Srinagar: Pakistan seasoned wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan has said that his side is trying to stay calm and brave for the clash against India.
“Playing India is always a pressure game. The whole world, even beyond Asia, wait for it,” Rizwan, who hit an unbeaten 78 against Hong Kong, told reporters in a press briefing.
“The pressure will be equally on India and us, but the result will be with whoever remains brave and keeps calm,” added the wicketkeeper-batsman.
“I tell players, whether you play India or Hong Kong, it’s a game of bat and ball,” said Rizwan.
“So keep it simple. Yes, it’s a big game and our confidence is high but only hard work is in our hands, as the result is from God.”
Every India-Pakistan match draws packed stadiums and millions of viewers on TV and digital platforms.
“We have to play good cricket and make the final,” said Rizwan.
“Our fans demand that we give our best and it is visible this time that the boys are giving it their all.”
