Shahid Afridi, Pakistan's T20 captain,
on Thursday (December 17) said he
hoped a tough T20 WC draw would
motivate his team to win the title for
the first time in seven years and beat
arch-rival India along the way. The
2009 champions are placed in Group 2
of the Super Ten round of the T20 WC
along with hosts India, Australia, New
Zealand, and a yet to be decided
qualifier.
"We have a tough draw but I am
hopeful that this challenge will pump-
up my team to win the title and on the
way beat India," Afridi told AFP.
Pakistan lost to India in both the group
round and final of the inaugural T20
WC in 2007 and then in two
subsequent tournaments. They have
also lost to India every time they have
faced them in six World Cups. But
Afridi said it was time for a change. "I
don't want to live in history. Whatever
mistakes we usually make in the
matches against India we have to
overcome them." Read more: Tough T20 WC draw excites Shahid Afridi - Cricbuzz
