Shadab Khan | Islamabad United captain (translated from Urdu): Yes, absolutely. If you look at the lapses we made from the start, those small mistakes at the end of the day reduce your margin. So obviously, death bowling was a concern. Throughout the tournament, we didn’t bowl that well in the death overs, and today it was somewhat similar. I think we conceded 10-15 more. (what went wrong in the chase?) I think wickets fell at crucial moments. Especially speaking about myself, I feel I could have played better and carried the momentum. We were waiting for momentum, and whenever we got a bit of it, we lost wickets. At the end of the day, it’s also a mind game. In the last over, I think we could have read the game situation better and played accordingly. (thoughts on the season) It was a very good tournament overall. As we saw Sameer in batting, we already knew he was an exceptional talent, but the way he performed on the big stage under pressure was outstanding. I think everyone contributed. Chappie, we know how he likes playing in Pakistan. Also, our three spinners bowled really well in the middle overs. So overall, it was a good team performance. Obviously, it’s disappointing that we didn’t qualify for the final, but at the end of the day, the team that plays better wins.
