Pak eyeing three wins in a row against India
Bob Woolmer is hoping to continue the run of success against the arch-rivals in the coming clash in Champions Trophy in England next month.
With two wins in a row against India, Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer is hoping to continue the run of success against the arch-rivals in the coming clash in Champions Trophy in England next month.
"We hope to continue this run of success against India all through," said Woolmer after his side had beaten India by 66 runs in the opening game of the tri-series here on Saturday.
Pakistan had earlier beaten India comprehensively in the Asia Cup in Sri Lanka last month.
With India having ruined their chances of a place in the August 28 final, it seems unlikely that the two teams will run into each other before the Champions Trophy clash on September 19.
"We have just played two games against them and won both but I would rate today's performance as better than others," said the coach giving his bowlers and fielders the credit for the discipline they showed in Indian innings.
"Nobody is mentioning we gave away just five extras. The pitch was also not easy to bat on. It held a little bit for the medium-pacers and quick bowlers had a tendency to run on to the bat a little more."
