Winning skipper, Babar Azam said:
Very happy. Performed very well in the bowling and in the batting. Length was crucial. Everyone executed their plans. In my opinion we could chase better than this. But a win always gives you confidence. We’ll try to do our best in the next matches and win.
Losing Skipper, Scott Edwards said:
It was still the right decision to bat first. We thought if we got a score on the board, we’ll give the bowlers a chance to defend it. Just not good enough today. Couldn’t get partnerships together, couldn’t string any boundaries. Bowlers always put their efforts in, but 90 was never going to be enough.
Player of the Match, Shadab Khan said:
I just tried to bowl it at the stumps, that was my plan, just to keep it simple. I have bowled against few of their players in county cricket, so I know how they play. All our bowlers bowled well. The fast bowlers put pressure in the powerplay, and I took wickets because of that pressure built. We didn’t finish the game well in the last couple of matches, but we managed to do it today.
