World cup semi-final is very important, says Misbah ul-Haq

Pakistan all-rounder Misbah-ul-Haq said the upcoming cricket world cup semi-final against India will be very important for both sides.Haq was asked about comments by Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi which implied that the Pakistanis would do all that they could to prevent leading Indian batsman Sachin Tendulkar scoring his 100th century in ODIs. Haq said when the stakes are as high as they will be on Wednesday, individual milestones do not matter.I think the most important thing for any team is to win. I think that even if we dont score a century and win the World Cup, then that would be really very good for us. If we score a century and are still knocked out of the tournament, then I believe that is of no use for the team. It is a real plus point for teams whose batsmen are in good form, scoring centuries and are in top 20 rankings. But as a team it is very important to win. The same goes for us as well. If you score even 20 or 30 and score it in time for the team to win, then it is good enough for the team, he said.
