Toss: Pakistan have won the toss and have opted to bat

Shaheen Afridi / Kuldeep Yadav as per your choice

Grand League Team 2 Added

पाकिस्तान ने टॉस जीतकर बल्लेबाजी करने का फैसला किया है।

Pitch Report:  

Ian Bishop and Sunil Gavaskar: "We are two pitches over from that game where India played Bangladesh. Overcast conditions - absolutely fine - about 31 degrees Celsius. Dimensions - 70m square either side, 81m down the ground. What we can expect is pretty similar to what we saw a couple of days ago. That time the pitch was on the slower side. The spinners kept it quiet in the middle overs. Whichever team that bowls well will be able to contain the batters. This is a pitch where it won't be easy to hit sixes. A score of about 270 should be a score you could defend."

पिच रिपोर्ट: 

इयान बिशप और सुनील गावस्कर:

"हम उस पिच से दो पिच दूर हैं, जहां भारत ने बांग्लादेश के खिलाफ खेला था। मौसम बादलों से ढका हुआ है, लेकिन स्थिति बिल्कुल ठीक है – तापमान लगभग 31 डिग्री सेल्सियस है। मैदान के आयामों की बात करें तो, दोनों तरफ़ स्क्वायर 70 मीटर और सीधा 81 मीटर लंबा है।

हम उम्मीद कर सकते हैं कि पिच का व्यवहार पहले जैसा ही रहेगा। पिछली बार यह पिच थोड़ी धीमी थी। बीच के ओवरों में स्पिनरों ने रन गति को नियंत्रित रखा था। जो भी टीम अच्छी गेंदबाजी करेगी, वह बल्लेबाज़ों को रोकने में सक्षम होगी। यह ऐसी पिच है जहां छक्के लगाना आसान नहीं होगा। लगभग 270 का स्कोर ऐसा होगा जिसे डिफेंड किया जा सकता है।

Rizwan: Will bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in.

रिज़वान: "हम पहले बल्लेबाजी करेंगे, पिच अच्छी लग रही है। हम एक अच्छा लक्ष्य खड़ा करना चाहते हैं। आईसीसी इवेंट्स में हर मैच महत्वपूर्ण होता है, इसलिए हम चीजों को सामान्य रखने की कोशिश करेंगे। हमारे खिलाड़ी इन परिस्थितियों से परिचित हैं, हमने यहां अच्छा प्रदर्शन किया है और आज भी अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देना चाहते हैं। पिछला मैच हम हार गए थे, लेकिन वह अब हमारे लिए बीती बात हो चुकी है। एक बदलाव - फखर बाहर, इमाम टीम में शामिल।"

Rohit: Doesn't really matter, they won the toss so we'll bowl first. Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team.

रोहित: "टॉस का ज्यादा फर्क नहीं पड़ता, उन्होंने जीता है तो हम पहले गेंदबाजी करेंगे। पिच पिछली बार जैसी ही लग रही है, थोड़ी धीमी है। हमारी बल्लेबाजी अनुभवी है, इसलिए हमें पता है कि अगर पिच धीमी होती है तो हमें क्या करना है। हमें टीम से हर क्षेत्र में अच्छा प्रदर्शन चाहिए – बल्ले और गेंद दोनों से। पिछला मैच हमारे लिए आसान नहीं था, लेकिन यह अच्छी बात है। आपको दबाव में खेलना और खुद को परखना जरूरी होता है। हम उसी टीम के साथ खेल रहे हैं।"
