He’s had a couple of injections and is all set to play through the pain. Sharjeel Khan and Junaid Khan return to the XI.
Misbah-ul-Haq continues saying chasing would be hard with the added pressure of the final and their fast bowling is their strength and in the night time it might do a little more. No Sohaib Maqsood and Abdur Rehman

He adds they had to fight every single game and are playing very good cricket and hope it will continue.
