Pakistan, Feb. 22 -- Pakistan fast bowler Haris Rauf rebuffed the notion of any added pressure ahead of the high-stakes clash against India.

Pakistan are set to face arch-rivals India in a Champions Trophy blockbuster on Sunday in front of a sell-out Dubai crowd knowing that another defeat will virtually end their title defence.

Speaking to the media outside the Dubai Stadium before a training session, Rauf insisted Pakistan were not thinking about it, saying that the team was focused and confident. The Greenshirts were well beaten by New Zealand by 60 runs in the opening game of the ODI competition in Karachi and realistically need to beat favourites India to stay in the hunt for a semi-final spot in the eight-nation tournament.
