Pakistan looks in good shape for the World Cup. Captain of the team Shahid Afridi looks in a positive frame of mind.
Pakistan teams overall performance in previous World Cups is good. Pakistan has played 56 matches in all World Cups, won 30 and has lost 24 while two matches had no result. Pakistan has never played against Kenya in the World Cup, whereas against Canada, Pakistan has only played once and has won that match. Against Australia, green shirts have won three matches out of seven matches. The 1992 Champion has won all the matches (six) against Sri Lanka in the World Cups, whereas against New Zealand, Pakistan has lost only one match in seven games. This record shows that Pakistan has very good chances of qualifying for the quarterfinals. I just hope that the team management has various game plans for the matches.
