Captain quotes from post match presentation
Kyle Coetzer, Scotland captain: I thought we really bowled well. Especially in the PP. When you know the kind of quality Pakistan has in the batting department, they will get hold of you. It is a huge occasion for associate nations. Going home, we hope we have inspired people back home. If you play hard enough, you can be a part of a competition like this. We have got some fantastic players in our group. Playing in these conditions was challenging for us. And then we will assess what would be the challenges when we play the WC in Australia.
Babar Azam, Pakistan captain:We are confident about each other's ability. We are playing as a unit and hence playing consistent cricket. We wanted to bat first. We couldn't play well in the PP. Hafeez played well and so did Malik. He used his experience and played well towards the end. We have been confident. We would want to continue with the same momentum. Dubai is one of the best stadiums. We love the fans over here and there as well. The way they come and cheer for us is amazing.
Player of the Match
Pakistan batter Shoaib Malik wins the Player of the Match award for his unbeaten knock of 54 from 18 deliveries.
Shoaib Malik: As we saw in the previous games if we don't lose wickets early then there's a chance of putting a good total in the end and that's been the talk in the dressing room, to get to 150 and not give any early wickets. If you're playing on a good track, then you take a couple of balls to get your eye in before you start attacking, but on these tracks, you might take 6-8 balls assess the conditions and then start playing your shots. Win is a big thing, you take a lot of confidence going deep into the tournament. For myself, I'm in good form and I want to be more consistent which can help the team, still fit and it's going to be a big game (Semis) and we are going to give our best shot.

Captain quotes from toss

Kyle Coetzer, Scotland captain: Two fantastic opponents, India and Pakistan, to test ourselves against in these conditions. We have to test ourselves against the best. We came in believing that we are capable of beating them, and that is how we are going out.Two changes. I am kind of getting used to losing the toss.
Toss
Pakistan captain Babar Azam wins the toss and opts to bat first.
Pakistan are in imperious form, having convincingly defeated their opponents, especially India, in Group 2 of the 'Super 12s' and it's unlikely the Babar Azam-led side is going to let its guard down as the tournament enters the business end
Scotland would be hoping for "one last show" and "one last crack of the whip" when they take on Pakistan in their last 'Super 12'
Squads:
Pakistan: Babar Azam (captain), Shadab Khan, Asif Ali, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Hafeez, Mohammad Nawaz, Mohammad Rizwan, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Shaheen Afridi, Fakhar Zaman, Haider Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Shoaib Malik.
Scotland: Kyle Coetzer (c), Richie Berrington, Dylan Budge, Matthew Cross, Josh Davey, Alasdair Evans, Chris Greaves, Michael Leask, Calum MacLeod, George Munsey, Safyaan Sharif, Hamza Tahir, Craig Wallace, Mark Watt, Bradley Wheal.
We fear no one at Twenty20 World Cup, says Pakistan's Hafeez
Veteran all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez says such is Pakistan's form at the Twenty20 World Cup they are brimming with confidence and have no preferences as to who they play in the semi-finals.
Pakistan have been unstoppable since their historic 10-wicket win over bitter rivals India at the beginning of the campaign.
The 2009 champions have gone on to beat a strong New Zealand side, Afghanistan and Namibia.
Pakistan will face the runners-up of Group 1, likely to be either Australia or South Africa who play their last group matches later on Saturday.
Scotland want to bow out with 'one last show', 'one last crack of the whip'
Scotland would be hoping for "one last show" and "one last crack of the whip" when they take on Pakistan in their last 'Super 12' Group 2 assignment at the ICC T20 World Cup here, knowing that the next opportunity to play together as a team could be months away.
With very few opportunities to play top-notch sides coming their way, Scotland captain, Kyle Coetzer -- who saw his side touch the highs of topping the qualification round and enter the 'Super 12' full of confidence -- would hope to make one last impact here before his players disperse.
