Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments
“We’re going to bowl first. Chasing is our preference. This is a great chance for us, and we have a quick turnaround. Everyone is excited. We were supposed to have a fitness test today, and there’s been a lot of hard work getting us here. We’re keen to get started. Our team has plenty of experience, and we’ve been in this position before. Good memories, but this is a strong side we’re facing. We also have high-quality players in our team,” said Richie Berrington.
“I haven’t won a toss in a while, and I probably would’ve chosen to bowl as well. Every time we step onto the field, we need to believe we can win. There was a slight delay, but Hetmyer is ready to play. Representing our region is always special,” added Shai Hope.
