Saud Shakeel (Quetta Gladiators Captain):"It was a dream match for us. Glad we chased down the total quickly. There was surely some support from the pitch and credit to the bowlers for the victory today. The rest break we got has benefited us. As a team, we are doing great. A complete all round performance in all the three departments. Yes, we do play football in the warm-up. Thank you."
Khurram Shahzad (Player of the Match):"I was fully prepared and glad that the results came. In T20 pitches are flat but today there was help for the bowlers. My focus was to hit the length and attack the stumps.
We, the fast bowlers communicated well. My focus always remains on taking wickets on the powerplay with the new ball. Good partnership bowling gives you the result and we got it today."
