Mohali semifinal crucial for both sides: Misbah-ul-Haq

Pakistan all-rounder Misbah-ul-Haq on Sunday said that the upcoming cricket World Cup semifinal match against India would be very important for both sides. The eagerly awaited match is scheduled for Wednesday at the Punjab Cricket Association (PCA) stadium in Mohali. Commenting on Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi's statement in Dhaka on Thursday that the Pakistan team would not allow any rival batsman to play long innings, interpreted in Indian media as a bid to prevent India's leading batsman Sachin Tendulkar score his 100th century in ODIs, Haq said when stakes are high in the game it did not matter on individual milestones.
