Interviewer:<\/strong> How was the pitch during your last game, and were the 190 runs a challenge for the USA?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> The pitch was excellent. Scoring 190 runs on it was quite an achievement. In recent months, we’ve often reached scores of 190-200 comfortably, thanks to our hard work. After our first over, I advised Saim to take advantage of the field placements, as I did. Achieving 190 on this pitch was great.<\/p>\n Interviewer:<\/strong> This is the first time a Pakistani team has won two matches in Pool A, and the future looks promising for the Super 8. What\u2019s the team’s mindset going into the crucial match on the 15th?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> Winning two games gives us confidence, and we\u2019re feeling good. This upcoming match isn\u2019t daunting. We\u2019ve faced them before and have a fresh approach this time. You\u2019ve seen how we\u2019ve fought through tough moments, with players like Shadab and Nawaz contributing runs. We hope the fans enjoy our performance against them.<\/p>\n Interviewer:<\/strong> You dominated the powerplay with some big hits. What\u2019s your strategy for the middle overs? And are you looking up to any global batsmen for inspiration?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> Yes, as an opener, making runs in the powerplay is essential. If we maximize that, it puts pressure on the opposing team. Both Sam and I have the same goal: to score over 60 runs in the powerplay, just as we did previously. I also ask Babar for advice on taking innings to the next level, hoping to convert those scores even higher in the future.<\/p>\n Interviewer:<\/strong> The next match against India is significant. With the recent discussions suggesting a shift in balance, do you have a message for India?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> I\u2019d say that during the last Asia Cup, we didn\u2019t have a one-sided game. We fought hard and stayed competitive until the end. We’re looking forward to putting on a good show this time as well.<\/p>\n Interviewer:<\/strong> You\u2019ve performed well in previous matches. Do you think this pitch was good for batting? Are you planning to replicate your earlier performances against India?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> The pitch was favorable, but their bowling was also strong, so scoring runs required aggressive play. Both Sam and I have similar roles in the team, and we\u2019re prepping for the challenge ahead. We expect a good match.<\/p>\n Interviewer:<\/strong> You\u2019ve had successful innings against India in the past. How does that experience boost your confidence for the upcoming game?<\/p>\n Sahibzada Farhan:<\/strong> Making runs definitely builds confidence. Given my recent performances, I feel ready. We\u2019ll treat the match as a regular game and not let the \u2018India-Pakistan\u2019 label weigh us down. We’re focused on playing our best.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sahibzada Farhan on the Upcoming Match Against India Interviewer: How was the pitch during your last game, and were the 190 runs a challenge for the USA?
