Hashmatullah Shahidi: If we'd have won the toss, we'd have bowled. We played some quality cricket against SA in Sharjah. We have quality spinners

Again Bavuma is back as captain.

Shahidi: We would have won the toss we would have batted first but the toss is not in our hands and we have to play good cricket. We played some quality cricket against them in Sharjah and we have quality spinners.Hopefully, we do well and can beat them. I will be more happy if we start well and take some wickets in the powerplay and give some momentum to our bowlers in the middle overs
