Fakhar Zaman, Player of the Match: If the top order scores runs, then chances are higher to win because you get a start. But I think the way Farooq started, I wanted to support him. He was finding boundaries. I was also getting fours but I was making him play more. It's great for us that he performed so well on debut. When he played five dots, I told him that no one will give you loose balls at this level; you have to make them into boundary opportunities. But we knew how talented he is and that he would deliver. Qalandars are selfless. Hoping to make a good comeback in this tournament.

Pindiz were unable to muster a complete performance and found it tough to contend with the scoreboard pressure, falling short by 32 runs. 210 was chaseable but that needed someone from the top to go berserk and make full use of the powerplay. Shaheen thwarted their plans with early wickets, as he often does in this format, and they were never able to dominate the game for long enough. Yasir was looking good at 58 but a soft dismissal opened the floodgates. Saad then batted phenomenally down the order, did the needful, but just ran out of overs; perhaps he could have been sent in earlier. Superb bowling from Shaheen, Usama, and Raza; they were all miserly and have secured a timely win to get their campaign back on track. Pindiz didn't have a complete bowling lineup and needed another pacer who could bowl upfront as well as at the death; some strategic errors cost them yet another game
