UAE won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, Muhammad Waseem said, “Going to bowl first. Today the way the weather is, dew will play a role. Will try to restrict them to a low total. It’s a do or die game. We had a good game in Abu Dhabi. Different pitch and different game today. Jawadullah is out and Simranjeet is in.”
Meanwhile, Salman Agha said, “We wanted to bat first and put them under scoreboard pressure. Great day for us to play a perfect game. They’re a very good side. If we execute our plans for longer periods, we have a chance against any side. Two changes. Sufiyan and Faheem aren’t playing. Haris and Khushdil are in.”
