So, that's it from this game. PSL action continues on Saturday as Quetta take on Peshawar. Do join us for the action. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Shadab Khan says they got close in the last game but they took the positives and did well here. States their bowling has been doing well and you need a good bowling attack to win games. Mentions it was not an easy pitch first up and it got easier and toss was crucial. Ends by saying it was a team performance and everybody played their part. Finishes by informing Faheem is recovering well.
Colin Munro, Man of the Match, says the wicket was better and it was a good toss to win. Adds in the first game they did not get enough time to build their innings but they enjoyed themselves today. States the wicket was a lot better later on, when their bowlers bowled full, it skided on but when bowled back of a length, there was something in it for the bowlers and they had the better conditions.
Sarfaraz Ahmed says there weren’t a lot of runs scored and the bowling wasn’t great and they did not expect they would score it so easily and quickly. Adds they need to bowl well and bat well going ahead but first he needs to start winning the toss. Also says they will have a talk about what to do and he hopes they can do well. Ends by saying they were outplayed and he hopes they can comeback strongly.
The victory was actually set up by their bowlers. They restricted them to a low total which was easily chased without losing any wicket. A very dominating performance by Islamabad.
A mockery was made of the run chase! Right from the word go, Munro and Khawaja went after the bowlers. The former was in devastating form and scored his half ton in no time. Khawaja played a good hand and in the end, it was a complete hammering.
