He added that technical panel has addressed all the technical issues and they are looking for a win and scoring more goals
“We have addressed almost all the technical issues ” We are not just looking for three points, but we also want to score more goals because goal difference could become important.” He said.
The Scorchers are second in Group C with three points, and a victory over Egypt would take them to six points and move them closer to a place in the quarter-finals.
