“We want to start well, if you don’t start well in the white-ball game, then you are chasing the game, and be more consistent. Shaheen is unwell, and Faheem misses out too. Abrar Ahmed and Wasim Jr come in,” added Agha.
Meanwhile, Charith Asalanka said, “It (the pitch) looks different from the other day. I would have bowled as well. We have to bat well today. Even though we lost the game, there were a lot of positives.”
“There are a few areas of concern, the last 15 overs with the ball and losing wickets in clusters. We have one change – Theekshana is out and Madushan comes in,” concluded Asalanka.
