Shadab Khan (Islamabad United captain): "(Where did the game go wrong?) I think in the first six overs, we did not do well in those areas where we had been doing well till this match. We lost the momentum as a batting unit in the first six overs. It is a kind of day which you want to forget quickly because we have another game coming up in less than 24 hours or so. Obviously we want to forget it soon."
Player of the Match: Mohammad Rizwan
Mohammad Rizwan (POTM and RawalPindiZ captain): "(His thoughts on the win?) First of all I want to say that this win is for the fan of RawalPindiZ. We used to get messages from owners saying that give your best for the fans and yeah really happy to get that first win. Credit actually goes to the bowlers. The wicket was not that difficult but the way Amir Bhai and Asif Afridi bowled helped us a lot. The plan was to give less runs in the powerplay and restrict them to a low total."
