Pakistan’s Captain Babar Azam urged his team to capitalize on its recent string of four victories by winning the Twenty20 World Cup final.
In his pre-match press conference, Babar stated, “We have lost the first two matches but the way we have come back in the subsequent four matches, we have played extremely well.
The 2009 champions lost to India and Zimbabwe on the final ball to begin their tournament, but they recovered to get to Sunday’s final against England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
He said that there is pressure, no doubt but it can only be resisted by faith and confidence. I’m more excited than nervous.
Babar is counting on the strength of his fast bowlers to give Pakistan the upper hand, especially during the six-over power play.
England’s 10-wicket) victory against India to get to the finals was evidence that they are a competitive squad, he claimed.
“To win the finals, our strategy is to follow through with our plan and rely on our pace attack.”
While responding to a question regarding crowd support he said, “They inspire us and it’s fantastic to see fans support the Pakistan team whether we go.”
