The talented yet unpredictable side are haunted by injuries to their
fast bowlers, the suspension of match-winning spinner Saeed Ajmal and a
tussle for the captaincy between Misbah-ul Haq and Shahid Afridi.
All seems to have settled down as Misbah's men embark on a mission to match Imran Khan's World Cup triumph – Pakistan's only win -- in Australia some 23 years ago.
"This team has the spirit of cornered tigers," said chief selector and former captain Moin Khan, a key member of 1992 winning team. "If they play to their potential this team can surprise the world."
Captain Misbah, who has recovered from a hamstring injury, is also confident of the best results.
"The format of this World Cup is such that teams have a lot of opportunities," said Misbah, who will retire from one-day cricket after the World Cup.
