Babar Azam(Winning Captain): "I always try to continue my game and work on my strengths. There was a little bit of a problem during the calling when I was batting with Imam. But it got better as the partnership moved on. The wicket was a little double-paced and wasn't that easy. There was heat but that is not an excuse. Credit to the bowlers. Shadab came back and did well. The standards he sets on the field is brilliant as well. Cricket is changing. We have to plan and play with a lot of intensity. Outstanding finish from Khushdil. You have to take it deep so that there is less pressure."
Khushdil Shah(Man of the Match):The situation I was in, I just tried to take the match deep.I have been working on my batting from the last few years. The coaching camp here for the last 10-12 days has helped me a lot. The wicket was not easy to bat on it was double paced.
Babar Azam has given his Man of the Match award to Khushdil Shah.
Nicholas Pooran(Losing Captain): Really proud of the guys the way they played, It was really hot here. Pakistan are a world-class team, Babar and Imam played very well in the middle. Babar showed his class. We tried to swing the ball at the start of the innings. Then we tried to bowl into the pitch. The wicket was pretty good even at the night. We are a young team and a young bowling lineup. We can only go forward. Hope is one of the best batters in the format.
