Abdul Wahab: "Afghanistan shouldn't go after run rate, they should play normal cricket and win the game. Otherwise they might lose precious two points." -- Pretty sure they will not be thinking about NRR at this point

Scott Edwards: We'll bat first. It has worked well for us. The wicket looks decent. Hopefully put on the runs and defend it. We have made one change. That's something we've spoken about, our top-order needs to make more runs. We've got Barresi coming up to the top and Vikramjit is missing out. We are still fighting for the spot in the semi-final. We have to play a lot of good cricket.

We have to play a lot of good cricket. As a group, that (CT) is not something we are focusing on. That comes with potentially playing good cricket.

Scott Edwards: Netherlands will bat first. Says that they can hopefully put up a score and then defend it. Reckons their top order needs to score more runs and if they do that, they are confident of putting up big totals. One change for them - Vikramjit Singh misses out. Not sure who is replacing him yet, although Edwards did say that Barresi will move to the top of the order.
