Josh Hazlewood: "I think this is bigger [than 2015]. Obviously we had won at home in front of our home fans, but the challenges we've been through in the last couple of months - coming here, and playing in those conditions against India, which is a pretty special team. Again, to win on a day like this is amazing. Such a great crowd; the Indian fans are second to none. A couple had started leaving there towards the end, but some crowd! I think that's just the belief that's in the squad. The first two games were against probably the two of the better teams in the competition, but to sort of to be knocking on wood the whole tournament basically and just been on a run. I think tonight was our perfect game just about. We put it together when it counts"
Marnus Labuschagne: "What we've achieved today is unbelievable. It's the best achievement I've ever been part of. Just to come to India... Ten from ten, with one to play - they've been the team of the tournament. They've played unbelievably. But you knew if we played our best cricket, we had a chance. Our bowlers were sensational, and then Travis put on a hell of a display. It's great to be a part of it. I know you guys know I'm a man of faith, and believe in God. The way everything's happened is unbelievable to me. It's just amazing; I'm lost for words. The amount of times I thought I'm done - even last night the team didn't get named until about 10.10 [pm]. Coaches went to the ground - might be dewy, I might be out. I'm very thankful to them for sticking with me. I don't have many words to explain. Few months ago, I wasn't even in South Africa in the one-day team; and to play 19 games straight is truly a miracle. I don't know how; I give thanks to God for that."
