Pakistan are not losing sleep over their poor record against India in the World Cup and are trying to stay calm and live in the present, skipper Babar Azam said here on Saturday.

The two bitter foes may be sharing the fiercest of rivalries but Pakistan have never won against India at the biggest stage, losing all of their 12 matches at the T20 and 50-over World Cups.

In the ICC T20 World Cup here on Sunday, the two teams will again lock horns. “To be honest, we don’t want to focus on the past. We are looking forward to this World Cup. We will focus on our strength, ability and apply that on the day,” Babar said at the pre-match press conference.

“We will try to play good cricket and try to produce better results,” the right-handed batter, who is on a high with two T20 centuries this year, added.

Asked if he’s having sleepless nights ahead of the big match, Babar said: “We have played many events, did well in the Champions Trophy. “The more we keep it simple, the better it will be. It’s about sticking to the basics and staying calm and relaxed.”
