Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha said, \"We are going to bat first. It looks like a good pitch. We will try to put up an above-par score and then try to defend the total. Well, wherever you go, you have to adjust to the conditions. We have to do it very quickly. Because we came here two days ago. We are playing in Sri Lanka, and the conditions remain pretty much the same. We know what we are going to get here. Yeah, we have one change. Faheem Ashraf is missing out. Shaheen is coming in. Well, we have a very good spin attack. To be honest, we also have a very good fast bowling attack. In particular, if we need a fast bowler, one can add that, while if we need a spinner, I can add that as well. It is an added responsibility whenever you captain a team. I am excited at the same time. Right now, I am enjoying it. I am really looking forward to this game.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
England captain Harry Brook said, \u201cWe would have batted first as well. We love that as well. It\u2019s a fresh pitch, so hopefully it\u2019s going to be a little bit better and give us a good opportunity to chase in the second innings. The same team. Yeah, we\u2019ve got a lot of confidence. And as you said, we haven\u2019t had our perfect game yet. We\u2019re waiting for that, and hopefully it\u2019s just around the corner. Yeah, we\u2019ve obviously got a lot of data and footage. We\u2019ve managed to look at him quite a bit. But he\u2019s not the only one - we\u2019ve studied all their bowlers and batters. We\u2019re very well prepared, and hopefully we can have a good night. That\u2019d be lovely, wouldn\u2019t it? But you never know in T20 cricket. It\u2019s such a fickle game. We\u2019ve just got to go out there, try to play our best cricket, and stick to our processes as much as possible.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
