Waqar Younis feels Pakistan have advantage against India

Kolkata, Mar 18 (IBNS) Former speedstar and Pakistan's head coach Waqar Younis feels Pakistan have added advantage against India in the crucial T20 World Cup match on Saturday at Eden Gardens after the hosts were defeated in the opener against New Zealand at Nagpur.

"Things are going positive for us right now after we beat Bangladesh in the first match here on Wednesday and India were defeated by New Zealand," the 44-year-old  Younis said while addressing a press conference  here Friday.

India and Pakistan will lock horns in a high-voltage  Group II Super 10 match, a crucial for both, especially for India, to qualify for semi-final stage.

Pakistan are one up with two points  while India are yet to earn any point so far.

" Pressure is heavy on India and we shall  definitely take advantage of it," Younis added.

Younis also rejected Indian spinner  Ravichandran Aswin statement that India-Pakistan match was like a "border rivalry".

Commenting on tomorrow’s match, Pakistan coach said  his side  is a confident lot while there is a possibility that India might made their exit from  the tournament despite  being the  host nation.

"India is now under pressure which is a plus point for Pakistan," Younis said.

He also lauded Kolkata fans saying they got huge response from them during the game against Bangladesh.
