Captains Quote

Carlos Brathwaite: Doesn't matter whether we bat or bowl, we have to do it well. Just a matter of assessing the conditions quickly. We are professionals and it is a matter of adapting. Every game we play we want to win, we want to leave a legacy as the best T20 teams in the world. Of course we would miss Gayle and Russell but fortunately we have youngsters who could come in and they should look to take the opportunity. Nicholas Pooran makes his debut

Sarfraz Khan: We would look to bowl first. The dew factor could come in later and we would look to restrict them. We know these conditions pretty well. We are very excited and our morale is very high after beating England. Mohammed Amir is out and Mohammed Nawaz comes in for him. Umar Akmal comes into the side as well
