Pakistan captain Fatima Sana stated that her team possesses the ability to defeat any top opponent through strong performance ahead of their Women's World Cup match against India on Sunday at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. India holds an 11-0 advantage in ODI meetings between the nations, but Sana emphasized that records exist to be broken, and past results do not determine future outcomes.
The 23-year-old captain explained that Pakistan would concentrate on executing their game plan rather than dwelling on historical performance. She dismissed the significance of their campaign-opening loss to Bangladesh and argued that one match cannot define a tournament. Sana acknowledged the pressure surrounding India-Pakistan contests, but stressed that managing expectations represents the primary challenge.
The captain noted that relationships between the women's teams remain positive despite political tensions between the countries. Pakistan aims to honor the spirit of cricket while maintaining focus on its tournament objectives.
