Hafeez is the Man of the Match “I really worked hard over the last couple of days and it worked for me. My batting form came back at the right time and I hope to carry it on.”
Afridi: “This is a great gift to give back to the nation on Pakistan Day. We tried to stick to our plans and the boys have done a great job doing that. Kamran and Hafeez did really well. Personally I just tried to maintain line and length.”
Sammy: “Definitely not enough runs on the board .. We didn’t counter the bowling well, and fell well short. We lost wickets in clusters in spin through the tournament, and today was no different.”
India were sent crashing out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2009 despite a seven-wicket win over West Indies here in Group A, Johannesburg, September 30, 2009 in day/night match.
“ 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
