Here’s What Shadab Khan Said After The Match
Shadab Khan (Player of the Match and Islamabad United Captain):
“As a team we made some plans after the draft. See we brought Nawaz today as we assumed the pitch to be a bit different from the Karachi track. We assessed the conditions well. Azam and Sahibzada gave us a great start.”
“In this wicket, playing across was a bit different as it was keeping a bit low. The message for the batters was to play straight. Energy was always on the field. Our execution in both batting and bowling should be better. We have changed the playing XI stats wise or looking at the data. Hope we can keep the momentum going.”
