KOLKATA: Pakistan suddenly have spring in their steps and why not. Tuesday’s win against Bangladesh has not only given a new lease of life, it has also hugely boosted their confidence.
“We do believe that we still have a good chance of entering the semifinals,” Fakhar Zaman, one of the heroes of the seven-wicket win, said at the Eden Gardens here after the match. “Some of the results of the other matches have to go our way.”
Zaman, who scored 81 in 74 balls, added that he could have got a century, but the team’s situation dictated the way he played and eventually lost his wicket. “Our aim was to chase down the target (205 runs) in 28-29 overs,” he said. “We knew that we had to get our net run rate up.”
