Captain's Quotes

Babar Azam (Pakistan Captain): "We want to bowl first. It's an early morning start. We have made one change. Saim Ayub comes in for Iftikhar Ahmed. He (Ayub) will open."

Saad Bin Zafar (Canada Captain): "I would have bowled first as well. It looks like a good wicket, but historically, we have seen that teams batting second have found it hard to chase. So if we can put a good total on the board, we back ourselves to defend it. "
