Teams
Peshawar Zalmi: Babar Azam (c), Saim Ayub, Mohammad Haris (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Hussain Talat, Rovman Powell, Aamir Jamal, Luke Wood, Mehran Mumtaz, Arif Yaqoob, Khurram Shahzad
Islamabad United: Shadab Khan (c), Alex Hales, Martin Guptill, Salman Ali Agha, Azam Khan (wk), Haider Ali, Imad Wasim, Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, Hunain Shah, Obed McCoy
Shadab Khan: We want to rely on our strength and want to bowl first. Hopefully it will be a good game. We need to do the basics right and execute plans to put opposition under pressure. I think there will be low bounce on this pitch and will help fast bowlers, it will reverse. We're going with the same team
Babar Azam: You don't think about these things as a captain (about getting out and how batting hinges on me), it's about assessing conditions and we'll look to do well in the powerplay. It's a do or die match for us and the message to teammates is to give their 100%, enjoy your day.
