Player of the Match goes to Glenn Phillips.
Glenn Phillips: "I think at the end of the day wasn't feeling too well. I just wanted to use my power and belt the ball. I wanted to show intent out there and showcase my skills and I am glad I could win the game for my team and help them win the series."
Player of the Series goes to Devon Conway.
Devon Conway: "Yeah, I think obviously the surfaces have been batting-friendly. I enjoyed batting here. I also got good support from my batting partners. The hundred is a special one for me. It wasn't that easy to get there. A bit challenging pitch was the previous one. Yeah, Kane and I spoke about batting in partnerships. We batted cautiously, ticking ones and twos. I loved my time here in Pakistan. The support we got here was amazing. Tonight, the crowds have been amazing."
Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain): "Definitely. The way we started and we executed our plans and got the wickets to get ahead. But Phillips took the game away from us and the bowling was not up to the mark in the last 15 overs. I think we were 20 runs short. When Fakhar and Rizwan were batting we thought 300 was needed. Some soft dismissals didn't help and we didn't do well in the last 10 overs.
Definitely, the way Fakhar and Rizwan played today. They were in control of the proceedings and when they were batting we were ahead. I thought in a few areas we fell short and lost the game. But loads of positives to take from this series."

Kane Williamson (New Zealand Captain): "Yeah, he (Phillips) wasn't feeling great either. He (Phillips) came out and played out of the skin. We made a few errors with the bat and threw away the good position we were in. Kudos to Phillips for getting us across the line. Pakistan have played well throughout the series.
Phillips plays that way. Glenn simply hit it out of the middle while playing the way he normally does. He was feeling a little under the weather, so I doubt he wanted to run very far. He simply grabbed the game. The playing field has been tough, perhaps in the middle or late two hundred. taking wickets in the middle and late innings to limit them to a total of par. Several good partnerships to advance the cause and Glenn are the only real unknowns. Our team thoroughly enjoyed our time in Pakistan, both on and off the field. We had a great time."

Kane Williamson will now go and collect the trophy from the signatories and he will take this to his teammates. They will pose in front of the winner's tag and deservingly so as they have played better than Pakistan. They deserve to celebrate tonight.
