Younis needs to win T20 World title for Woolmer

Just two wins away from the title, Pakistan skipper Younis Khan is determined to claim the Twenty20 World Cup for their former coach Bob Woolmer, who died in mysterious circumstances after the team's loss to Ireland during the 2007 ODI World Cup into the Caribbean. "He was an inspiring person, a father figure for me and the team. We all still miss him and if we win the World Cup I will dedicate that final match to him," Younis told reporters ahead of their tomorrow's semifinal against South Africa. Younis followed Woolmer's advice in their final Super Eight match against Ireland by shuffling the batting order. He had sent Kamran Akmal and Shahid Afridi up the order in their comfortable 39-run win against the minnows. "I learned a lot of things from Bob also he is always flexible, especially in the batting order. I thought we needed a couple of in-form batsmen for big games like the semi-final and final," he said.



Younis admitted that Pakistan be slow starters but felt his side was peaking at right time. "Everybody knows we're slow starters. We take some time also we need some time for ourselves and now we are just two wins away from winning the "World Cup," he said. "I still believe we were 20 runs short (against Ireland). It would be good if we could put 180 or 200 on the board because in the semifinals there will be good teams against us and it's not possible to win all the time scoring 150," he added.
