Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s wicket-keeper batter, believes that consecutive victories in the 2023 World Cup, including their recent win against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad, will bolster the team’s confidence as they prepare for the highly anticipated clash with India in Ahmedabad on October 14. Rizwan expressed his commitment to sticking with the methods that served them well against Sri Lanka when they face India, their arch-rivals.
“Our next match is against India, and this will give us confidence and we will go with the same plan,” said Rizwan in the post-match press conference. “We now have momentum. Our next match, everyone knows that it is with India, but they will also come with a plan, we will also come with a plan.”
Pakistan have not beaten India in seven World Cup matches going back to 1992. India were also comfortable winners in their last meeting, at the Asia Cup in September.
