Shaheen Shah Afridi (POTM): "Just practising in the nets. Nothing special. Whatever I have practised in the nets, I have executed the same in the middle.
Always happy with performances that help us to be in a winning position. We lost early wickets, and we lost wickets in the middle order as well. My job was to go out there and score some runs with the bat. Our team wanted an early breakthrough, and I was happy to get the job done."

Muhammad Waseem (UAE captain): "I would like to give credit to our bowlers. They were exceptional today. I talked at the toss about restricting them to a low total. That is what they did. We were in the chase till the 15th-16th over, but then we lost wickets in clusters. Middle order has to take some responsibility. We need to learn and move forward. It has been really good playing against Pakistan and India. We have learnt many things from them."
Salman Ali Agha (Pakistan Captain): "I think we did the job done. We still need to bat better in the middle order. We need to rethink that for the rest of the games. Our bowling has done a fine job.
We haven't batted as well as we would have wanted. If we batted well, we would have ended up with 170-180. Still, we are managing to win the game.
Shaheen Shah Afridi is a match-winner. His batting has improved, and he has been giving us some important runs down the order. He knows how to come out on top under pressure.
Abrar Ahmed has been outstanding. He is someone who is bringing us back into the games. He has been excellent, especially when we are playing here in the UAE.
We are ready for any challenge. We just need to play good cricket. If we manage to play good cricket, we can challenge any team in the world."

A long delay, some off the field drama, a gripping contest and an abrupt collapse later, Pakistan make it to the Super 4s. Meanwhile, UAE have been eliminated.
