Fawad Ahmed is the Man of the Match. "Pretty happy, a good start to 2020 both for myself and the team," he says. "It's a team game, I know one bowler or one batsman can also win a T20 but hopefully we can get together like this as a team, two-three bowlers or two-three batsmen performing together."
