Pakistan captain Younis Khan is looking for "two more good days" in the Champions Trophy as his team clash with New Zealand in the semi-final today.
Pakistan have never reached the final of this competition, but Younis said yesterday the team were capable of breaking the jinx if they played to their potential in the day-night match. "After winning the Twenty20 World Cup in England this year, we are now in the semi-finals here. We need two more good days," Younus told reporters on the eve of the match.
"If that happens, it will be very nice for me and fantastic for Pakistan. We need a couple of big titles."
Younis said he did not believe the advantage was with New Zealand, who had beaten Sri Lanka and England in league matches at the Wanderers here.
"I don't think any team has an edge over the other, especially in the semi-final or final. There's nothing like that these days," he said.
"If we play our natural game tomorrow and stick to our plans, I think we will be through. It'll be fantastic if we reach the final."
The Pakistan skipper said his team needed to put in a disciplined performance against New Zealand who were in good form.
"They are a good side. They are fantastic, especially their fielding. Whenever they are under pressure they play like a team," said Younis. "They have a couple of good all-rounders. Their captain is always fantastic with the ball and now he is also batting well. I think it will be a good game."
