Farhan Yousaf: "All the guys played very well in this game. We lost the last match, but the management was very supportive of the boys. They gave 100% in this match. [Bowling unit] It is great to have so many pace bowlers like Ali Raza. Ali bowled very well in the last match and this one. All the bowlers are very good and have a lot of pace; I really enjoy managing the bowling during the game. [Watching Usman and Hussain bat] Yes, it is a very good sign for the next matches. Ahmed and Usman are the backbone of the team. I really appreciate their effort because they helped us recover from the collapse in the top order. We will look to carry that into the next match."

Thomas Knight: "Coming out on the wrong side is never ideal, but the amount of fight we showed, especially with the ball to take it as deep as we did, is certainly a positive. It shows what we are about as a group: taking it to the end and just competing. [Halfway point discussion] The plan was simple: restrict, restrict, restrict. We wanted as many dots and singles as possible to build pressure and get our wickets that way. The aim was to go as deep as we could, and if we reached a point where we had a chance to win, that would be great. We pushed hard and took it to the 44th over, so we are delighted with that. [Facing the fast bowlers] It was tough. They are at the quicker end of bowlers that any of us have faced. But the way a lot of us stood up and fought was a good summary of what we are like as a unit and a good reflection on ourselves. [Expectations for the next match] Maybe just a little bit more from the bat. We've had a few good starts, but if someone can kick on and get a 70 or 80, it makes all the difference; that turns the total into 220 or 230 in no time. That is probably what we will look into. However, I couldn't be much happier with how everyone performed in the second half; everyone worked so hard for each other."

Player of the Match, Usman Khan: "[Conditions in the middle] They were slightly slower, so we waited for the bad ball and focused on rotating the strike. It wasn't easy to put together a 100-plus partnership. [Discussion between Hussain] We trusted each other and followed the process of picking up singles and waiting for the loose deliveries as planned. [Batting unit overall] We are working hard on our process during matches and practice sessions on rest days. The team is aiming to win the World Cup and knows everyone needs to improve in certain areas, specifically their batting. We need to build more partnerships and be more aggressive at the crease."

4:50 pm Pakistan began their chase with steady confidence, putting on an opening stand of 43 before Baloch was bowled by Jones in the 10th over. Minhas was handed a life when Knight dropped him on 27, but the error wasn't costly; he was dismissed by Jones in the very next over, undone by the angle as he played a false stroke. Following the quick loss of both openers, Hussain and Usman stepped in to stabilize the innings. The batting pair barely put a foot wrong, absorbing the pressure and rotating the strike effectively to keep the scoreboard ticking. Usman Khan anchored the chase brilliantly, reaching his half-century off 59 balls and eventually falling for a vital 75 off 85 balls, caught at long on. Hussain also contributed a solid 47 before being caught at short third while attempting a reverse sweep. The Scottish bowlers performed excellently, executing precise lines to suppress scoring and supported by smart fielding. However, the under-par total on the board proved too low to defend, as they struggled to break through during the game's key moments. Jones and Saraswat finished with two wickets apiece. Post-match presentations will follow shortly.
