England's convincing 48-run victory at The Brit Oval yesterday means Pakistan need a convincing win over The Netherlands at Lord's tomorrow to stand a chance of joining the host nation in the Super Eights stage.

But Younis, who top-scored with 46 not out for his side, played down the significance of failing to progress.

He said: "This is only Twenty20 cricket. It's only a fun game. It will be sad for us if we don't reach the Super Eight, but it is not a disaster.

"Twenty20 is all about fun, with people hitting fours and huge sixes."

Pakistan were very poor in the field throughout the game and missed a number of catches and Younis vowed to make changes for tomorrow's game.

He added: "The worrying thing for us is our fielding. We missed run-outs and dropped catches, and probably gave England an extra 20 to 25 runs."
