FORMER all-rounder Irfan Pathan has cautioned India against chasing a big gain in net run-rate ahead of their crunch ICC Men's T20 World Cup Super 8 meeting against Zimbabwe today, saying that winning must remain the priority in their aim to enter the semifinals.
-
Defending champions India will meet Zimbabwe at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai with the knowledge that back-to-back wins - starting with the Chevrons - will keep their slender semifinal hopes alive, after a heavy 76-run loss to South Africa left them in danger of an early exit from the competition. Their final match of the Super 8 is against the West Indies on Sunday.
“Lreally hope that approach of playing for net run-rate does not come into play at the start of the game,” said Pathan on JioStar.
“The priority should be winning the game first. So, perform well and try to win.
