Regarding the final clash against England, Babar said that the first six overs are extremely important. "We believe in Allah. Our job is to work hard and the result is in the hands of God," he added.

Answering a question about the meeting with Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja, the star player said that the meeting with the chair was pleasant. Babar said that Ramiz told the team to play openly and stick to the game.

The skipper also said that the toss does not hold much importance in the final match. "The weather is not in our hands but we hope that we get to play a full match and it doesn't get affected by the rain," he continued to say.
