‘History-making opportunity’ for Pakistan: Matthew Hayden
Pakistan‘s batting consultant for the T20 World Cup, Matthew Hayden, who has been part of several great Ashes encounters against England, reckons nothing matches the tension that is between India and Pakistan rivalry.
The former Australia opener believes this upcoming encounter between the two neighbouring nations is a “history-making opportunity” for the Pakistan team to end India’s clean record over them – 5-0 in T20 World Cups – and also start their tournament with a victory.
“Nothing that I’ve ever seen through the various elements of our game ever matches the rivalry of India and Pakistan. There is an obvious pressure much like the pressure that’s there when you play against England for Australia,” Hayden said in a media interaction.
“But the pressure is only as much as you allow it to be. Your preparation is there, your experience is there, your opportunity now becomes a history-making opportunity,” he added.
India won both their warm-up matches – versus England and Australia – while Pakistan defeated West Indies before losing a last-ball thriller to South Africa courtesy of Rassie van der Dussen’s century.
