"I would have done the same thing but the pitch is on the dry side. It's a used pitch; it doesn't matter if we bat. A lot of young players have come into the side since 2021, and they are now maturing. We are going with the same XI," Charith Asalanka said. 

"We'll bowl first. When I saw the first leg, all the matches were won by the teams batting second easily. And, I am a bit confused about the pitch, that's why we chose to bowl. When you qualify, you have an opportunity to play all the three game. We are very excited to play the game. All the members of the team are doing a great job, so I am very happy. Two changes. Sohan and Rishad not playing. Shoriful and Shak (Mahedi Hasan)," Litton Das said.
