“I thought we let the momentum slip after the first few overs. I thought I got away to a decent start but hit one straight to the fielder. I’m sure we will bounce back tomorrow.” McCullum

“There was pressure, after losing the last two ODIs. I thought the guys did a great job. I thought our score was enough. I’m very happy with the support we’ve got.” Afridi

Imran Nazir named Man of the Match

” The partnership between Guptill and McCullum was key. The fielding can make such a difference to how the bowlers feel. It was fantastic how McCullum played.” Vettori

“McCullum and Guptill had a good partnership. We lost couple of quick wickets. First Afridi and then Kamran .. and then we collapsed. They were  fantastic in the field and we have to improve our fielding.” Younis

“I got a start and it was a pretty good surface. It’s amazing turn around for us. We have two quality teams here; if one teams plays good quality cricket as we did today and as Pakistan did the other day, the margin can be like this.” McCullum

“The guys played very well. Guys like Khalid Latif, Kamran Akmal and Razzaq. Younis gave me good confidence; he just told me to go and bat without any worries.” Afridi

“ It started well for us but we lost the momentum. Afridi came in late and then Akmal turned the momentum. we couldn’t get a partnership going. Now we have seen what the pitch is like,  hopefully we can get it right for the next two games.” Vettori

“ It was a good effort from Khalid Latif,  Afridi’s innings was the turning point. He was fantastic. Then Kamran Akmal played a fantastic innings. (On his own form) It’s not always possible to score runs, hopefully I will come back.” Younis

“I am very pleased to get this award, Thanks to the PCB and ICC, as well as my friends and family and of course my wife, who I have to leave for long periods of time. Normally I am quite calm and so the pressure is not big for me. It is important to stay cool and if you make a mistake you can’t let it get to you. You have to concentrate all the time.” Pakistan’s Aleem Dar

“When I started my batting, I just kept one thing at the mind; to stay at the wicket. It wasnt’ easy wicket as the ball was not coming to the bat. Yousuf bhai came and told me to stay at the wicket. Don;t worry about the target. he is a very experienced player. When we were about 200, there we decided that 300 is possibilitly. We succeeded. ” said man of the match Shoaib Malik.

“I have never seen so many runs scored of cut. i felt i was 3 or 4 bowlers short, Nehra bowled well. Two big games coming up. From now on, its like a knock out for us. If we don’t play well, we can pack up and go back home. Till Raina was batting I thought it was pretty gettable. He got a tough one and after that it became difficult. Two run outs; doesn’t help you when you are chasing. During bowling, we gave too many runs.” Dhoni

” The boys were very keen … Ajmal has performed every game and Afridi, in the last couple of years, has been fantastic with his all round performances. We are still hungry. If we can defeat Australia in the next game, it would be nice.It was a professional performance. We had a good start. Fantastic knocks from Yousuf and Malik. I thought we would reach 320 in the end but we didn’t hit too many runs in the last Powerplay.”  Younis Khan

“ I would like to congratulate Miller, Tonge bowled well, and our bowling and fielding as a unit was very good.” said Floyd Reifer

“I think the guys bowled very well, they showed great maturity … I just told Umar just play positive, don’t bother about the wicket. I love bravehearts, and that’s why I like him. The opening batting and the fielding are areas where we need to improve.” Shahid Afridi

“I didn’t feel any pressure, I just maintained a positive attitude, as the seniors in the team advised.” said Umar Akmal Man of the Match

Pakistan emerged on the world map as an independent sovereign state in August 1947, as a result of the division of the British Indian Empire. With a land area of 796,095 sq. km. [including FATA (Federal Administered Tribal Areas) and FANA (Federal Administered Northern Areas)], its population stands at nearly 130.60 million, according to the 1998 Census. Historically, this is one of the most ancient lands known to man. Its cities flourished before Babylon was built; its people practiced the art of good living and citizenship before the celebrated ancient Greeks.
