Pak invokes spirit of Imran Khan
Pak Invokes Spirit Of Imran Khan. Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq summoned up the spirit of Imran Khan and his 1992 World Cup warriors on Saturday as the strife-hit Asian giants look to salvage their 2015 campaign.
Sydney: Pakistan captain Misbah-ul-Haq summoned up the spirit of Imran Khan and his 1992 World Cup warriors on Saturday as the strife-hit Asian giants look to salvage their 2015 campaign.
Pakistan, engulfed by a series of on and off-field controversies, have lost both of their opening two games -- by 76 runs to India and 150 runs against the West Indies.
They are bottom of Pool B and defeat by Zimbabwe at the Gabba on Sunday will virtually condemn them to an early exit.
But Pakistan have been down this road before.
Twenty-three years ago, when the World Cup was last played in Australia and New Zealand, Imran Khan`s team were also staring at early elimination.
They lost by 10 wickets to West Indies, beat Zimbabwe, had a no-result when about to be defeated by England before two more losses to India and South Africa.
They then went on a roll, seeing off Australia, Sri Lanka and New Zealand to make the semi-finals.
New Zealand were defeated again in the last-four before the title was clinched in Melbourne courtesy of a 22-run win against England.
"That`s what you need to do as a player and as a team. That`s what Imran Khan usually says about 1992. Even when the team was in difficult times, they never gave up,” said the Pakistan captain.
