Post the game, Nabi made a funny comment to praise his partner Christian, who was in the hospital Sunday morning owing to some sickness. Nabi said it was Christian in the hospital and an all-together different person who came out to bat. The 35-year-old cricketer seemed a bit rusty on the field and bowled just one over, but eventually bagged the player of the match for his efforts.
