The best thing we can do is just enjoy the game, enjoy the atmosphere, go there, play your game, be positive, and that&#39;s the way how it is,&quot; Misbah said at the pre-match media conference.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;I think if you could just go there and play your natural game, that&#39;s how you can handle the pressure well, and that&#39;s my advice to the team.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">Asked if he is comfortable facing India in their opener, as Pakistan have never won a World Cup match against them, Misbah said, &ldquo;You need to be ready to play against any team at any time if you really want to do well in any tournament. It&#39;s not really a question of playing India or any team up first. You need to be ready to play well.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The 40-year-old added seniors like Mohammad Hafeez and Junaid Khan will be missed. But it is now important to just focus on the current players and to believe in them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&ldquo;Obviously senior players, experienced players and good performers are key to your team&#39;s success, but this is how life goes on. You need to replace people when there is injury,&quot; the Pakistan captain said.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">&quot;Unfortunately injuries are part and parcel of your life and games especially. You should just focus on what you&#39;ve got, and you need to believe that whatever you&#39;ve got, that is the best, and I think that&#39;s what we are thinking.&rdquo;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><span style=\"font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;\">The 40-year-old Misbah has scored 4772 runs from 155 One-Day Internationals (ODIs).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\r\n",
