Qais Ahmed's 3/21 gets him the Player of the Match award. "We need to improve in the field. We give at least 10-15 runs away in the field, and that's a huge amount of runs in T20 cricket," Rizwan says. "We're struggling to build partnerships in the middle order, but Qais and Nawaz bolwed brilliantly and stifled our momentum. I'm in a bit of pain, and we're awaiting X-Rays on my foot. Hopefully it's all good."

Sarfaraz is hugged by Azam Khan, Dhani and Steyn share a laugh and a cuddle, Hasnain smiles that sweet smile of this, Sarfaraz has a joke with Dhani. Lovely spirit this match ends in.
