Sahibzada Farhan has been named the player of the match for his 100 not out off 58 balls.

He said the wicket was not easy to bat on, and he told Saim that “we will take some time. And even if we take some time, I think we can […] set a big target for my team”.

On his 81-run partnership with Shadab Khan, he said it was “very important”.

“We had lost a couple of wickets in succession, so the idea was to build a partnership. I conveyed it to Shadab … and I believe that partnership proved really good for the team,” he added.
