Speaking after the game, player of the match Hassan Nawaz said, “The way I got out in first two matches, I was very disheartened, but captain and Shadab supported me, told me I am a match winning player and that helped me. I just had in my mind that I need to score a single first in international cricket and then after that I felt relaxed and the pressure was released. I had so much backing and I am so grateful to my captain.”
He broke Babar Azam’s record and and now is the first-ever Pakistan player to score a T20I in less than 45 balls.
