"We'll try our best to finish on a high by winning tomorrow's match"
"Both teams look strong so hopefully we'll do well"
"316 runs is a big margin, which you can only make up if you bat first and score 500-600, I don't know what is the reason behind this but I can't do anything"
"We came here to win all the matches"
"We'll try our best to qualify but we need to be realistic. If you need to make 600 runs, or if you make 400, it's not easy to dismiss the other team for 50. We have to make 500-550 and win by 316 runs. If we're realistic, we'll try to win the match and finish on a high note. If Allah has written something for us then something may happen, the other team can get out and we will obviously try to make 500 runs. But the tournament has seen scores of 280-300 mostly"
"We haven't seen the pitch, we will play our best possible team"
"There is disappointment because we made a comeback, now it's not in our hands. We were expecting that maybe the margins could be smaller but when we saw the figures then we were disappointed. But the boys are still motivated and will go into the ground with good preparation"
"If you look at the pitches for the recent matches, it wasn't easy to play open cricket, the ball was turning and gripping so it wasn't easy. What's happened has happened but we will put our full effort tomorrow"
"You can say that we were unlucky. In the West Indies match we didn't turn up and got out for very few runs which impacted our NRR"
"I think things have improved quite a bit, we have beaten good teams, two semi-finalists. In the beginning we weren't playing good cricket, but the way we came back, I don't think any other team did that"
"The most important match was the Australia match where our position was good, if we had won that our position could have been better. That match was the turning point, things were in our hands till then"
"In the beginning you can say that the batsmen didn't make big runs. Overall as a batting unit we didn't make big runs but everyone contributed and played their part. Hafeez bhai unluckily got out to part-timers, he tried but I think towards the end the batsmen contributed. We should have made more centuries from the top order"
"After the World Cup there's a 2-2.5 month gap, PCB will look into how to make things better and the managers and coaches will give their reports, PCB will do whatever is best for Pakistan cricket"
"PCB will decide about captaincy and coaches, my wish will remain in my heart"
"My performances have been so and so, I didn't perform extraordinarily. I tried to contribute wherever my team needed me"
"All the boys tried to perform for Pakistan, sometimes you try but you can't perform. Overall as a team we performed well. Fakhar made runs but he couldn't play big innings. He did give us good starts like in the SA match where we needed a partnership, he contributed against England also. Hasan Ali is a great team player and gives his effort, performance is a matter of luck but your effort should show. Both Fakhar and Hasan showed a lot of effort"
"Babar Azam performed well in his first World Cup, the way he responded was brilliant. Shaheen Shah Afridi performed well, Amir bowled really well, Wahab Riaz made a good comeback and Shadab bowled well. The boys put in some good performances which will be good for Pakistan in the near future"
