What did Rashid Khan say-
“The last World Cup has given us a lot of confidence. It made us believe that we are capable of beating any team at any time. It is not just about skill and talent, it is also about belief. It is very important to focus on what we are doing rather than thinking about what the opposition is doing.”
“This is the kind of start we wanted as a team. It doesn’t matter who we play, it’s all about the mindset. The hard work we have put in over the last few weeks, the way the openers started and the way our bowlers bowled – it was a great overall team effort.”
