Lahore: Ahead of the high-voltage tour to India, Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik today vowed to make-up for the disappointing home series loss to South Africa by winning the series against their arch-rivals.

The Pakistan cricket squad leaves tomorrow for what is expected to be a highly charged and exciting tour of India with Malik promising an inspired performance from his players.

"We know people are disappointed at the way we lost the final one-dayer to South Africa and also the series. But we also know a repeat performance against India will not be acceptable to the people," Malik said a day before the scheduled departure from Lahore to Delhi.

Pakistan will play five ODIs and three Test matches with the first one-day international scheduled in Guwahati on November 5.

"We all felt bad at the way we had gifted the match to South Africa and we want to make amends in India," Malik said. The young Pakistan captain assured he had played enough international cricket to be able to handle the pressures that comes with an Indian tour.

"I have played against India and been there before, so I know what it is all about. So I am not going to take any extra pressure on this tour. We had a brain storming session yesterday and we all know that whether we play India or any other team we have to give our best," he said.

Malik said he was disappointed at losing the home series to South Africa but dispelled the impression that his team, still trying to establish themselves in international cricket, could not handle the pressure in the big matches.
