"If yoļ·½u see our top order it sometimes clicks or sometimes doesn't click but our middle order is getting runs and that's a good sign. The good news is that we haven't been all out in the games, we have only lost five or six wickets and we have a long batting side until number nine," said Hassan while replying tšo a query from ANI.
"Even Rashid hasn't got the chance to batš yet. So we have the good opportunity against India if we put good runs on boaš“rd we can defeat them by bowling and fielding."
Theš± 34-year-old has added that he doesnāt have a definiteš» plan against the 2007-champions before the game.Ā
"Išøt depends on the wicket (picking early wickets) how it behaves. Our plans what we have though situations going around and we can't decide or we can't say anything before the game but we will try our best be it spinners and fast bowlers," the 34-year-old added.
Thź¦e Nangarhar-born player further added that the key to success is to remain calm amid the turmoil.Ā
š„"We have to be calm because if we take pressāure in the game you know what can happen we lose our confidence and we can't focus and we can even lose the game. So it is better to be calm, cool and focussed," said Hassan.Ā
