Player of the Match
Fakhar Zaman | Desert Vipers
I think the fast bowlers were easy, but we were struggling against spinners. We just planned to play out their overs and take the game deep. It was just because of the way the bowler was bowling, the leg-side boundary was big, so I was looking for runs on the shorter boundary.
It was very good, he’s such a talented player (on Sam Curran), made things easy for me. Even though I was settled, credit goes to the way he’s been playing in this tournament, it was amazing. The team and the management enjoy our cricket, not too worried about the results, just want to play some good cricket.
