Zalmi hand Lahore fifth straight defeat

Mohammad Hafeez: The boys were really keen to win this game. We have some issues with injuries, like our captain not being there, so this was quite an important win for us. We have watched Lahore's matches and we knew that we needed to keep the pressure up. They are quite one-dimensional and we knew it was a matter of only one wicket. Whatever the job was given to the players, they stepped up and did really well. We wanted to hit all the right areas and we are good enough to go into the next round.
Brendon McCullum: A tough day in the office again. We've definitely taken a stride back, but we have a few days off and some tough calls need to be taken. We've lost 35 wickets for 105 runs and with stats like these we are never going to win. We have to eradicate our thought process of 'there it goes again'. But we are still in this competition and are optimistic about our chances.
