Muhammad Nawaz, the all-rounder of the Pakistan cricket team, says that there was criticism for the defeat and poor performance against India, but we did not come only to defeat India, the first priority is to reach the semi-finals.
Mahmood Nawaz said in a special conversation with Geo News at Bengaluru’s Channaswamy Stadium that he admits that he has not been performing well since 6-7 matches.
He further said that the defeat in the match against India has become a part of the past, we have to forget all this and move forward, everyone’s hope increases in the match against India.
The all-rounder also said that the people of both the countries have high expectations in this match because it is a big match, whoever plays well in this match becomes a hero. There is also anger.
He said that the Pakistan team has not reached the World Cup only to defeat India, the World Cup is not over yet, there are 6 matches left, they will restore confidence by winning against Australia.
Mohammad Nawaz said that Australia has made a comeback, I guess the match is very important for both teams, Pakistan would like to win against Australia and pave the way for the semi-finals.
He said that the first priority is to reach the semi-finals and will make the destination easier by winning 6 matches.
The all-rounder admitted that his performance has not been good for six to seven matches, but earlier he was taking wickets in the middle overs and scoring runs, efforts will be made to remove what is lacking, there are flat patches, more runs will be scored here. But wickets must be taken in the middle overs.
