Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan says his side are striving to stay "brave and calm" for their second clash with India as the arch-rivals prepare for their next Asia Cup showdown on Sunday. Babar Azam's team crushed Hong Kong with a 155-run victory on Friday to seal their spot in the final four of the tournament, an entree to the T20 World Cup in October-November. The whole world, even beyond Asia, wait for it," Rizwan, who hit an unbeaten 78 against Hong Kong, told reporters on Friday. "I tell players, whether you play India or Hong Kong, it's a game of bat and ball," said Rizwan, 30. Rizwan and skipper Azam played a starring role in their team's 10-wicket win over India in last year's T20 World Cup -- a match that is still talked about on both sides.
