Pakistan
defeated
India
by
10
wickets
in
the
match
on
Sunday
(October
24)
and,
according
to
Saqlain,
the
sporting
conduct
of
players
on
both
the
sides
sent
a
strong
message
of
humanity.

Asked
if
he
would
want
another
game
with
the
traditional
rivals
in
the
final
of
the
marquee
tournament,
Saqlain
said,
“If
India
makes
the
final,
it
would
be
a
great
thing
because
I
feel,
and
this
is
not
because
we
have
beaten
them,
they
are
a
strong
team,
everyone
considers
them
a
favourite.”

brotherhood
displayed
by

and

“Do
match
khelenge
to
relation
aur
acche
ho
jaenge
(playing
one
more
match
would
only
better
our
relations).

“In
the
previous
game,
the
way
Virat
Kohli,
(MS)
Dhoni
and
even
our
own
players
conducted
themselves,
it
sent
a
strong
message
that
we
are
all
humans,
we
all
love
each
other,
it
is
just
a
game,”
he
said.

“Hats
off
to
the
players
for
sending
the
message.
Dosti
ki
jeet
ho,
dushmani
ki
haar
ho
(friendship
should
triumph,
enmity
should
lose),”
he
said.

question
was
thrown

conference

Saqlain
said
he
also
considers
England,
Australia
and
South
Africa
as
strong
contenders.

“Jab
aap
aate
hain
to
become
a
world
champion,
then
you
don’t
look
at
opponents,
you
focus
on
your
own
game.
England
is
a
favourite,
Australia
plays
tough
cricket.
South
Africa
also.
I
believe,
commitment,
attitude
and
process
are
in
your
hands,
not
the
results.

“You
should
be
able
to
execute
the
plans,
no
matter
who
you
are
playing.
If
India
makes
finals,
the
ICC
will
be
happy,
fans
will
be
happy,”
he
said.

India
are
due
to
take
on
New
Zealand
in
their
second
Super
12
match
on
Sunday
(October
31).
