Player of the Match: Reeza Hendricks
Reeza Hendricks (POTM): "Yeah, I am pleased to get to 3-figures. It's been quite some time since I got the milestone. Also, nice to get the series win, to get the team over the line. It has been a very special night.
Yeah absolutely, it is another opportunity to play for the country. First over, five dots and then I got a boundary. Everything seems to click after that. Tactic was to target the short boundary and it paid off.
Played with Rassie at the Lions, we know each other and he played an unbelievable knock."

Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan Captain): "He played very well, congratulations to Reeza Hendricks. Saim Ayub was exceptional. After 10 overs, we had a small collapse as we have an inexperienced middle-order and that was the difference.
(About Saim Ayub) He is a superb player and hopefully he comes up with more such innings.
(On Irfan Khan Niazi's cameo) He is a player who we are targeting as a power-hitter, hopefully we can keep it up. We have another game to go, we love cricket and we will give our best."

Heinrich Klaasen (South Africa Captain): "Yeah, goal acheived. Happy for the boys. (on Reeza) He is so easy on the eye, when he comes off like that, he is an unbelievable human-being as well and couldn't happen for a better guy. We are super stoked for him.
Bit frustrated but quite happy. It was at the stage, we looked like to keep them down to 180 and then ill-dsicipline came in again. It was a par score. Dew came in and when we looked at the wicket before the game, knew it won't change much, quite pleased.
They started to nail the yorkers in the end. But yeah, Rassie is a class act and all I had to do is to bring him back on strike and he got the job done.
(on Dayyaan Galiem) Super stoked for him, he bowled incredibly well, hopefully, he can do it tomorrow again. Main goal was to win the series, tomorrow we will see who is fit and who is not and take it from there.
Yeah, definitely. The main goal was to win the series. Tomorrow, we'll see who is fit and who is not."
