DHAKA, June 9: After crushing Bangladesh by 70 runs, Pakistan coach Geoff Lawson says his team would now look to extend their 12-match unbeaten run by routing archrivals India by a bigger margin in the second one-dayer of the ongoing tri-series here on Tuesday.

An elated Lawson said Pakistan, who beat Bangladesh on Sunday night in the tri-series opener, just had to play their natural game without allowing the pressure of the contest to get to their nerves.

“We do not want to treat the match as a must win one and put ourselves under pressure. We want to play our own game,” Lawson said about the match, a win in which would assure Pakistan a place in the final.

On Sunday night’s victory, Lawson said he was particularly pleased with Shahid Afridi’s all-round effort. Afridi scored 20 runs off 17 balls and picked up three wickets in his eight overs conceding a mere 19 runs. “He is obviously an experienced player. Every team has its own targets and they do have their strategies against rival teams,” he said.

Lawson was also all praise for his bowlers and said the team won because of a coordinated effort. —Agencies
