Pakistan’s coach Waqar Younis said on Tuesday that Pakistan team would look forward by putting the defeat aside and play positive cricket in the coming matches.Addressing a post-match press conference, Waqar Younis pointed to dropping of catches by wicket-keeper Kamran Akmal and some bad bowling,specially in last five overs where New Zealand struck 102 runs with an average of 20 runs. “We will do over best with some changes, obviously in the opening pair, who are not working since the first World Cup match. However, things will be good in the coming matches. Certainly changes will be made accordingly,” he added.

Replying to a volley of questions regarding dropping of catches, he said,”yes, with dropping of catches by Kamran Pakistan lost grip over the match and then bad bowling further dented the team.”He said that chasing 300-run traget was not that much difficult but today was actually the bad day and the team lost the match. “We will work on and sit together to discuss how to come back on the winning track,” he said. He also lauded Ross Taylor for his excellent batting , adding, “ I must appreciate Taylor for his excellent display, not blaming Kamran and the bowlers.”“We are not going to be panic, we have to play more tough matches like the one against Australia and we look forward to do the best,” Waqar said.

In his post-match talks Ross Taylor said that he was struggling in the first 60 to 70 balls he played but later on the remaining 25 to 30 balls helped him, making a vital century that enabled New Zealand to win the match.
