After defeating the visiting side, West Indies, Babar Azam, the winning captain looked happy with his team's performance on the field. Moreover, the right-handed batter shared a few words about the game in the post-match presentation.

"The wicket was double-paced early on. We wanted to build a partnership as we knew it'd be tough for new batters. Unfortunately, there was a run-out. Because of me we were 10-15 runs short. We saved him (Khushdil) for the end, because we all know what he can do in the slog overs.

I was confident that our spinners would bowl well. Nawaz was outstanding, he picked wickets at crucial moments," Babar Azam was quoted as same as in Cricbuzz.

Besides, Babar Azam was gifted free five runs after being penalized for wearing gloves on the field. As everyone knows, gloves shouldn't be worn by the fielder except the wicket-keeper on the field.
