ADELAIDE: Pakistan head coach Waqar Younis said that they have beaten Australia before and they will try to repeat the history again despite the absence of ace fast bowler Mohammad Irfan.
Waqar Younis said that Mohammad Irfan is the team’s X-factor but insisted they can still defeat Australia despite the seamer being ruled of the tournament with a stress fracture of his pelvis.
It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan’s star fast bowler Mohammad Irfan has been ruled out from the tournament after suffering fracture in hip bone.
Waqar further said that they lost Irfan at very wrong time. This type of injury can happened at any stage so they can’t say that it happened two days ago, he added.
“I am pleased with the performance of the fast bowlers — Wahab Riaz has taken responsibility and has been delivering and so has Rahat Ali.
“We have been approaching the games very well in the entire tournament. We had a poor start at the beginning but we came back well.”
Talking about Yasir Shah he said they will decide to include him after reviewing the pitch.
“We can beat Australia but for that we have to be very positive. We have beaten them in the past, even in the last World Cup (2011) so we can do that again if we play to our strength,” Waqar said.
