DHAKA: Pakistan captain Shahid Khan Afridi said that Pakistan has always given a tough time to India in India and his team would plan a better strategy against the hosts in their semi-finals in the World Cup.

He said that the morale of the team is high and each player of his team has a sense of responsibility.

Afridi said that he has fulfilled the promise of reaching the semi-finals with their nation’s prays and all his boys are confident enough to tackle India.

He said that they would give positive results in the semi-finals, too.

The skipper said that the Pakistan team is ready to compete with any team anywhere and he would plan an strategy according to situation.

“The boys are professional cricketers,” he said. “Of course everybody likes to have the crowd supporting you but that doesn’t mean that we cannot play in front of fans, who are backing our rival team. There were over 30,000 people supporting Sri Lanka in Colombo but we won that match,” he said referring to Pakistan’s 11-run win over the tournament co-hosts in a Pool A match last month.

Afridi is confident that his players were capable of giving their best at any venue.
