Pakistan captian Salman Agha describes today’s match as a “massive opportunity.”

Says he would have opted to bowl first if he won the toss.

Understands the job at hand: “Put up a good total and restrict them.”

The Sri Lanka captain noted that dew is expected later in the day as he announced his decision to take the field.

To recap, Pakistan will need to win this by at least 64 runs to advance to the next stage.

Weather’s clear and dry for now.
