SYDNEY: Pakistan are still looking for the right combination as they prepare for their high-octane opening clash against arch-rivals India on February 15.

"India has always been a tough opponent, we are not going take it easy. We will wake up that morning in a positive frame of mind and try to give our best," coach Waqar Younis said on Wednesday.

Waqar said Pakistan's win in the warm-up against England would give them a real boost heading into the India clash but warned his side not to get carried away and lose focus.

"Look, these are just warm-up games and one must not derive conclusions from here. But we must take positives from the win. We bowled really well and we fielded well too."

Ehsan Adil had earlier set the tone for a fine Pakistan bowling performance 250/8 from their 50 overs before Misbah-ul-Haq smashed an unbeaten 91 off 99 balls to take his side home in 49.5 overs. Leg-spinner Yasir took three and Sohail Khan chipped in with two wickets in that bowling effort but according to Waqar, Pakistan were still unsure of what their final attack would look like.

"It's difficult to find the right combination. Sometimes you have to given in. We will sit down in the next three days and see. Still, three more days to go for the big one," he said.

Pakistan have been trying a four-man bowling attack since the recently concluded two-match ODI series against New Zealand. Left-arm spinner Haris Sohail has been their part-timer.

Perfect combination or not, the 43-year-old coach, Pakistan's warm-up wins have done well to settle the team's nerves.

"Things are turning around well. I am hopeful these two victories will bring us the momentum we need and will go a long way in the Cup," he said.

"We needed that momentum, we didn't play good cricket in the recent past. It is essential for going into any big tournament. Winning makes players feel confident."

Waqar also backed his batsmen, especially the under-fire Younis, to come good soon.

"Here in Australia, pitches are conducive for fast bowlers. Conditions are tough with the new ball, they are not easy. But we have full faith in Younis, he'll get his form back," the coach said.

Pakistan's team coach had high hopes in young Umar Akmal and 'Messi lookalike' Yasir Shah.

"Yasir Shah is a match winner. He is a good fielder and can bat as well. That's why we brought him along. He has proved himself in the last year's Test series and Umar Akmal we all know is a big talent and has been with the team for six years," Waqar said.

Waqar was of the opinion that it was too early to write any team off from the competition. "Cricket is such a game, what happened in 1992 can happen again. That's the beauty of cricket.

"Some teams are in good form, some are getting into the groove. So, it can be anybody's Cup," Waqar said.
