Pakistan’s allrounder Mohammed Hafeez expressed his joy over winning the “Man of the Match” award for the first time over his record performance in the second Twenty20 International against West Indies on Saturday.
The record spell by Hafeez helped Pakistan surmount the late batting juggernaut of the hosts from Nicholas Pooran. Hafeez pulled off throwing one of the most economical spells in the history of T20 internationals.
“It’s my first Man of the Match award as a bowler. I will always remember it,” said the 40-year-old cricketer after handing the victory to his side in the second faceoff of the four-match T2OI series in Guyana.
“The win accorded the team with a boost to their morale.” He also hoped that the green shirts will seal a victory in today’s [Sunday’s] match to win the series.
Hafeez also showered accolades on his fellow bowlers. “Shadab bowled really well, and Shaheen’s last over, he nailed his yorkers,” he said.
