    Mohammad Hafeez |(Player of the Match) :- I would love it, we had a score on the board, we knew it would be tough to score against spinners. We bowled well, I and Shadab and then the pacers executed the yorkers well.  Being here many times (having played CPL), I knew if I do the basics well, hit the right lines, executed the skills and that worked for me. A little more comfortable when I bowl to the left-handers, but it's still important to hit the right areas.

    Kieron Pollard (WI): Thought 170-180 would have been too much way and the way the guys came back in the last 10 overs with the ball and be consistent in that part of the game. There was moisture and swing, grip for the bowlers, they used the angles and used the wicket a lot more, those Hafeez 4 overs for about 5 or 6 runs and you look back at that say that we could have knocked a few singles here and there. Having said that the guys really fought through and yes we came out on the losing end but the fight we kept through, that was impressive. The way they maneuvered their leg-spinners I thought it was well done by them and then we had to explode towards the end. There are some things we see there (during the chase) and we will continue to improve on that. Will have a lot of intense discussions and try and put your foot forward each and every time. It's all about improvement. For us, someone has to win and someone has to lose and yes we ended up on the losing end today but, all hope is not lost.

    Babar Azam (PAK): We were 10-15 runs short after the rain. But a nice victory. Bowlers bowled really very well. Credit to our bowlers, they bowled really well. We lost momentum because of back to back wickets. We were looking at 170. It's an area we will try to improve in the next few games. The way he (Hafeez) bowled in the powerplay showed his experience. I'm happy as a captain with the way he bowled.
