We would go all guns blazing against Oz to see India in the final again: Younis Khan |
Pakistan captain Younis Khan has said that he would be trying his
level best to defeat the Aussies in their Champions Trophy clash on Wednesday
(today) so that India and Pakistan can once again meet in the final of the elite
tournament. Interacting with media persons here, Khan said Pakistan wants to maintain
the momentum and would try hard to win the match against Australia. "We would
leave no stone unturned to achieve a win against Australia. We would go all out
for a win to keep the momentum going. I wish India could go on to meet us in the
final again," Khan said. "I think all the Indians want Pakistan to win against
Australia on Wednesday. We have got our well-wishers in India and we wish India
good luck for a place in the semis. We definitely want to see them in the final.
A Pakistan-India final is what I wish for," he added. Khan, however, said that
since Pakistan has already secured its place in the semi-finals, it might test
the bench in the encounter against the Kangaroos. "Imran Nazir is nursing an injury
and he could be replaced while there are good chances of bringing in Mohammad
Asif," The News quoted Khan, as saying. Australian captain Ricky Ponting, who
was also present in the pre-match press conference, said Wednesday's match is
of great importance for the team as its reputation was at stake. "We cannot even
think of taking the game lightly. We would go hard on Pakistan. It is the win
that we need. We have got a reputation at stake and we would do all we could to
save that," Ponting said. Punter said his boys have been performing well in the
tournament and hoped that they would continue the good show. "I don't think we
have shown any weakness so far in the tournament. Players have been giving their
best and hopefully would continue to play with the same spirit during the rest
of the competition," he said. Australia needs at least a point from the game to
join Pakistan in the semis. |
