Saeem Ayub was given the man of the match award for his brilliant performance against Markhors, but Saeem gave his award to his teammate Mohammad Hasnain.
Saeem Ayub said that I think this award goes to Hasnain, the way he gave a great start by taking wickets with the new ball, he laid the foundation for the win, that was the reason why I got wickets too.
