Post-match thoughts

Sarfraz Ahmed: It is not easy to win 10 series' in this format and that too in a row. The credit goes to the players and the management. All the players are becoming match winners. I had confidence on Shaheen. He is a left-armer, that helped me to allow him to bowl the final over. I briefed him on the plan and he showed that he has the capability. Yes, he is young and inexperienced but he will learn. Imad has done well to come back. Shadab is doing well. Whenever I need, I have Hafeez bowling as well. I felt Hasan will do well after the 10th over and that is why I brought him late. We felt we played out too many dot balls. We also have to ensure that the lower-order contributes more. It is a big win and I hope people are happy with this.

Aaron Finch: We were a bit tentative in the powerplay. Going from 6 down in the powerplay in the last game to tonight, we were too conservative. When pakistan applies the squeeze on you, it can be very tough. They are playing great cricket at this moment and are confident. All credit to them. There are definite areas in which we can improve. We will come out in game 3 and give it our best shot. All the chat around was about the wicket, our positive intent, postive playing and we did not go out there and sum up the options quickly. We allowed the run-rate to go up to 9 and onwards pretty quickly. The bowlers are doing very well. Nathan is coming back after an injury and there are a few guys who are coming back after an injury. So, it is good to see their confidence.

Imad Wasim, Man of the Match: I have been doing it for a while. I have been bowling in the powerplays. It was different to the last game. I tried bowling wicket-to-wicket. I have been working hard. You have to see the situation and bowl accordingly. I knew they won't go after me. I see what the batsman are trying to do and accordingly make my plans.
