Sikandar Raza: To leak 40 odd runs in the last three overs, I thought momentum shifted and then 90 odd for two or three at 10 (overs) and you're backing yourself...to see ourselves get all out on 110 is a really tough pill to swallow right now. I've always said you correct these things in the nets. If we all go back to our training methods, and train smartly, look at conditions, we know exactly what the conditions are like, what's best when the ball get old outside powerplay. It's very easy to go in nets and do your power hitting and just hit out but the quality of bowling and sometimes wicket don't allow that...so to upskill yourselves is very crucial for us. If you're not finding a boundary, hit it in pockets for one and twos, have less dots...have a partnership and you stay in the game. It's all up to individuals who raise hand, understand where we have gone wrong and try to correct our mistakes which I know we are very capable of. (On bowling and positives). We were looking to win the game to be honest when you see yourself at 90 odd after 10 for three and you are thinking we have a great chance of winning

Tayyab Tahir, Player of the Match: It was a bit difficult to hit with the old ball, made plan with partner that we will go till the end. We were talking to each other that we will run hard, hit every ball and if we can't hit a six, then we will run

All the young players from Pakistan grabbed their opportunity and were head and shoulders above Zimbabwe in every facet of the game. The batting did struggle against spin but a late resurgence from Irfan Khan and Tayyab Tahir ensured they put a reasonable total on the board. Zimbabwe went all guns blazing in the powerplay and were 60/2 at the end of the sixth over but the introduction of spin made life tough for the home side. Even though Raza kept applying pressure on the bowlers, there weren't enough partnerships and the game progressively slipped away from their hands as they were kept on the hook and weren't allowed to break free. Zimbabwe need to do some serious work to avoid batting collapses. Losing wickets in clusters often puts them out of the game and Raza made some noteworthy points in the post-match presser that we hope resonate with the team

Brad: "Pakistan has done the right thing to get themselves free from the shackles of Shadab, Faheem, Babar, and now Rizwan allowing the bench warmers to showcase their worth in free spirit."

Areeb: "Muqeem, Faisal, Abrar, Mehran, Sajid. Finally some spinners starting to show some promise. Long ways to go but there is hope. " makes sense? Heartening to see spinners coming through the ranks indeed

Dhami: "@Faust Grenaldo Thanx for the jinx"

Syed Noor: "Did you deliberately put the comment about Raza Rescue act right before Raza wicket !!!" No, I didn't

sajjad: "Can't believe my eyes, Raza's career on Cricinfo shows that he has played for 40 teams.. Wow"

Faust Grenaldo: "Looks like its gonna need another Sikandar Raza rescue act to win it from here."
