MS Dhoni considers Pakistan to be a dangerous team – Cricket News
Geared up for today’s match of the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028, the Indian skipper, believes that the Green Shirts can be a very dangerous team if they play without the fear of
losing.
India have already qualified for the semi-finals of the tournament, having won their opening two fixtures of the event against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Misbah-ul-Haq-c1972 and company
are yet to taste success in the tournament and have been knocked out.
However, both teams still have a lot to play for as matches between the arch-rivals, India and Pakistan, are never a dead-rubber.
The wicketkeeper/batsman thinks that his team usually depend on a strong opening stand, which helps the Men in Blue ease out their nerves.
"We are a side that relies quite a bit on a good start," Dhoni said. "We need some time, the openers need to spend some time in the middle, and that really comes from the dressing room."
India’s opening combination of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RG-Sharma-c2309 has done exceedingly well in the all-important competition so far, piling up more than hundred-run partnerships in both the matches.
While expressing his views about the opposition, the cricketer from http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jharkhand-c800 said that Pakistan can be an extremely dangerous team if they play with a mindset of having nothing to lose. However, the Green Shirts will find themselves
struggling if they take too much pressure on them.
"If their thinking is they have nothing really to lose, let's go out, be expressive on the field, don't bother about the result, then they can be dangerous. But if the thinking is they are not qualified, this is a game against
India, let's win this game so we have it as a consolation prize, they'll be in big trouble," he added.

match as clear favourites.
