Mehidy Hasan Miraz said, “Yes, we love to bat first as well. It’s a new day, the players need to understand their role and I hope everybody does better. We have two fast bowlers, three spinners and seven batters.”
Shai Hope added, “We are gonna bowl first, unfamiliar conditions so we will let the bowlers take the first strike. Very quick turnaround, it’s been hectic in the last two months, we need to adapt quickly and make sure we give our best. It’s more of a continuation for us, we last time played against Pakistan and defeated them. We have three seam bowling options and three spin bowling options.”
