‘We have beaten India in T20, its not that we can’t beat them here’: Babar Azam

Pakistan captain Babar Azam has said in a press conference held before the Pakistan-India match in the World Cup 2023, that his team does not focus on what happened in the past. “We focus on what is happening now, but we will try to give a good performance in tomorrow’s match,” he remarked.

Babar Azam said that he has not batted as well as he should have in the World Cup so far. Stating that he does not know what the result of tomorrow’s match will be, Babar stressed that he has confidence in the team.

Talking about Pakistan’s bowling line, Babar Azam said about Naseem Shah, “We will miss him in the World Cup for his impressive bowling in the Asia Cup. I believe in Shaheen Afridi. He is a big-match bowler.”

An up-and-down performance in a couple of matches does not mean that there is a question mark, Babar said about his star bowler. “If Pakistan wants to win the World Cup, the fielding should be better,” he told the press.

He further said that there is no pressure on the players. “I hope we will get support here like in Hyderabad. We have beaten India in T20, it’s not that we can’t beat them here.”
