Salaam Cricket 2021: Don't think any player thinks about India-Pakistan World Cup record, says Wasim Akram

Salaam Cricket 2021: Former Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram said it's important for both India and Pakistan to focus on the job in hand when they step out on the field during the much-anticipated T20 World Cup 2021 meeting in Dubai on Sunday.

Legendary Pakistan fast bowler Wasim Akram played down the importance of history and head-to-head records between India and Pakistan at the World Cup, saying it will hardly matter to players from both sides. Speaking at Salaam Cricket 2021 in Dubai, Wasim Akram said it's only the job of a statistician to keep numbers in mind but players will be focused on the job in hand when they step out on the field in what always promises to be a hugely anticipated contest between the arch-rivals.

Akram's comments came ahead of India's T20 World Cup 2021 opener against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday. Having won both their warm-up matches, India will look to extend their perfect record against Pakistan in the showpiece event.
