Match-fixing talk irks Pakistan skipper Younis

Pakistan captain Younis Khan is livid about talk that his team planning to throw the match to eliminate arch-rivals India from the Champions Trophy.

"We have been hearing this talk the whole day and I'm not happy at all. It just adds to the pressure on us to win against Australia against all odds," Younis told MiD-DAY from Johannesburg.

"If we continue playing the way we did against India, we can beat Australia. Our bowling has a lot of penetration," he added. We don't want that sort of gossip or controversy with us in the knockout stage of the tournament," he said. Younis said he had told his players not to think about the result. "We will go and do our best," he said.
