Pitch Report | Deep Dasgupta and Nick Knight: "Square boundaries - 65 metres and 68 metres, straight boundary - 76 metres. Nice tinge of green grass, it'll do a little bit for the quicker bowlers with the new ball. After that, it'll slide on quite nicely. The quicker bowlers have had problems here. The spinners have been flourishing on this surface. Not a lot (for the spinners). When you look at the Afghanistan spinners, you don't focus on what's gonna happen here (on the pitch), you focus on what's happening as the ball comes down. They bowl quick, so as a batter the decision making time is less. They rush you a little bit. I don't think there's going to be any dew. There wasn't last night, I don't think there will be today."

Rohit Sharma - We will bowl first. No particular reason, the pitch is good and it doesn't change a lot here. A lot to gain from the 3 games, we haven't had too much T20 cricket leading to the World Cup, there's IPL, but this is an international game and we'll try to achieve a few things. I had a chat with Rahul bhai regarding the combination going forward and what we need to do as a group. That's what we'll try to do, but winning is the most important thing. Sanju Samson, Avesh, Yashasvi (who didn't pull off well) and Kuldeep miss out.

Ibrahim Zadran - We wanted to bowl first as well, but it's not a big problem, we'll try and execute our plans. This is massive opportunity to get experience ahead of the T20 World Cup. We'll try and play some positive cricket. Noor Ahamad, Sharafuddin, Saleem Saifi aren't playing, forgot the rest of the guys.
