Shaheen Shah Afridi | Lahore captain: In big games there will be pressure. If the toss doesn’t go our way it is even harder, and we spoke about we have to do well regardless of batting or bowling first. The balls on a hard length at the end was gripping when we bowled first. We have the team to get these runs, credit to Tahir for the way he batted. I am trying my best to give to the team always in batting, bowling and fielding. I want to come out to bat when the situation demands. Lahore’s crowd always supported us and tomorrow is a big day, hopefully we will play well and hopefully we will win.
Tahir Baig | Player of the Match: They had trust on me – Shaheen bhai gave me the confidence. I was backing my ability and I give credit to the team and especially Shaheen bhai for the trust. After Fakhar bhai got out, Ahsan Bhatti gave the momentum and Abdullah came out and told me to back myself. If there were wickets in hand, the runs could be chased down and I wanted to play 30-35 balls.

Sikandar Raza: This is my first PSL and it is a massive achievement. We are the defending champions and it gives us a chance to win it again. The message from the start was to reach the final. Our focus was on the start and if we get that then the middle overs will take care of itself. Billings and Tahir had a good partnership and set up the platform for the chase. We all looked after ourselves after the Qualifier and everybody was fit. Shaheen allows us to speak and he tells the senior guys like myself, Billings and Wiese to speak, even when the opposition were 100 in 11 overs we were not worried.
