Pakistan Need To Win Their Games: Wasim Akram

“They (Pakistan) can only do one thing. They just have to win their games and then hope and pray that other teams provide favorable results. Because those things aren’t in your control. If New Zealand loses by a big margin, again, that’s not in Pakistan’s control. They should focus on their cricket. The next two games are against big teams,” Akram said on A Sports.

He further said that he fears that England might defeat Pakistan despite they themselves being close to elimination. They have a mathematical chance to make the semid but can certainly spoil Pakistan’s chances if they beat them.

“I’m scared of England because they are out. They are going to play fearless cricket. They have nothing to lose. They will be aggressive and will intend to spoil someone’s party,” the 57-year-old added.

Pakistan started with back-to-back wins and then went on a four-match losing streak before coming back to winning ways against Bangladesh. They will now face the Kiwis in Bangalore on November 4, Saturday.
