Presentation Ceremony

And finally the Man of the Match - Imran Nazir says: "Thanks to my family which prayed for me. The coach has given me a lot of confidence to play my natural game. In cricket it doesn't matter if it is Kandy or Colombo."

Mohammad Hafeez says: "I think it's a great team effort. Boys have showed right attitude. Things were not working for Bangladesh. The way Nazir approached the target was great. Everything was working for him. There is a little bit of concern as far as fast bowling is concerned. Bangladesh bowled well, but Nazir was too good. When we chase, we try to get a good start. Nazir and Jamshed are doing really well."

Mushfiqur Rahim says: "The pressure was on us as we did not do well in the first game. Boys worked really hard. Shakib played a blinder. Pakistan batting and bowling was better. We can take some positives and go home and try and work out. We are not used to playing these kind of wickets. We will try to work on our game."
