Watto 'Faf'lous Match

Asking about their strike, Watson said, "Nice to bat like that tonight. Felt something slightly off earlier in the tournament, technical thing. Bit more intent on the front leg, getting my weight through the ball. We complement each other well. He's a great guy, love batting with him."

Plessis was overwhelmed with the win and answered, " It's coming well. I think the big thing for me to bat till the end. I don't want to score 30s and 40s and get out. Great that we could get a great partnership tonight. Great that Watto (Shane Watson) got those runs as well for us, he's a big player in our side."

He gave credits to the captain, saying, "Credit to MS Dhoni and Stephen Fleming for sticking with the side. It is a Chennai way to stick with the players more than other teams might even when others feel like making changes. It comes with experience and credit to the management for sticking with the players."
