The game was sold out within three days, with roughly 80,000 units produced overall (only going out of print to make room for Brian Lara Cricket 96).

His figures of 2/17 in four overs included wickets of Simmons and Shimron Hetmyer. Moeen Ali bowled a superb line with clever variations in pace to dismantle the top-order.
