Player of the match
Haris Rauf | Player of the match
Feeling well, specially tried to use the conditions and make the most of it. It’s a low-scoring game but as a bowling unit we had belief and the wicket demanded hard length bowling and that’s how I picked my wickets.
He (Shaheen) started really well and it gave me confidence before I came to bowling. When I’m bowling the focus is not on the speed and I just try to land it where I want it to land.
