Colin Munro (Northern Warriors Captain): "The professionalism they showed as a bowling lineup. Guys stepping up with the ball, Azmat, Saqib and Boult did really well.
Finn has showed his class around the world since the last couple of years. He's an action packed power player and its good to have him on our team."
Azmatullah Omarzai (Player of the Match): "I feel really happy because I was trying to bowl fuller to take wickets and I did well for my team. Its difficult for a bowler so I was trying to bowl at the wickets, if I was hit for a boundary, it didn't matter."
