Everytime you win a match for your team it’s a good feeling. I was just looking at a lot of arms being raised in the dressing room (discussion with umpires before final ball). No idea. Maybe it was about retiring one of the guys. I don’t know. We said we were one boundary away from run a ball (in the final over), and if we can’t get that, we’ll run well. That over where Livi took charge and took 20 off one over, that changed momentum. When I went, I just wanted to run as hard as I can. I was trying to hit a six but wasn’t succeeding,” Raza said after the match.
Requiring 9 runs off the last over, Sikandar Raza kept his calm as the right-handed batter did good running in the middle. It all came down to the last ball with PBKS needing 3 to win. Raza played a ramp shot as the duo ran a triple to win the game for his side.
