It was a high-pressure moment in our career (touring India). When we were hitting boundaries, there was no one to cheer us up.

The upcoming encounter between India and Pakistan in the World Cup will be the eighth meeting between these countries in the ODI tournament. The Blues have won all meetings since 1992.
