Shadab Khan (Islamabad United Captain): "Firstly thanks to the almighty. On paper we were looking very good. Great thing is that our execution has been spot on. We are playing wonderfully.
We knew that we would bowl first. Our bowling unit delivered well in the last six overs of the innings. They went according to the plan. The pitch was a bit on the drier side
In T20 cricket, all-rounders bring a lot of value. They add depth in batting and extra options in bowling. They will win you matches. The plan was to take the game deep and it paid off. Rumman bhai is suffering from a cyst. We pray for him."
Andries Gous | Player of the Match: "It's a big relief to be honest, I wasn't sure when it would come but finally it happened, I'm thankful for it. It was a bit slow when it started but as the dew came it started skidding, it was about getting a nice partnership and getting it on from there.
In the beginning, there was pressure, I had a big chat with the coach and a few locals that this is how we want to play and there was backing even if you didn't get in right. Being behind the stumps helped, just seeing the wicket from the start and adjust accordingly was nice."
