Pakistan are having a great run in the tournament but Babar has already warned his troop for any compacency. He said, "In a tournament like this, we will have to be at our best in every game and perform with consistency, we can’t be complacent at any stage against any team because the moment you give a bit of margin to your opponent, they will be in a position to snatch the game away from you, so we will have to be at our best."
