Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi who could probably be playing his last international game for Pakistan said: “Batting first is a good idea. Today it doesn’t matter who wins the toss, it is important to win the game. We have to play good cricket and not worry about the India-Australia game. Irfan is resting and Wahab Riaz comes back. I haven’t taken a decision. I will take the decision in front of my nation [referring to his retirement].”
Australian skipper Steve Smith after winning the toss said: “It looks a pretty good wicket, day and pretty hot. Hopefully, we put the runs on the board. We have improved little bit, need to be playing at our best as we head towards the business end of the tournament. Two important games coming up. We have two changes, Finch comes in for Mitch Marsh and Hazlewood replaces Hastings.”
Australia have won the toss and opted to bat first against Pakistan in the World T20 2016 match.
Wasim Akram in the pitch report segment said, “There is a bit of grass, but it is only here to bind the pitch together. Overall, it is a good pitch and will have good carry. The ball will come on to the bat. You are not going to get a better pitch in India at this time than this one. A bowler should bowl short of a length and try to hit the stumps,”
