After the famous win, ‘Man of the match’ Steve Smith said: “It feels amazing to know the urn is coming home. Incredibly special.
“I have been here a few times, things haven’t gone our way, and we haven’t performed to our best of ability in 2013 and 2015. To come back here, I always wanted to tick off my bucket list to get the urn over here. Obviously, there is another game, and we would like to win that. Extremely satisfying.”
