| Mohammad Hafeez pulls during his 89 |
Mohammad Hafeez has been given the Man of the Match award, I thought it'll be Gul. But anyway, that's what the jury has decided. He made 89 and picked up two wickets.
Hafeez: "I
was not having a great time in the last series, very happy with this. I
worked with my batting coach, I was just thinking of spending more time
at the crease. Jamshed really took the pressure off me earlier on, we
gave a good start."
Mushfiqur:
"We were really close, I thought we came back well in our bowling. Our
batsmen did a good job at the start, the most important was Nasir's
wicket at the end. We just couldn't finish well. We are not winning most
of the times after getting into such situations."
Misbah:
"it was tough, we should have got 300. Again, we just messed it up. The
guys are not learning from their mistakes. The pitch was absolutely
perfect for batting, no spin, nothing for the fast bowlers but again the
bowlers did good for us. We just have to lift our performances, we need
to be more positive and we can't just repeat these mistakes. The
bowlers are winning games for us for the last year and a half, but we
need to support them."
