“That was the key for us, we didn’t assess the conditions in the first T20I but did it well in the second T20I. It was a completely game last night.”
“We want to keep repeating the performances, we want to start the same way – picking wickets in the powerplay and scoring 50 with the bat. We have a couple of changes – Shaheen is back and Usman Tariq is making his debut,” concluded Salman Agha.
Meanwhile, Donovan Ferreira said, ” It is important to start well with the bat and set the tone. (on their plans) It is more based on the surface, we have plans in place and hopefully we can execute it tonight. We have a few changes.”
