Babar Azam (Peshawar Zalmi skipper): Our side fell short by a few runs. His dismissal came at a crucial time when the momentum was building.

David Warner (Karachi Kings captain): "I'm very happy for a hard-fought win. Our team played well, especially in the powerplay. Khushdil Shah made a crucial part for us. The pitch was challenging, with variable bounce. Restricting the opposition to under 150 was crucial. Abbas Afridi and Hasan Ali concealed our win. I'm pleased about our performance."
