“Look, our preparations and this series particularly is meant for that (match against India)…and look, the India vs Pakistan are always a high-intensity one. And it is best that you stay cool and relaxed for this game because it helps you to perform better. And on the day we will try and give our hundred percent," Babar Azam had said after Pakistan qualified for the final of the T20I tri-series in New Zealand.

However, Pakistan have now won the thr-series final against New Zealand by five wickets. This is a big victory for the Men in Green as it will boot their confidence, moving to big match against India. But, on the other hand, it’s quite disappointing for New Zealand as they lost it on their home ground.

Off late, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam have continued their good form, but Mohmmad Nawaz’s all-round performance might have also given more strength to the team.

After winning the Tri-series, Azam hailed his team and mentioned that middle order has been performing well and they are looking to step up and continue the performance in T20I World Cup as well.

“The way our team played deserves all the credit. The bowlers were brilliant at the death. The way the middle order played was outstanding. Haider and Nawaz are outstanding, so we need to step up and perform," said Babar Azam.
