Misbah aims to rewrite history
- Pakistan start their World Cup campaign against India, a team they have never beaten at the showpiece event.
- Misbah believes that the team is well prepared for the quadrennial event.
Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq has promised the fans that they would play their best cricket during the ICC World Cup, hoping to beat India there. Pakistan have never beaten India at the World Cup and start their campaign against them on February 15 in Adelaide.
"We know how important this match is and we are going with a clear mind that we want to change history and beat India in a World Cup," Misbah said while addressing the media briefly at the national cricket academy in Lahore before the team left for the airport to embark on their World Cup campaign on Tuesday.
"We are focused for the match and the players are going to play with lot of passion and commitment to try to win the match," he added.
Misbah believes that the team is well prepared for the quadrennial event. "In a few hours we will be leaving for the World Cup and I think we have our best possible preparations for the World Cup and we are going with a positive mindset and try to win every match and the World Cup," he said.
"We have only one thing in mind that is to play our best cricket in this event because we know how closely the World Cup is followed by everyone and the expectations attached with our team. Every team has the backing of its nation and it comes well prepared to win the World Cup so it is going to be a tough challenge but I think we have the resources to meet this challenge," he said.
Pakistan is slated to play two warm up matches and two one-day internationals in New Zealand before moving to Australia and Misbah, who has already announced the World Cup will be his final one-day international event, said the team would have nearly three and half weeks to acclimatise to the conditions in the host countries. "We are going there nearly three and half weeks in advance to acclimatise and get used to wickets and that is good enough and we have the resources to deal with every situation," he said.
