The way we bowled in the last match was a little bit disappointing, but that is past, and we think about the next game. I think we need partnerships in the top order and then the back end. So we made a little mistake, but we can think about the positive, and we know the conditions already, as we played two matches. I think we didn’t bat well in the last match.

Meanwhile, Sikandar Raza said, “Richard is fine. I think it’s one of those policies that we’ve got to manage our workload. If you look at Richard’s history with the back and also the games that he has played, it was important to give him a rest as well. So we’ve rested him today, along with some other guys.”
“The confidence and the mood and the culture we have in the change room. I think all of those things are adding to what you see and what everyone else sees in the park as well.”
“Everybody’s in a very good headspace, everybody’s feeling confident, and today’s game is another opportunity for all of us to basically showcase our skills and try to close the series 3-0. I think in playing at the Sports Club in winter, especially, I think against a new ball, it’s always going to be very tricky.”
In comes the two seamers, Nesto and Chivanga, and with Wellington coming in as Nyamhuri’s replacement. So two seamers and a spinner to add,” concluded Sikandar Raza.
