As for the game itself, Pakistan captain Babar Azam called the toss right and decided to bowl first against India. After winning the toss, Azam said that Haider Ali has been left out of the 12-man shortlist for the playing XI. “We will try to take early wickets and build pressure. Dew is also a reason. We have had good practice sessions and we are confident about our preparations. Pakistan bowlers are known to trouble other teams but I am also confident about my batting.
India captain Virat Kohli said: “We are quite happy to have set the target. We would have bowled first, but the toss is not in your control. We are very balanced with our team and you need to be prepared for that. We need to be as professional as possible. We need to focus on the processes. Everyone in the whole world watches it closely. We need to make sure we don’t get too emotional. The pitch looks very different. Rolled evenly and there is no grass which was the case during IPL. We expect the pitch to be good at all times and score well.”
