Michael Bracewell (Player of the Match): "Incredible day today. Always great to finish the season on a high. Glad that we could do that.
Wicket played a lot better than what everyone expected. A great game of cricket. Credit goes to the ground staff for making the wicket so good. We have to remember that it was under cover because of rain.
The platform was set by the top order batters. They did really well and I am glad to get some runs. Yes there was some turn later on in the surface. Our bowlers have bowled really well."

Player of the Series: Ben Sears
Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan Captain): "[On the Positives] Important series for us. Good touch from Babar Azam getting a couple of fifties. Sufiyan Muqeem bowled very well. Last match Naseem Shah got the rhythm with the new ball.
We give credit to all the departments of New Zealand for playing well since last few months. The conditions from Asia are quite different but they played well even in Pakistan.
New ball bowling is important in New Zealand. We tried to focus on the youngsters. They will only get better.
[Positives from the series] If you lose you can't say anything. Our side we had some good performances personally. But credit to New Zealand.
[Tough outings in CT and the series] We will leave the past and look ahead to the PSL. Hopefully the nation will enjoy as we didn't give them the results."

Michael Bracewell (New Zealand Captain): "I think we added a few youngsters into the mix. They came from domestic cricket and did well. That's a pleasing thing to see the guys stepping up in the international arena and doing well. I think a few little things go unnoticed. You are obviously playing to win and winning the series is massively important. The young guys have done incredibly well.
Players did well in the T20I series and carried it forward to ODI. The unit led by Jacob Duffy and then O'Rourke stepped up, Sears stepped up. Great to see different guys putting their hands up to contribute and win the game for us. We have not had any guy scoring multiple hundreds but their performance was brilliant too. Bowlers have done very well.
