Player of the Match - Zeeshan Ashraf
Zeeshan Ashraf (POTM) : "First of all, my support staff has been with me throughout my journey. All thanks to the Almighty god. They said to me to play according to the merit of the ball. We thought of posting 170-180. However, 150-160 was a good score as well."
Saud Shakeel (Karachi Whites Captain) : "I think the credit goes to Zeeshan for playing an outstanding innings on a tough pitch. We should have restricted him around 130-140. We should have played the powerplay better. We didn't get the start we wanted and still the match got close."
Zain Abbas (Multan Region Captain) :"The boys played really well. We fought with good energy. All thanks to the Almighty God. I wanted to encourage youngsters and keep calm on the pitch. We should improve our fielding."
