Talking to media on arrival here along with nine other players to play the PSL final on Sunday, Sarfraz said he is happy to see the passion in the country for PSL. To a query, he said the foreign players departure from squad for the final will impact the performance of team but "We would try our level best to win the final."

Sarfraz hailed last-over hero Mohammad Nawaz and man-of-the-match Ahmad Shahzad for their superb performances that once again saw Quetta become the first team to reach to the Pakistan Super League (PSL) final.
