So Multan are through to the final. Tomorrow we have the Eliminator. Do join us for that one. Until then it's goodbye and good night from all of us here. Take care.
Mohammad Rizwan | Multan captain (translated from Urdu): It's a very happy moment. But still we have one more game and all that effort so far matters in that game, so we will focus on that. If you look at the last year or before that, even the losing matches this season, the finishing touch was not there. We will ask the almighty that we will do well in the final. Any tournament you see, if the bowlers are at the top, then they mostly win. The positive for us is that even the batters are at the top but we can't be complacent and will have to continue to work hard. [on Yasir Khan] He was a capable batter earlier as well, but what I liked tonight was the way he got beaten first ball and then hit the next one for six, creating that momentum. It's a surprise that the crowd has not turned up in Karachi, it could be due to namaz, Ramzan or other things but hopefully they come down for the upcoming games.
Usama Mir | Player of the Match (translated from Urdu): I'm happy my team won. The way Rizi bhai and the management gives me confidence, saying you are the main spinner helps me. If you bowl in the right areas, a leggie will be successful on any track and I try to focus on hitting the right areas, it worked tonight. The way Willey gives us the start up top makes it easier for me in the middle and the way CJ bowls at the death, as well as Mohammad Ali and Abbas Afridi, it's a well-rounded bowling unit.
Babar Azam | Peshawar captain: We were 15 runs short. We started well but we lost wickets in the middle overs. Me and Tom decided that 160-170 was a par score but we did not finish well in the last 5 overs. Whoever comes we will try to win and go to the final. We have to work on a couple of things on our batting and bowling ahead of the next game. It was tough conditions and they bowled well, I backed myself and built my innings. Had I stayed there, maybe things might have been different. Just believe in yourself and as a bunch of players we are confident and we will come back strongly.
Yasir Khan | Translated from Urdu: Thankful to the team management for trusting in me. I am happy to have performed in this game and contribute to the win. Hopefully we will win the final. I gained a lot of confidence from National T20 Cup (domestic tournament), I scored a 100 too there. I spoke to Babar last night, he told me how to build an innings and to rotate the strike which really helped tonight. If you come to our team hotel, the way Rizwan and management treats us is special. Everyone's the same, there's no senior or junior. Rizwan keeps everyone together in the team.
00:18 Local Time, 19:18 GMT, 00:48 IST: Multan are a winning machine and they get the job done easily.
