Pakistan fast bowler Shahnawaz Dahani revelled in the joy of meeting MS Dhoni after Pakistan's historic 10-wicket win in their T20 World Cup 2021 opener in Dubai on Saturday. India's mentor for the tournament was seen interacting with Pakistan players, including skipper Babar Azam, after the game.

Australia head coach Justin Langer believes that every player in the 15-member squad will be utilised during the T20 World Cup. Langer added that the team needs to adapt according to the conditions in the Super 12 round across the UAE as they started their campaign with a win against South Africa.

Amit Mishra believes that the Pakistan batsmen will face difficulties against Varun Chakravarthy, when they face India in T20 World Cup 2021 Super 12s clash on October 24 in Dubai. Mishra added that the pitches will get drier as the tournament progresses, bringing spinners more into play.

Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa believes that their spin attack is as good as any other team at the T20 World Cup 2021 in the UAE and Oman. Australia have included three spinners in their 15-member squad in Zampa, Ashton Agar and Mitchell Swepson, to go with part-time off-breaks of Glenn Maxwell.
