Hafeez:
We all know that anything can happen in T20s. The boys responded really well. Ajmal and Gul bowled really well today after the batsmen put up a good total. I wanted to bat on this track and we wanted to get a total of 140 plus. I was sure that we could defend 140+ with our bowlers. Gul is coming back to form which is a great thing for Pakistan. The boys are responding well under pressure
George Bailey:
Good game of cricket, we had our opportunities. I think our bowling was good. Overall, we did well. Nice to get couple out of the middle. We will be raring to go for game three.
Saeed Ajmal:
I had an injury which is why Gul bowled the super over. We did well today.
Saeed Ajmal is the Man of the Match
