Player of the Match
Naveen-ul-Haq | Afghanistan
Was a crucial game. Was a decider. Had to do it for the team. Was nice to get early breakthroughs for the team. The first over didn’t go well for us. I think every guy in the team has been playing for long in leagues and international cricket.
Talking to experienced players helps. Good way to prepare for the India series. Hopefully, being under pressure in this series will help us against India. We have some good T20 cricketers coming up.
