T20 WC: Ahead Of Meeting Zimbabwe, Pathan Urges India To Focus On Victory Over Net Run-rate
MA Chidambaram Stadium: Former all-rounder Irfan Pathan has cautioned India against chasing a big gain in net run rate ahead of their crunch Super Eights meeting against Zimbabwe, saying that winning must remain the priority in their aim to enter the semi-finals.
Defending champions India will meet Zimbabwe in their second Super Eights game at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Thursday evening, knowing that back-to-back wins will keep their slender semi-final hopes alive after a huge 76-run loss to South Africa has left them in danger of an early exit from the competition.
“I really hope that approach of playing for net run-rate does not come into play at the start of the game. The priority should be winning the game first. So, perform well and try to win. Only then should you think about the run-rate. If you start thinking about chasing the net run-rate of, say, the West Indies, that is almost impossible.
