Sarfaraz says he wanted to bat first too. They aren’t worried about the conditions and wanted to set a target. “Good to see Amir back in form, as well as Wahab Riaz,” he says. “The fielding is a concern but we’re working hard and hopefully we’ll do well as a fielding unit today.” Pakistan, too, are unchanged.
They are unchanged for the fifth game in a row. “You turn up and know you’ll have a tough game, as Pakistan are a very tough side. For us, it’s trying to build on those performances and keep improving,” Williamson says. He says he expects the Kiwi fans to be vastly outweighed by Pakistan supporters, but he doesn’t mind.
