Post Match Presentation.
Babar: “Winning the first game gives us more confidence. We carried the confidence from the ODIs. Rizwan played outstanding innings. The first six overs of our bowling wasn’t good, but we did well to restrict them in the back five. And Rizwan’s innings was the difference too. The plan while chasing was to get momentum as openers, knowing that Fakhar and Hafeez will follow. The idea was to utilize the first six overs well.”
Rizwan is the Player of the Match. He said: “It was a bit tricky track in the second innings, But the way the skipper and I started in the Powerplay it was good. Fakhar’s ODI innings was on my mind today while playing on how to play on this surface by taking some time early on. International cricket is always about pressure. The message was also coming from the dugout and keep going. We like that we have good batsmen in the lower order too.”
Klaasen: “We were 10-15 short. The wicket was good. Aiden and I had a good partnership. I reckon Janneman and Aiden played, showed early it was a good wicket. A few balls were inconsistent with the spinners. When I got in, Aiden said it was a good wicket to play shots. If we had executed better with the ball in the death, our score was enough. One or two things on the field too. Need to fine-tune fielding choices and bowling effort too. We can turn it around with some fine-tuning and execution.”
