“There have been great matches, ups, and downs, good performances. We are excited for the final.,” Babar said in a video released by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
“I am lucky as captain to have such a good team and the way they have been responding and performing. In every game, a new individual has stepped up,” he added.
Babar once again shed light on Pakistan’s one-wicket victory over Afghanistan in the Super Four round.
“Our round matches were quite close, especially the one against Afghanistan. We were not expecting Naseem to hit those sixes,” he added.
The 27-year-old emphasized that the side batting second has an advantage and the toss will matter a lot tonight.
“I am expecting a good final. Teams batting second are winning matches as toss matter, wickets get better in the second innings and there is also a slight edge,” he added.
