2021 T20 WC: Oman win toss, opt to field against PNG

Zeeshan Maqsood backed his spinners to do well in the first match of the mega event.

"We'll bowl first. The pitch looks dry and we have spin bowlers with us. We have prepared really well and are looking to give our best and qualify for the next round. The boys are in good nick," said Maqsood  at the toss.

On the other hand, Papua New Guinea skipper Asaad Vala said that the preparation has been good for the team.

"It looks like a really good wicket. I would have bowled first as well. The preparation has been good and we need to use our flair and give everything we have got. We want to play the PNG way, which you hopefully will see soon. We have a good all-round team," said Asaad at the toss.
