Coming to the match, an exciting match awaits the fans in the battle of the Pathans. Pakistan holds a comfortable 7-0 lead in all their ODI clashes against their neighbors. With 2 wins from 4 games, Babar Azam and co will be keen to put up a dominating show. The Men in Green were spotted in a friendly mood in their practice session.
All the players looked fresh and eager to go into their next battle. Special emphasis was showcased in the fielding and catching practice. On the other hand, Mohammad Rizwan was seen hammering some big shots as the dependable middle-order batter is desperate to continue his red-hot form.
“We have played 4 matches and we are 2-2. We are confident. We will accept that we did not play well in the last 2 matches. We will have to perform up to the mark. It matters a lot how you play on a given day. You can talk as much as you want. But it matters how you play on the day. We have talked about it. You will see a new team tomorrow in Chennai,” Imam ul Haq said in the Pre-match Press conference.
“Every game is a must-win game. This is a World Cup and every game is important. So, I don’t see the other matches just as important as this. There’s a bit of rivalry as well with this game. So, I guarantee you, my side is very, very excited and looking forward to hopefully pulling away a win,” said Afghanistan head coach Jonathan Trott at the pre-match press conference.
