Windies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo has dismissed notions of the team losing intensity following a dramatic win over Australia, when they face Pakistan in a crucial match in the ICC World Twenty20 tomorrow.

Windies skipper Sammy blazed his way to 34 not out in just 13 balls at the end of the match, for a six-wicket win over Australia, a win the team celebrated vigorously on the pitch due to some negative pre-match comments by fast bowler James Faulkner. However, with the winner against themselves and Pakistan set to advance to the semi-finals, Bravo says the team has already got back down to business.

"The intensity will always be there, because this game is like a final for or a semi-final for us," Bravo told members of the media.

"It [intensity] will definitely be high in the Pakistan game as well. Both teams are similar sometimes you don't know what to expect from a Pakistan/West Indies game, but I know it's going to be a nail bitter because we are in the same position come match time we will be aware of exactly what we need to do," he added.

Pakistan crushed Bangladesh by 50 runs in the Group Two match to keep alive their semi-final hopes alive yesterday after India qualified for last four with a hat-trick of wins. Australia and Bangladesh have already been eliminated from the competition.

"Coming into the tournament it was classed as the group of death so it is good that we are actually in a position that we have a chance to get out of the group of death.
