Match Details
Qasim Akram | Central Punjab Skipper: "Thanks to the almighty for the first win. We will look to carry forward the winning momentum. The plan was to promote Faizan and he delivered by hitting a few blows. We have to do well while fielding and that’s the area we will look to improve in our next match."
Saud Shakeel | Sindh Skipper: "Overall it was a good effort but we failed to chase it down. The plan was simply to take on the bowling in the middle overs. So, I batted lower down the order. The only difference is that we lacked too many runs in the last overs. We didn’t want to go with an extra spinner and thought two were enough."
Shoaib Malik | Player of the Match: "I think playing under a young captain, the first responsibility should be giving confidence. Giving him assurance that whenever he requires advice, he has someone on the field. He is a very good talent and he will play for Pakistan for at least 15 years. For me, it’s about assessing the conditions and play accordingly. The start we got and Faizan’s fifty gave us a strong base for us to score big in the last overs. The goal should always be to score 40-50 in the last overs."
