Shakib Al Hasan: “We wanted to field first, but it’s not in our control. If we can keep wickets in hand we can utilise the last 10 overs. [In the last game] we didn’t bat well. If we bat well and keep wickets in hand today, it’ll be a good game. To be honest, we haven’t talked about [the talk in the media] at all, we just want to focus on our performances.”
Dasun Shanaka: “Chasing in a big game will be more important. We’re going to [continue playing aggressively] like how we’ve played over the last few years.”
