Canada can expect a motivated Pakistan when they meet Tuesday at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup in suburban New York.
"Everybody's in a positive mood … Our last game went really well," said Canada captain Saad Bin Zafar."It instilled a belief in us that if we play good cricket on the day, we can take down any opponent. "I think I should have a template text 'Disappointed & hurt' automatically set to be posted," Shoaib Akhtar, a former Pakistani international bowler and current commentator, said in a social media post after the India defeat."This is not just a defeat, it is a sorry statement on the mental strength of our players," said Mohsin Khan, a former Pakistan batsman, selector and interim coach.
For the Canadians, who are staying in Brooklyn, just getting to the stadium takes 90 minutes to two hours. Zafar says the team will leave the hotel around 7 a.m. Tuesday. In 50-over play, Canada lost to Pakistan by 46 runs at the 2011 ICC World Cup and eight wickets at the 1979 World Cup. Pakistan won by 35 runs when they met in 2008 in a T20 match in King City, Ont.
"I just want to go and beat them as I badly as I would want to go and beat any other opponents playing for Canada," he added.
