“The pitch looks slow so we are going to bat,” Sana said at the toss, suggesting that anything above 150 would be a good target. Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, Tuba Hassan, and Umm-e-Hani were Pakistan’s four spinners. They retained their opening combination of Muneeba Ali and Shawaal Zulfiqar despite the return of Gull Feroza in the side, who was slotted at three.
Thailand come into this contest with a six-run win over Hong Kong and a heavy defeat against India. They need to win this game to stay alive in the competition.
