Despite having a poor record in the history of the Champions Trophy, Pakistan cricket team is confident of doing well in the upcoming tournament to be held in South Africa.  

Speaking on this, Pakistan national coach, Intikhab Alam said: “Our past performance in Champions Trophy is not that much encouraging, but the way we have trained for this year’s tournament, I’m sure we can perform well.”

Notably, Pakistan has not been able to make it in the final of the five previous editions of the Champions Trophy.  

However, Alam believes that they are going to South Africa with a target to win the trophy.  

Pakistan will take on the West Indies in its first group game on September 23.  

On September 26, Pakistan will play its arch-rival India. Pakistan has never defeated India in a major ICC tournament.  

Moreover, skipper Younis Khan is also looking forward to finally beat India in a big tournament.  

“I want to change the history and win against them (India),” Khan said.  

It should be mentioned here that England and Pakistan are the only teams in the eight-team competition which have not won a Champions Trophy.
