Sussex captain Mike Yardy was full of praise for his side after they clinched glory on Twenty20 Cup finals day with a 63-run victory over Somerset at Edgbaston.
The Sharks saw off the Northamptonshire Steelbacks in the semi-finals, before downing the Sabres in the showpiece finale.
Yardy said: "I think we learned a lot from the Friends Provident Trophy final.
"Our preparation had been very good for that game, but we learned a lot about coping with the mental side of big occasions.
"It's a different kettle of fish when you are playing in front of big crowds at Lord's and Edgbaston and all the hype that goes with it.
"It takes a bit of getting used to, but we dealt with it all really well.
"To win this competition has been an all-round team effort, with everyone chipping in with wickets and runs."
