Pakistan cricket news
Pakistan expectedly made short work of the United Arab Emirates in their Pool B game with an emphatic 129-run win to increase their tally to four points in as many games.
They now play South Africa in Auckland on Saturday in a crunch match in which their qualification for the quarter-finals will largely depend.
Waqar said the two wins after two losses -- the first win was against Zimbabwe on Sunday -- gave the team much-needed confidence.
"Look it (win) definitely changed the body language of the players because a win always make you feel comfortable and confident, but I still feel that we need to win against a bigger team like South Africa to tell the world that we are around," said Waqar.
Waqar agreed Pakistan were not looking as commanding as South Africa who have posted back-to-back 400-plus totals in their last two wins.
"Maybe you might be thinking that we are not playing well but we are missing two of our key players," said Waqar of Saeed Ajmal and Mohammad Hafeez -- both suspended for illegal bowling actions.
