• After the match, Bora stated the bouncer was a pre-planned tactic discussed with the coach and team captain.

• “Our plan from the start, as discussed with the coach and captain, was to bowl a bouncer to him. He plays the bouncer well, and we knew there was a risk that it could go for six. However, our idea was to attack with a bouncer on the first ball. We accepted the risk of a six, as the goal was to create a wicket-taking chance immediately,” he said after the match.
