Pakistan's captain admits nerves are a factor against India
The captain of Pakistan cricket team Babar Azam admitted that nerves are going to play a role in the mature weighted match between India and Pakistan and that he is hopeful about lifting the T20 World Cup trophy once again. Pakistan won their maiden T20 World Cup accolade in 2009. Since then, the Men in Green have come close to tasting success but fell short each time.
With the World Cup already underway, Pakistan is looking forward to ending the drought by lifting the title in the ongoing edition. But before the tournament arrives at that stage, the headlines will belong to the clash between two of the oldest rivalries in cricket: India and Pakistan.
While speaking on the Pakistan Cricket Board podcast, Babar said, “The whole world is focused on the day when the Pakistan-India match is held. Naturally, there will be nerves. It is always a pressure game.”
In the last edition, the Pakistan cricket team reached the final of the competition but fell short against England in a low-scoring affair.
