PAK vs CAN, T20 World Cup 2024 Match 21: Who Said What

Mohammad Rizwan | Man of the Match: "As a batsman, you have to adapt to any conditions. I was just trying to stay focused and play my game. The conditions were challenging, but I knew if I could anchor the innings, we could chase this target. Much needed win, we've to win the next match and then who knows?"

Babar Azam | Pakistan captain: "Good for us. We needed this win. Credit to the team. We started well and took wickets with the new ball. We had NRR on the back of the mind. The first six overs are very crucial here. You assess after 6 overs. Then we tried to take on the spinners. We are going to go with the same mindset. The conditions at Florida should be better from here as well. I got out to the same shot. So, I was angry. I still try my level best."

Saad Bin Zafar | Canada captain: "Was a bit disappointing. The wicket was difficult to bat on. The Pakistani bowlers bowled well. We were about 25-30 short. We needed to get some early wickets. We don't get to play high calibre teams. Johnson played well. Kirton's run-out was crucial. Lot of positives to take from this game."
