Sadaqat watched the wickets tumble from the other end but remained calm and composed. He held his nerve brilliantly and went on to score a memorable century, keeping Jamaica's hopes alive. The flamboyant opener added some crucial runs in the middle overs and towards the end, helping Jamaica recover from the collapse and remain in the contest.
Alzarri Joseph delivered a crucial spell, picking up two important wickets while also keeping the runs in check. This match is finely poised, and this final could go right down to the wire. Back in a while for the run chase..
Maaz Sadaqat (Translated from Urdu): Most importantly, the management supported me and gave me a free hand to play my natural game. That is the way I naturally play, so I followed it and the result is in front of you. [Watching wickets falling] At that time, a person does feel some pressure, but I believed in myself that I could do it. I followed my natural game and I succeeded. [On the conditions and overall environment] The environment and everything else have been very good because this is my first time playing in the CPL. It’s a very good environment. The wicket was quite difficult at the beginning, but in the last two matches we’ve had very good wickets, and I’ve really enjoyed it.
Saim Ayub: [On Sadaqat's ton] Well, I think it’s the best a batsman can want and a team can want from a player. So yeah, it’s the best week. Like what we can say, it’s like priceless.
