from a 43-3 in the seventh over. Mayers too was dominant, and his stay at the crease was highlighted by a majestic hook for six over deep square as he continued the rich form which saw him earn the Man-of-the-Series for the recent Test series clean sweep.
