Jason Mohammed: "Happy to be batting first, looks a good pitch. Boys are excited, we're looking forward to the challenge. Have told the guys to stay calm, take it one ball at a time and enjoy themselves."
Tamim Iqbal "We like to bowl first. The weather looks suited for that. Also we're playing after a long time. We want to see how the pitch is behaving. These are all World Super League games, so we need to get maximum points. Plenty of youngsters in the squad, need to give them maximum game time ahead of the big series."
Pitch report: "There is a bit of green tinge, so it will do a little bit early on. It's also overcast and lights are on. Captains would want to bowl first. It's a fresh pitch relatively. Should hold on nicely through the game. It's important for batsmen to apply themselves." reckons Athar Ali Khan.
Mustafizur to Ambris, out Lbw!! Mustafizur strikes early! Not always do you see him swinging the new ball, so this is perhaps a skill that he is nurturing. This fullish inswinger traps Ambris on the shuffle, raps him on the front pad and it looked dead plumb in real time. The only question was about whether it was pitching outside leg or not. Ambris went for the review but once it was pitching in line, he was a goner. Three Reds on ball tracking and WI lose an early wicket. Ambris lbw b Mustafizur 7(5) [6s-1]
Rubel to Ambris, SIX, smashed! Harmless half-tracker from Rubel, sits up nicely for Ambris who swivel-pulls over deep square leg. Shorter dimensions square and it clears the ropes easily.
