CHRISTCHURCH – Two of the most erratic teams in the ICC Cricket World Cup clash today with a favourite unclear.
Both the West Indies and Pakistan were beaten in their first matches, by Ireland and India, respectively, but based on their form, history and moods within the camp, the earlier defeats mean nothing.
The teams are not in a “must win” situation, they know that a defeat here would dent their chances of a place in the quarter-finals.
Pakistan have got the better of West Indies in recent times, but these teams are capable of producing stunning performances one day and disappointing ones the next, so statistics are not much to go on ahead of the encounter on a lush green Hagley Oval.
