  • Intro:

    Reaction after Pakistan reached the quarter-finals of the Cricket World Cup with a seven-wicket win over Pool B opponents Ireland on Sunday (15th March) in Adelaide, Australia.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan captain:

    "I think last 15 overs everybody bowled really well, especially Sohail Khan and Wahab Riaz, Rahat Ali, all three just stepped up and not only they restricted them, but they just kept on taking wickets. That's the key. That's what helped us to restrict them on a total which we just chased down easily."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan captain: (On Sarfraz Ahmed).

    "In the first game he scored 49, gave us a really good start, and now he scored 100. Even today it was very crucial to have a partnership right at the top, and I think he delivered."

    SOUNDBITE (English) Misbah-ul-Haq, Pakistan captain: (Question: A month ago, exactly on the 15th of February, you lost against India, then you went to lose against West Indies. Now four wins on the trot. What changed in the team?)

    "Nothing changed. I think those were the tough games, and that was unfortunate that we played the two toughest games at the top in the beginning. But I think we just kept on doing good things, basics, and everybody believed in themselves, keep working hard, and now we are in the quarterfinals. I think it's all about just holding the nerves and keep doing the right things."
