Colombo, Mar 18 (ANI): Pakistan cricket Captain Shahid Afridi has said that his team has the "capability and the firepower" of defeating Australia in Saturday's World Cup match.
Australia, bidding for a fourth consecutive title, have not lost a World Cup match since Pakistan beat them in the 1999 edition, and Afridi said he was confident a repeat was possible, The Dawn reports.
"I am sure we have the capability and the firepower to beat Australia and break their unbeaten run," Afridi said.
Pakistan won their first three games against Kenya, Sri Lanka and Canada before going down by 110 runs to New Zealand, but qualified for the quarter-finals with a seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe on Monday.
Afridi also said that all his teammates are aware of the importance of the match against Australia and are ready to do their best to win it.
"It is a very important match for us in the tournament and will determine our position in the group, so players know they have to win the match," Afridi said.
"If you look at their matches, they have shown vulnerability in both batting and bowling so we have to make sure we can exploit their weaknesses and if we can do that we can win," he added. (ANI)
