Pak eager to change WC record against India’

KOLKATA: Sounding the war bugle ahead of their high-voltage clash with India at the Eden Gardens here, Pakistan coach Waqar Younis on Friday said India are under tremendous pressure and exuded confidence about Pakistan rewriting their record of not beating their arch-rivals in a World Cup contest. India are in danger of getting knocked out of the World Twenty 20 afer being beaten in their first match by New Zealand in Nagpur. “History can be changed, and we are confident of that this time. India have a chance of being knocked out of the tournament, so they are under lot of pressure and it surely is a plus point for us,” said Waqar. “We won the last match against Bangladesh, a lot of positives are in our side. Yes, our history in terms of playing against India in World Cups hasn’t been great, but we are confident of changing that this time,” he said about Pakistan being beaten every time they played against India in the One-Day and T20 World Cups. India enjoy a 10-0 record against Pakistan in all World Cup matches. While Pakistan scripted a comprehensive victory in their first match against Bangladesh in sharp contrast to India who were humbled by New Zealand, Waqar said the pressure was more on the Indians to stay afloat in the tournament.
