We need to recover mentally: Misbah

Christchurch, Feb 21 (IBNS): Hammered by West Indies in the second match, Pakistan skipper Misbah-ul-Haq on Saturday said his team need to 'recover mentally' before their World Cup game.

"Sometimes lack of confidence just does wonders like that. The guys up front are struggling a little bit. First 10 overs, in New Zealand conditions, it was seaming a little bit, they bowled really well, we could not negotiate the new ball. It's always difficult. Performances like that can dent you, damage you, we have some time, next game is nine days away," Misbah-ul-Haq said in a post match presentation.

"We need to really recover mentally and think about our game. This is how World Cups are. You have to pick yourself up, think about your strategies, think about where you can improve. They are in good form, they batted well in the practice games, that's a positive for us. But we need to perform as a team, one or two performances will not win it for you," he said.

West Indies defeated Pakistan by 150 runs in a World Cup clash on Saturday.

India had defeated Pakistan in their first match of the World Cup last Sunday.
