Mandi - 5
Not as creative as usual and offers a mixed bag defensively.
Nathan Burns - 5
Very quiet, bit of a shocker saw him withdrawn on the 54th minute.
Roy Krishna - 5
Forced to drop deep by Sydney’s controlling ball movement, then missed his only clear-cut chance of the match from the spot.
Cillian Sheridan - 6
He looks like a scrawny Irish bare-knuckle boxer and the way he rag-dolls around the pitch, he knows it. Still, he'll be disappointed that physicality is all he really offers.
Subs
David Williams - 6
Made an impact and got on the end of a few dangerous balls but couldn't exercise that final bit of quality.
Sarpreet Singh - 6
Drove one fantastic chance straight at Andrew Redmayne, but looked threatening throughout.
