Transcript

00:00It's the fall

00:05Pakistan have won this match

00:08Pakistan has won this match the team played brilliantly both the matches against West Indies and against India

00:17After the injury to Imran

00:19Pakistan bowlers did a wonderful job

00:22They were supported by some brilliant fielding

00:24Modasser led the Pakistan team very well Pakistan deserved to win

00:29The performance they have put in the field is tremendous. Modasser has done an excellent job for Pakistan

00:37Skipper Imran had gone off the field due to his injury

00:41So Pakistan had their revenge for the defeat earlier this year by India in the Sharjah tournament

00:47This is what the Pakistani captain Imran Khan had to say afterwards

00:51It's been such hard work for us

00:54Our supporters particularly I mean they've come here they've supported us

00:58And we haven't produced any results for the past two years

01:02So you know it's been excellent for the team as well as for our supporters to have achieved the results we did today

01:08Do you get more satisfaction out of beating India than if you had beaten the West Indies?

01:14Yes, especially if the players respond to the spectators and the Pakistani supporters

01:24For them the crunch match is always against India

01:27Although for me it's a greater challenge to win against the West Indies because

01:32You know they're just the best team in the world

01:34But you know it gives more satisfaction to please our supporters who beat India

01:40Do you find you're always under more pressure when playing India?

01:43Oh definitely

01:46Your team seems much sharper than the Indian team all round in batting bowling and fielding

01:51Yeah, I think we've got the bases now of a very good cricket team

01:56We've got the nucleus of senior players and then there are a lot of youngsters talented youngsters coming up

02:03And I think Pakistan team is going to be reckoned with in the next couple of years

02:08For the next couple of years

02:09It's just sad that we haven't got any test cricket coming up

02:12Or any cricket coming up really and I feel really sorry that we are now on the threshold of performing really well without

02:20Having a chance to display our talents

02:23Do you think this Indian team is playing as well as it was earlier this year?

02:29You see the Indian team depends a lot on the type of wickets

02:34They do not have a strong enough bowling attack

02:37They're a good batting team but the bowling is rather weak

02:40And they rely on a certain type of wicket

02:42The wicket last year supported them or earlier this year supported them completely

02:47Because it was a spinning wicket

02:49It was not a wicket where the ball came on

02:51But on good batting wickets, I think we we have the age

02:55And I understand, Mudassar has been named man of the match

02:59Yes, I thought it was a close thing between him and Tosti Samara

03:03Who really did a great job for us at a vital stage in the game

03:06But you know, Mudassar, I mean, he had to take the responsibility of leading the team

03:12And he just did a great all-round job

03:14With scoring such a high score today, do you think you're still in with a chance of winning this tournament?

03:19Yes, we've got an outside chance

03:21Although the westernies are a really strong team

03:25And India will have to play really well to beat them

03:27The Indian captain Kapal Dev was obviously disappointed by the result

03:31It's a disappointment when we go to Australia

03:34It's very important anyway

03:36It's a good practice for us as well

03:38What about your own performance, your battle performance?

03:41Obviously very disappointed about that

03:43Well, that is the time where we could easily go and do something

03:48We lost three, four wickets in five forwards

03:52That was a very crucial time

03:54What about the game with the West Indies on Friday?

03:57I'm looking forward to win that match

04:06A fairly easy win then for Pakistan

04:08And so
