LAHORE, Jun 27 (APP):Pakistan, a historically unpredictable team specialising in theatrical comebacks, remain in the World Cup contention after overwhelming previously unbeaten New Zealand in a group match which will revive unwelcome memories for the Kiwis.
Pakistan’s comeback six wickets win over New Zealand revived the memories of 1992 World Cup and kept them in contention for the last four competition, said the information made available here on Thursday by the International Cricket Council.
Imran Khan’s 1992 side, famously enjoined by their captain to fight like ‘cornered tigers’, after only two wins in their first six matches, an identical record to the present team, beat another hitherto undefeated New Zealand side in the semi-finals. Pakistan went on to defeat England in the final at the Melbourne Cricket ground.
