Following the victory over Oman, Pakistan captain Salman Agha was elated, stating in a post-match interview, "We can beat anyone."

I am happy with the bowling unit - Salman Agha

After the match win, Salman Agha said that the batting needs more work. "The bowling was superb; I am happy with the bowling unit. We have three spinners, and they are all different, even Ayub. We have 4-5 good options, and you need them when playing in Dubai and Abu Dhabi."

We can beat any team: Salman Agha

We should have scored 180 runs given the start we got, but that's cricket. We are playing really good cricket; we won the triangular series and also won comfortably here. If we stick to our plans for a longer time, we can beat any team.

I am very proud of my players - Jatinder Singh

Meanwhile, Oman captain Jatinder Singh said, "I am very proud of my players for restricting them to under 160. They bowled well. They executed the plans we discussed." Regarding their batting, he commented, "We didn't rotate the strike, there was some nervousness, and our team is better than today's performance." Jatinder concluded with a message for his team: "Trust yourselves, play positive cricket, and don't look at who's bowling."
