It’s a
game, not a war: Waqar on possible India-Pak semifinal

Dhaka: With a
mouth-watering World Cup semifinal clash between India and Pakistan
a distinct possibility, Pakistan coach Waqar Younis Wednesday said
it should be taken as a game and not a war.
“It is a game and not a war,” Younis told mediapersons here.
With Pakistan already through to the last four, the clash between
the two arch rivals would depend on whether India manages to get
past Australia in the second quarterfinal at Ahmedabad Thursday.
When reminded that Pakistan has had a poor World Cup record against
India, he replied: “Everybody is beatable. Any team can play well on
a given day.”
Asked about emotions back home, Waqar appealed to the people to pray
for the team.
“Emotion is part of the game. In India there is more emotion. The
nation (Pakistan) should pray for us and have confidence in the
players.”
"We don’t know yet whom we will play in the semifinal. We will watch
tomorrow’s game closely,” he added.
