What will Team India do in Ahmedabad today? Practice timing, playing XI, press conference and more
There remains a slim mathematical possibility of the Netherlands also advancing, but that would require a substantial win over co-hosts India in Ahmedabad on the same day.“Uplifting the team is only difficult if you don’t work on your mistakes made in the last game,” Tariq told reporters.“We worked on our mistakes so I think it won’t be a difficult task.”“We are determined not to repeat the same mistakes.”Pakistan were criticized for electing to field first against India and then collapsed to 114 in 18 overs while chasing 176.“We feel their (fans’) disappointment because the whole nation is watching the match,” Tariq said.“So we feel their pain, but I’m sure the next time we play them (India), we’ll put up a better show.”He also quashed speculation that Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi could be dropped for the Namibia clash after stunning displays.“Both Azam and Shaheen have won many matches for Pakistan, so if they don’t perform well in one match, we shouldn’t write them off,” Tariq said.Pakistan have already met Namibia once in a T20 international. Meanwhile, Namibia lost all three of their group matches.“Whoever we play, we’re confident we’ll beat them and our aim is to play in the final and win the cup, which we’ll try our best to achieve.”
