Pallekele (Sri Lanka): Pakistan might have eased into the quarter-finals of the World Cup today but the 1992 champions are aiming to top Group A with a victory over world champions Australia in their final league match on Saturday.
Pakistan defeated Zimbabwe by seven wickets in a rain-curtailed match to secure the fourth and final quarter-final spot from Group A with eight points from five games.
“We will definitely play well against Australia. It’s a match which we’ll take very seriously,” Afridi said.
“It would be another day and a new game. We know how important that match is and we hope to give our best.
