Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed has said that the washout against Sri Lanka will not disturb the momentum generated by their win over favourites England.
"As a team, we really wanted to play this match especially after gaining momentum with the win against England," Sarfaraz was quoted as saying by ICC media. "It is unfortunate that we were not able to play. We have great team spirit and our confidence is on a high after beating England. We would want to carry the momentum into the remaining games. We won't relax in our remaining six matches."
Pakistan's next encounter is against five-time defending champions Australia at Taunton. "Like other teams in the tournament, Australia are also a tough opponent," added Sarfaraz, who made his ODI debut as far back as 2007 and featured in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand four years ago.
"They also have momentum as they have won their first two matches."
