Mohammad Aamer is the Man of the Match for his fighting effort
Aamer: “I tried hard for my team. I would have been happier had we won this game. I was just telling Ajmal to just pinch singles, but we are sad to be on the losing side. We tried our best to win this.”
Brendon McCullum is the Man of the Series.
McCullum: “It was nice to have played a central role in the team’s success. I was trying to get another start and make a sizable total. I had missed out on some big scores and was under pressure coming into this series. The last 30-40 runs, we felt the game was slipping away from us. They put in a great effort.”
Younis: “We couldn’t do it in the end. There were no big innings from the top of the order, and we couldn’t build too many partnerships. But to see Aamer and Ajmal, the youngsters, play so well was great.”
Vettori: “We would have liked to finish it off a lot earlier. Ajmal and Aamer showed a lot of determination. But in the end, to defend 212 is an amazing effort. We made some incremental improvements, we put in some great fielding performances. McCullum played well, and was supported well by Redmond and Guptill. Wickets were most important and we wanted out bowlers to lead from the front. There is a lot of pressure on us to come away and win a series, and this win shows we are a quality side. “
