Live Report – Canada vs Pakistan – Rizwan, Babar keep Pakistan on course

The Pakistan fans have been coming in for this all-important clash. Babar Azam has the coin. He wins the toss and Pakistan will be bowling first. One change for them and it is a crucial one. Saim Ayub comes in and Iftikhar Ahmed has been dropped. The other bit Babar confirmed was that Ayub would be opening the batting. So RizBar has been split. Babar Azam notes the morning start and a “bit of grass” on the pitch. “We had a discussion yesterday,” he says reflecting on the India loss. “In T20 you have to look at every game. We have no other option. I know a few of the [Canada] bowlers, we have played together”.

Canada captain Saad Bin Zafar says, “I would have bowled first as well. Historically, teams batting second have found it hard to chase”. He also confirms there is one change with Dilpreet Bajwa going out and Ravinderpal Singh coming in.
