| Afridi: Records will keep coming if we play as well as we did tonight. They started well but I had confidence in my team and everyone contributed to the win. I wish to thank the crowd for coming out in large numbers and supporting us. |

| McCullum: We fought really hard, but all credit to Pakistan to snatch it away from us. I am proud of the effort the guys put up. 150 was a par score, we almost got there but we lost wickets at regular intervals. To win the ODI series was something significant so we have a lot of positives to take back with us. |
