However, the opening batsman got out in 12th over of the innings scoring 39 runs. Dawid Malan did not hide his disappointment after the loss. 32-year old said, “Every opportunity is a chance for someone like me. Myself, Vincey [James Vince] and Sam Billings have been around the squad for four years and waited a long time for these opportunities which have been few and far between. For us, when we do get an opportunity, it’s about scoring runs that win games of cricket. That’s why I’m a bit disappointed,”
