Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We will bowl first. It is a decent pitch, and we want to chase. The pitch is on the drier side, and spinners will come into play. I am happy with our performance so far and want to continue with the momentum. We have to do our basics right in the shortest format,” Charith Asalanka said.

Hong Kong captain Yasim Murtaza is pleased with the way his team has performed in their previous two games in the Continental Cup.

“We did well in the last game, and we want to repeat the same performance. We talk about winning in the dressing room, but work ethics are important as well. If we do work ethics right, everything will fall in place. We are satisfied with our performances in the previous two games,” he said.
