Man of the Match
Kieron Pollard
It was a challenging one. We came from Rawalpindi, it was a matter of understanding the conditions and a matter of planning. Cancelled practice yesterday. None of us played cricket for the last 3 days and sometimes cricket is played in the mind. Lahore got over us the last 2 times, yes they have a very good bowling attack but when you try to get on top of them, they tend to crack. Tim and I looked to keep our base and build a partnership. Pitches are a little bit different here than what we have seen, we will sit down and plan. Other teams would love to be in our position, just enjoy the final and see what happens.

Post Match Presentation
Lahore Team Captain Shaheen Shah Afridi
We wanted to win the toss and bowl, but we did not expect such a score. We lost wickets quickly and we will look into what went wrong and prepare for the next game as we still have a chance. When the main batters get out early, there is pressure on the later batters. A good catch or a run-out can win you a game and we will work on that. It is Qudrat ka Nizam, the wind started to blow, and Cottrell got the ball to swing. This is Qudrat ka Nizam.
Multan Team Captain Mohammad Rizwan
Early on the balls were coming on with the new ball. After that the pitch felt difficult. At the end Pollard and Tim David finished and we got a score on the board. We were counting as well, I told Usman that it was a double-paced pitch, we were looking for 170 but Rashid is a world-class bowler, he pulled things back and then we would have settled for 145-150 but Pollard and David got us to 160.
