Younis 11 Agaisnt Sri Lanka

Speaking at a press conference here at Lord's ahead of his team's Super Eights match against Sri Lanka, Younis said he has great expectations from his team.
'Sri Lanka are a good side. But it's also a good chance for us because I believe that if we make the right things at the right time, we can beat them easily.'
The Pakistan captain is hoping that his players will be able to counter the threat posed by Sri Lanka's spin duo of Muttiah Muralidaran and Ajantha Mendis.
'We are used to the Sri Lankan spinners now,' said Younis, whose team bounced back from a crushing 48-run against England to beat the Dutch by 82 runs and qualify for the Super Eights.
'I hope the batsmen will play well against them (spinners). Because of cold conditions the ball might not break here at Lord's. But that said, if you play your shots against a bowler like Mendis, there is always a chance that you might give away your wicket.'
Younis ruled out the inclusion of seasoned all-rounder Abdul Razzaq, saying that it would be difficult for the player to take the field against Sri Lanka after arriving here just before the Super Eights match.
'I don't think it's possible for him to come here after 16 or 17 hours of travel and then take part in the match right away.'
The Pakistan captain termed the inclusion of Razzaq as a great sign for his team and said he would include the all-rounder in the playing line-up as soon as he is ready.

Younis khan speaks

Pakistan skipper Younis Khan said nation is waiting for huge victory and he is confident his team would deliver impressive performance in coming matches to fulfill cricket fans expectations."Twenty20 cricket always good fun," said Younis. "We lost to England and now we are in the Super Eights so we must take it easy about this cricket. It's good entertainment,” said Younis in a post match press conference."Everybody follows Twenty20 these days and the good thing about it is it is changing every single over. If you lose a couple of wickets in an over you could lose quite easily. But if you get 20-25 runs from an over you can be on your way quite easily. You need energy whether you are batting, bowling or fielding.""We wanted to be positive and so we batted first," said Younis. "The spinners Afridi and Ajmal bowled really well and they were given excellent support by Kamran Akmal behind the stumps.""Everybody knows we are slow starters," explained Younis "we are always like that and I hope we have performances like that in every game
