India not on Pakistan's mind

Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi is not concerned about a possible World Cup semi-final showdown against India, saying his immediate focus was on beating the West Indies.


Pakistan start firm favourites in today's quarter-final against Darren Sammy's men at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium after topping Group A with five wins in six matches.




A win over the West Indies could had Afridi's men a mouth-watering semi-final against arch-rivals India, if the co-hosts beat Australia in today's quarter-final in Ahmedabad.

"Our entire focus is on winning the quarter-final. I am not even thinking of the next match, whether it is India or Australia," said Afridi. "We will not take the West Indies lightly. Any team is capable of winning on their day, there are no second chances in a knock-out match. I think they are a very good side."
