PAK vs AUS 3rd T20I: Captain's Thoughts

Josh Inglis (Australia Captain): "We are going with the same team. The bowlers have been brilliant. We want to keep the momentum going. It's a pretty good wicket and early wicket is the key. We will see how it goes tonight."

Agha Salman (Pakistan Captain): "We are going to bat first. Very excited and looking forward to lead the team. Rizwan is missing out, we wanted to try out Haseebullah and Naseem is resting. Jahandad Khan makes his debut. We want to put a good total on the board and restrict them."
