Time to conclude our coverage from the 22nd game of the ongoing PSL 2024 between Lahore Qalandars and Islamabad United. This is myself, Saptak Sanyal signing off on the behalf of my co-commentators Anirudh Modi and Ayan Chatterjee(1st innings) and our scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Good night.
Shaheen Afridi (Lahore Qalandars Captain): "It's a team effort, and our cricket was good today. We could not be consistent through out the season but all of them have put in efforts. The way the new ball was moving, we felt 150-160 was enough and it was important to take early wickets. It was about bowling on length. It's been a champion team since 2 years, we never give up and always give our best for Qalandars Pride. All credit goes to the team, they have had a good scouting system to bring onboard new and exciting talent from all over Pakistan. He bowled well today and we hope we continue to see the same from him."
Rassie van der Dussen (Player of the Match)- "I have had a great two or three weeks and luckily we had a great outing tonight. The pitch was a bit on the bowler's side but the message was to take the game deep. The pitch went better and the boundary was shorter, so the run was about to come. The chat with every other batter was to be clear with you plan. Stick to your plan, whatever it is."
