Here's What Both Captains Said During Post-Match Presentation Ceremony
Agha Salman (Pakistan Captain):
"I think in the middle overs we didn't capitalize the start. We kept losing wickets. Lots of positives, the way Irfan Niazi and Usman batted. The way Jahandad bowled today were positives and we will carry forward and come out good."
"Its a big achievement for us to win one-day series in 22 years. We could have done in T20 series as well but we will work on whatever we did wrong and come out good again. Wherever we have gone the crowd's support has been amazing. We are very thankful to them."
Josh Inglis (Australia Captain):
"Yeah, it's been a great week. We had a lot of fun as a group and happy to get that series win. (On Marcus Stoinis) When he's going like that, it's really hard to stop him. That six, I haven't seen any bigger hit than that one. Yeah I am. A flight tomorrow and get back in the nets to face the red cherry."
