So, that’s it from this game. There two games coming your way on Sunday. Do join us for all the action. It begins at 1830 IST. Till then, take care and goodbye!
Wahab Riaz says the way the boys started wasn’t good but the experience came into player here. Credits the way Powell, Miller and Akmal played. States it is a great feeling as a captain when your bowlers are doing well and Irfan is one of the best. Ends by saying it is a good win and they are looking forward to the game tomorrow and he hopes they can make it into the playoffs.
David Miller, Man of the Match, says it was a enjoyable innings but it started rusty, there was a lot going through his head and they needed to stay out there. States he tries to calm himself and he was waiting for the bad balls and once he got his rhythm going, he did not want to stop. Mentions he wanted to give himself time and it worked well, it is doing a little bit in the Powerplay and they need to be cautious there and then take it ahead.
Irfan was the pick, he got three in one over. Wahab also bowled well. It was a complete effort and Wahab will be very happy with his boys.
Quetta though did get off to a decent start courtesy their openers but once Khan fell, they lost wickets in heaps. Within no time they were 6 down and then it almost became impossible for them and they fell well short of the target.
That is a complete performance from Peshawar! They have blow Quetta away. To be honest, 197 was way too much. After The efforts from Miller, Akmal and Powell this was always going to be tough.
