That's it from us here. See you again tomorrow! Thanks for joining us.
"We have depth in our batting and we want to utilise that," says Shadab. "We have a method to how we play. It can go wrong. Somtimes we can get all out for 100, but all of us are on the same page.. Me not batting was part of the plan. Asif didn't bat highly enough and didn't get many runs last time. This time I thought it was good to give him and others confidence by sending them above me."
"Very nice to get the win," says Munro, who's man of the match. "It's easy to be timid and iffy, but when you're aggressive and get out that's not a problem. Credit to Shadab and the management who've created a beautiful team environment." Gives Nawaz a shout-out, who he says has done brilliantly in the KPL.
"We didn't bowl well. We didn't execute the plan, and we didn't hit our areas. We either bowled too full or too short. We didn't field well, either. But credit to the other team, they played very well," says Imad Wasim.
"I should have finished the game but I'm happy we won," says Azam Khan. "The 100 in the BPL helped because when you start middling the ball, it gives you confidence. I have a different role with IU. Sometimes I play as a floater, and sometimes as a finsiher"
Well, you'd been calling for Shoaib Malik, here he is
