Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first. Speaking on the toss, Dasun Shanaka said, “Used wicket, so we would like to bat first. Three games have been played on this. We didn’t have dew in the last game, so I expect the pitch to stay the same throughout the game. Three changes, Viyaskanth is making his debut. Liyanage and Kamil Mishara are in as well.”
Meanwhile, Salman Agha said, “We actually wanted to bat first. Wanted to put an above-par score and try to restrict them. But it doesn’t matter now. We have played six games here. It’s usually a high-scoring venue.”
“One change, Shaheen is not playing unfortunately, and Wasim replaces him. It’a not been a typical Pindi pitch, so it’s hard to tell (a good total), but we will try to restrict them to as less as possible,” added Salman Agha.
