Oct 26 (Reuters) - Pakistan have underperformed at the World Cup having lost three matches in a row but they are eyeing a winning streak starting with their group match against South Africa, all-rounder Shadab Khan said on Thursday.
Pakistan began the tournament with wins over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka before losing to India, Australia and Afghanistan.
We know that we are not playing good cricket," Shadab told reporters ahead of Friday's game against second-placed South Africa in Chennai.
Our team was playing well before the World Cup.
Pakistan also have a negative run rate to contend with as they fight for a top-four spot and Shadab said the clash against South Africa is the first of many "do-or-die matches".
