Head scored 102 in 41 balls, with nine fours and eight sixes. He struck at a strike rate of 248.78.
The left-hand opener stated that skipper Pat Cummins and head coach Daniel Vettori put pressure on the batting line-up
"It was a nice wicket, nice to get away in the powerplay and make the most of it. I was able to contribute at the right time. That mid-way ball did sit up a bit, the odd ball from Jacks spun a bit. The high bouncer could be key. Our scores need a 3 in front now... Pat and Dan put pressure on the batting line-up to make sure we keep going. We're setting up well in each game to get to the score we need," Head said in the mid-inning interview.
