Shadab Khan: When you win, you are happy. We have a young team, I am so happy with their attitude, especially the way they fielded. I just told them (the batters) to play freely. Gurbaz is playing his first game here and I just asked him to enjoy his game and spend some time out in the middle.

Wahab Riaz: Some pain in the ribs, I fell down badly, hope I recover soon. My foot got stuck and I fell down. It was a very good total on the board. We should have used more slower ones. It was a very good score to defend.

Paul Stirling | Player of the Match: The pitch is getting better and better. It was about assessing it quickly. (The plan) Go out there, watch the ball and hit it. Hales has been batting well for the last few months.

17:54 Local Time, 12:54 GMT, 18:24 IST: Given the kind of recovery the Zalmi had with the bat, it looked like they'd ride the momentum to make something out of this 169-run target. Alas, Islamabad's opening partnership sealed the deal. Both Hales and Stirling went berserk, and even after the latter was run-out, Gurbaz came in swinging and made sure the momentum never dipped. Not only is this a massive nine-wicket win in their tournament opener for United, but it's been a day when everything has gone right for them. All said and done, it was their bowling that set this up, breaking the back of the Peshawar batting in the first half on what essentially was a very flat wicket. Here come the presentations ..
