2nd Match, Group A, Asia Cup Highlights
Anshuman Rath: Saw the game yesterday and the pitch seemed to stay true. We’re ready, we deserve to be here, especially on the back of losing ODI status in March. We’ve beaten top teams before, hope we could do it again. After the Qualifiers, a lot of our players have confidence.
Sarfraz Ahmed: We wanted to bat. But we’ll try to restrict them and chase the target. Hong Kong has qualified for this event, so congrats to them. We won’t take them lightly. It’s a long tournament and we’re not thinking too far ahead. Going with four pacers today.
Hong Kong have won the toss and will bat first.
