That's all from this encounter, folks! Time to conclude our coverage as well. For now, this is Deepak Prakash signing off on behalf of co-commentator Saptak Sanyal and scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. CHEERS!
Rilee Rossouw (Quetta Gladiators Captain)- "I don't think that I did something special. We are doing well as a team. Yes, having 5 specialist bowler is a good option and it becomes better when the bowlers execute. They did a commendable job. I'm loving the moment, I'm loving competitiveness and I'm loving everything here as a captain. I am happy to get Shane Watson and sir Viv Richards in the dressing room."
Khawaja Nafay (Player of the Match): "My intention was clear to play the ball, not the bowler who is bowling, and win the match for my team. I was checking the scoreboard regularly and playing accordingly keeping everything in my mind. I didn't face any difficulties in facing pace and spin bowling and practiced a lot in the nets. Want to thank my coaches and mentors who helped me get here and this award is for them."
Player of the Match- Khawaja Nafay
Super Power of the Day: Saud Shakeel
Energetic Batter of the Match- Jahandad Khan

Time for the post-match presentation....
Shaheen Shah Afridi (Lahore Qalandars Captain)-"Overall team has performed bad today. I think we have to improve a lot in the fielding. We are giving away a lot of boundaries and dropping catches. Nafay is a terrific talent. He has played some good shots and he is looking very bright for Pakistan. He has to perform consistently well in the domestic to get a spot in the Pakistan side. See, missing Rashid Khan won't help, I have said this in the last game. We have to well in the field and that's the only way for us to do better."
Sarfaraz Ahmed- "Thanks to the almighty, we have got off to a good start. I just want to say that our team combination is very good. Shae Watson and Shaun Tait are doing well in the team management along with Rilee Rossouw. The story of Nafay that we play for same club in club cricket. He does a lot of hard work and he hs uploaded a lot of video in his Facebook and from that he got picked in the BPL. After that he came to Quetta Gladiators and he is yet to play first class cricket. His talent is in front of you."
