Jordan Silk also played a crucial role in the victory, staying in the game and supporting Henriques. The turning point of the match may have been when Clarke missed a Henriques' stumping chance, which also resulted in a four. If they had taken that wicket, the outcome of the game may have been different. 

Zampa, Wood, and Webster took a wicket each. However, they were unable to break the partnership between Henriques and Silk.
