PAKISTAN captain Mohammad Hafeez yesterday urged his team to improve while chasing ahead of next week's World Twenty20, saying it was a concern despite winning against Australia.
Pakistan clinched the three-match Twenty20 series 2-1 but was humiliated by 94 runs in the third and final match in Dubai on Monday, shot out for its lowest Twenty20 score of 74. Pakistan's previous lowest total was 89 against England in 2010.
Hafeez said Pakistan panicked while chasing a target of 169.
"There is a concern in chasing a target but I am confident that we will improve and do well in the World Twenty20," said Hafeez of the 12-team competition which begins in Sri Lanka from September 18. Hafeez warned that Pakistan still needs to find an extra gear when needed.
"We must lift our energy levels while we chase," said Hafeez. "Despite losing the third game I can confidently say that there is a happy feeling within the camp and we are gearing up for the mega event. Our momentum is good and we want to carry over that winning momentum. Twenty20 cricket is all about doing right things at the right time and I am sure the boys will do that."
