Peshawar Zalmi vs Islamabad Uniteds , PSL 2024 Eliminator 2: Who Said What

Shadab Khan, Islamabad captain: "We haven't played a perfect game but still we're into the final. One perfect game is remaining. The belief was there. Doesn't matter what the situation was, the belief was there. He was under pressure when he dropped a catch (why he didn't bowl Hunain). So I don't want to expose him. As a player when you miss chances, it doesn't go your way. We had seven options so we covered him up.

"These matches come down to attitude. Stay calm in pressure situations and if attitude is there, it'll go your way. He has done so much hardwork (Haider Ali). I'm happy for him. I've seen his potential when I was Northern captain. He played for Rawalpindi as well. Initially we didn't pick him.

"Before PSL, in press conference also they asked me who'll be match-winner and I said Haider Ali. I knew he was in good touch based on how he was playing in practice matches and in the nets. Very happy for him. Very nice bloke. Hasn't performed that well last few years, everyone criticised him. So I'm very happy for him. He's a matchwinner. You need to give them the love and respect they need.

Imad Wasim, POTM: "Today's wicket was better than before. The quicker you bowled, the better it was coming on. We thought it's a 190-200 wicket, we thought we did well. Last 4-5 overs we bowled well. They bowled really well early on. The wicket was so good. Just wanted to play ball by ball. The innings Haider played was just exceptional.

"I thought if I played 20 overs, we'll be with a good chance. Mostly credit goes to Haider. Momentum is with our side, but Multan is a very good team. We have a day tomorrow, will rest well. Do a lot of icing and massages. Anything can happen in the final."

Babar Azam, Peshawar captain: "After 10 overs we were in a good position. But after that the bowling was very bad. Conditions remained the same. We just didn't execute the plans. Credit to Imad and Haider the way he's playing. First 10 overs we were ahead, and then it was ordinary bowling. Thanks to the fans."
