Pakistan along with India, South Africa and the West Indies will feature in group B in the eight-team competition
"This is a tournament the top eight teams are playing, so no team is an easy team here. You have to take every game as a tough game. Top eight teams, you never know who's going to beat who. So you need to be 100 percent all the time. You can't relax in this sort of tournament," Misbah said at the press conference.
"Every game is important. Coming into this tournament, I think the first two games are more so important for us because the last game, you may know if you are in or out of the tournament.
"Obviously playing against India is always important because of the interest of people back there in India and Pakistan, all over the world I think, huge fan club for these two teams, so it's really important for us to play well in that game and just win," he said.
