Sikandar Raza(Army vs Bulawayo Brav): "We all know that Kaia can go to the last ball anyway. Taskin had a bad over but for him to come back in the second over and execute that plan really well, credit to him for executing that and having that faith. We have faith in one another. Our team environment is pretty good. We all back each other. Whether we win or lose. We're going to back one another and enjoy each other's company and success and today show the character of the team to win it from there, keeping the dream alive because it is a really good team. Unfortunately, some results haven't gone your way. "
