"We had a successful start in the opening game and want to improve with every match. We are well-prepared and are here because we want to win.

However, I know that our boys can do it and we are ready," he said.Winger Thahir Zaman mentioned that his team has grown accustomed to the pressure that comes with being the defending champions.
