Match Point

Our team marched into Mohali and sent shock waves of intimidation to their Indian opponents. Bravo, Pakistan!

My advice to the players: enjoy the occasion and consider yourselves fortunate to have this opportunity.

Pakistan have never beaten India in the World Cup. That one statistic carries insurmountable pressure with it.

We see the match as a contest between Pakistan and India the teams - not the countries.

Today we will not just need a cricketer on the field, we will need a performer, a player who likes to flaunt himself.

Pakistan has never beaten India in a World Cup, but they have always been the gate-crashers. Let's defy the stats!

Team Pakistan can win the semi-final, and nonsensical warnings from Rehman Malik will not hurt our chances.

If I were to have any say in the team selection, I would certainly go for Saeed Ajmal and Shoaib Akhtar.

Let’s stop loving to hate India and stop referring to the semi-final as a ‘do or die’ situation.

Indian fans have already decided that the match will be won by India - the pressure of expectations is on Dhoni.
