'Relieved' Misbah says pressure is now on Oz during WC quarters

Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq has conceded that the pressure would be more on their opponents Australia when the two teams take on each other in their World Cup quarterfinal tie on Friday in Adelaide.

Misbah led a resurgent Pakistan side to register four successive wins in the ongoing tournament, including one against tournament favourites South Africa, despite losing their first two matches against India and the West Indies.

Pakistan progressed into the tournament knock-out stages after claiming a seven-wicket win over Ireland in Adelaide on Sunday.

Describing the match against Ireland as 'bigger game' in terms of pressure, the skipper said that the pressure would be less against Australia because they are the favourites; they are playing at their own ground, adding that Pakistan have nothing to lose, Sport24 reported.

Staying confident of defeating Australia ahead of their tie, Misbah said that every team is beatable, adding that one good spell; one good innings could change the whole course of the game, insisting that they got those sort of players who could do it for Pakistan.
