This was a pressure game: Misbah
Adelaide, Mar 15 (IBNS): Ensuring a place in the quater-finals of the World Cup, Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq on Sunday said the match against Ireland was a 'pressure game'.
"This was a pressure game...It was a game more pressure game for us than, say, a quarter-final," Haq said after the match.

Ireland could not qualify for the quarter-finals.
