There was a good amount of turn in the field: Sajid Khan
Sajid Khan said at the post-match presentation, “Credit to Aaqib Javed bhai and the management. Man of the match should be Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel for the knocks in the first innings and also Shan Masood in the second. There was a good amount of turn in the pitch. I spoke to our bowling coach after the first innings – we conceded runs later in the spell. We slowed it down even more in the second half and he controlled the runs better.”
