“We have done some things right but we haven’t maintainted it for a long period. We want to be consistent with our bowling so we need to keep it simple. One change for us,” concluded Devine.
Meanwhile Nigar Sultana said, “We wanted to bowl first, our bowlers have been doing well in the first two games so we wanted to give them a freebie. It’s a very good opportunity for us, we want to play our A game here. We have two changes.”
