“Pakistan side has the ability to beat team India in Champions Trophy as Pakistan has outperformed team India in the past as well. Pitches look good and in my opinion, even 400 runs will be easily chased down in the Champions Trophy” – Younis Khan
“We have had good preparation, we have had a good couple of days. It is a huge game against India, a really big game. But it is just a game.”- Haris Sohail
“I think when the game starts, it feels quite normal (for the players). The players are playing the situation, whatever the teams need at that time. Players are proffessionals, so they tend to mould into that situation rather than thinking too much about who we are playing.” – Azhar
Pakistan’s batting maye be fragile but they have been enough of a reputation on the bowling front to make those words true.
