Captain Aiden Markram said after the victory
“It feels good to reach the final with a win. It is not only the captain who takes you here but the hard work of the entire team is huge. There are many people behind the scenes in this victory. It is fortunate to lose the toss (Aiden Markram on Toss Lose vs AFG), we would have batted first too. We played the ball brilliantly. Bowled in the right direction and kept it very easy. The bowlers did a great job for us. Batting was challenging. No batsman will lie and tell you that it was not easy. We got a bit of luck and then we made some partnerships. We have had some close matches. Glad to have a little more rest today.
