New Zealand vs Pakistan 5th T20: Who Said What

Michael Bracewell, NZ Captain

“The whole bowling unit has been outstanding. Jacob has stood up and has led the pack. The way we have been able to rotate the players. NZ cricket is in a great place. Few guys were missing. The consistency we showed was pleasing. The way we bounced back from Auckland was pleasing. We were clinical in the rest of the four games.”

Salman Ali Agha, Pakistan Captain

“They were outstanding. They outplayed us in the whole series. There were plenty of positives though. The way Hasan batted and Haris batted in Auckland. The way Sufiyan bowled today.

“When we were coming in here, the focus was on Asia Cup and the World Cup. I did alright. It doesn't matter when you lose the series. Completely different team in the ODIs. More experience. They have played in NZ before. It will be a different ball game.”

Tim Seifert, Player of the Series

“There was only one way to play. I wanted to play the way I wanted to play. The wickets were bouncy. Tonight, a few shots got me away. You look at the matchups. Finn helped. We have played together. He is a great mate. It is great fun with him. A couple of weeks with the family and then off to the PSL. Few of these players would be my mates there.”

James Neesham, Player of the Match

“You don't get too many wickets in franchise cricket. The opening bowlers helped us. Always a privilege to play for NZ. Always jump in to play for this side. Always keen for the opportunity. More than happy to see the guys at the top smack it around.”
