CANBERRA, Australia: “I am proud of my team,” Pakistan captain Urooj Mumtaz said here on Monday following her team’s 57-run win over Sri Lanka in a Group B match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2009 competition.

“It was a complete team effort and every player played her role to perfection. “The batters stayed at the wicket to ensure we played out 50 overs while the bowlers bowled straight and were excellently back up by the fielders.

“All in all, it was a performance to be proud of and couldn’t have come at a better time when we prepare to play England in the last group match. Our feet are still on ground as we know plenty of cricket still has to be played in the tournament and anything can happen.

“There is always a first time and I am glad that we ended our win drought in the World Cup and also against Sri Lanka. I wouldn’t like to make tall claims but we would aim and try to beat teams we have never beaten before.”
