Misbah said "The situation we were in, while batting, the kind of start we had and at one stage, the way that (Brendan) Taylor and (Sean) Williams were going, it's really pleasing that we could just manage to win the game."
The Pakistani Skipper also had a word of praise for Shahid Afridi who turned thirty five today. Misbah Said " At the end, Shahid Afridi, the four last overs were very crucial, especially the 47th, a maiden, that was the key.
