Here's a rephrased version of Aaqib Javed's press conference, focusing on clarity and conciseness:
On Pakistan's Pace Attack and Mindset:
* "We're confident in our pace attack—Shaheen, Naseem, and Haris are among the best. It reminds me of the 90s. We're focusing on our strengths, not worrying about other teams' spin options. Playing India is special, and I expect a strong performance."
* "We are focused on our strengths and will play our game, regardless of what the other team is doing."
On Pressure and the Importance of the India Match:
* "Every game has pressure. Losing the first match doesn't change our goal: winning and reaching the semis. India-Pakistan is more than a game—it's a massive opportunity. We're ready to rise to the occasion."
* "Pressure is a part of the game. The India-Pakistan match is a huge opportunity to perform. We're focused on playing our best."
On Pitch Conditions and India's Advantage:
* "Our players are familiar with these conditions from leagues like the PSL. India having played one game here doesn't give them a significant advantage."
* "The pitch is familiar to our players. There is no major advantage for either side."
On Team Selection and Strategy:
* "The playing 11 will be announced at the toss. We're sticking to our strengths, which are our fast bowlers. We believe in this team and their ability to win matches. We will not change our team based on what the other team is doing."
* "We're confident in our team selection and will play to our strengths, particularly our pace attack."

* "Pressure is part of the game. The pitch is balanced and will offer something for everyone."
On Fakhar's Absence and Opening Partnership:

* "We'll adapt to Fakhar's absence and focus on playing strong, positive cricket."
On Pakistan's Recent Performances and Spin vs. Pace:
* "Test match strategies differ. Spin pitches were used when they were the most effective. In ODI cricket, a balanced attack is crucial. We have good spin options in our all-rounders. The location of the match does not change the enthusiasm of the team."
* "Our strategies depend on the format and opposition. We're aiming for a balanced attack in ODIs. The location doesn't affect our team's spirit."
On Handling Pressure and Young Players:
* "Creating a comfortable environment is key. We're telling players to focus on their talent, not the outcome. Play with courage and forget about the results."
