Quetta Gladiators' skipper Saud Shakeel has won the toss and decided to bat first against Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League season 10 final being played at Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Sunday.
Speaking to the media, Saud Shakeel said the rest has been good for us. "We want to post a good target against this quality bowling line-up. My message to my teammates is that it's just a match, don't take any added pressure, and keep as calm as possible, " he added.
"Mohammad Wasim is slightly unfit and will miss out, Khurram Shahzad comes back in the team in his place."
Shaheen Afridi said boys have been performing well and are focused on putting up their best effort. "Everyone is mature and has played international cricket, coming with heaps of domestic experience as well and know what is expected from them in this big game," he added.
"There is one change. Sikandar Raza is back. Lahore's crowd has always supported us, and we look forward to their support tonight."
