Hafeez says team will perform in World T20

Hafeez is confident his team will recover and challenge for glory at the World T20 in Sri Lanka.



Mohammad Hafeez doesn’t think Pakistan’s humiliating defeat at the hands of Australia last night will affect their momentum heading into the World T20.

His side’s 74 at Dubai Sports City was their worst-ever score in the format – joint with India as a low for a major cricketing nation. But Hafeez is adamant that the result wasn’t due to complacency after already securing a 2-1 series win against the Aussies last Friday.

“We really wanted to win,” he said. “But the way we approached the cause [wasn’t right]. We lost too many early wickets and couldn’t recover. I think the boys did really well [on the tour] and I’m really proud. There are definitely positives to take forward.

“We were not complacent after winning the series, we didn’t play smart, we lost too many wickets before six overs and Australia played really well.”

Hafeez is confident his side will recover and challenge for glory at the World T20 in Sri Lanka, starting on September 18.

“Everyone is preparing themselves,” he added. “No one is favourite, there are about nine teams that can beat anyone. T20 is all about doing the right thing at the right time.

“This series will give momentum to whoever does well. We wanted to learn against pace and I think we did that.”

Hafeez paid tribute to David Warner and Shane Watson who struck up an 111-run partnership –the biggest in Australia T20 history – essentially killing off the game after just 10 overs.

“Watson and Warner were exc-eptional and put us under pressure,” he added. “Yes there is a concern that we didn’t chase, but inshallah we’ll do well. I have confidence.”

Warner had struggled in both the ODIs and T20 games against Afgh-anistan and Pakistan until his 31 in game two and last night’s 59, which included six huge sixes. “I always back myself,” he said. “I think I was thinking about things a bit too much.

“We talk about partnerships, we set ourselves goals and partnerships. That momentum will be good for all of us, especially to see the way we bowled.

West Indies Captain Confident Ahead Of t20 World Cup

Narine will play a big role in World T20 - Sammy

West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said his side would have a weapon in Sunil Narine in Sri Lanka for the World Twenty20. Sammy said the offspinner, among the best spinners in the world, has had an extraordinary introduction to international cricket, and that he expects Narine to play a crucial part in West Indies campaign on Sri Lanka's dry, turning tracks.

Afridi: People must keep faith in us

Flamboyant allrounder Shahid Afridi has called on the Pakistanis to support and pray for the success of the national team in the ICC World T20, to be held later this month in Sri Lanka.
Afridi's appeal came after Australia swamped Pakistan in the third and final T20 International in Dubai on Monday, raising questions over whether the team was prepared for the World Cup.

Pakistan suffered their heaviest defeat in a T20 match to dampen spirits after a nail-biting win in the second match last Friday.

"It is disappointing that we couldn't complete a clean sweep of the T20 series today but we need to now focus on the World Cup," Afridi told Pakistani media in Dubai.

"We have the ability to do well in the World Cup and people must keep faith in the players and pray for our success," he added.
