Seventh-ranked Pakistan are all set to kickstart their campaign at the 2019 edition of the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup against West Indies at the Trent Bridge on Friday. The Caribbean side has been in good form off-late, having also sealed a crushing 91-run win over New Zealand in their final warm-up match. Pakistan, on the other hand, have struggled in recent times with an ODI series whitewash against England and a three-wicket defeat at the hands of minnows Afghanistan in the first warm-up match.
