Mohammed Rizwan was named the player of the match for his 131 in 121 balls with eight fours and three sixes.  Talking about this performance,  Rizwan said, " Always a proud moment for me whenever you perform for your country. I am speechless at this moment. It was difficult. The thing was that after the bowling innings we went back and everyone was confident."

"Unluckily, they got Babar Azam early but we got good partnerships after that. It's a good track, was supporting to us. I told Shafique to take it step by step. Sometimes cramps and sometimes I was okay (chuckles)," he further added.
