Angelo Mathews: Bit of a see-saw game. Credit to Pakistan. They held their nerves. It was bit of a funny wicket. Was stopping a bit. We thought we could bowl well and restrict them. Unfortunately we dropped a few catches. Proud of the guys, of the bowlers. The tournament was quite good. Even in the first game , we had our chance. In a big tournament like this, the boys held it well.
Sarfraz Ahmed: I can't believe it. Unbelievable feeling. Thanks to Amir, he played really well. I told him to play his game and not to worry about the scoreboard. Even if we go 3-4 runs per over, if we go close to 30 runs, we will win. I think it was a tough chase. Amir was playing confidently, but I was feeling the pressure. It (drop catches) is part of the game
Sarfraz Ahmed is the Man of the Match
Pakistan beat Sri Lanka by 3 wickets and they go through to the semis
