"Despite all the problems, Pakistan is blessed with talent," captain Shahid Afridi said. "It's because of this talent that we are a dangerous team and can win against anyone. We now hope to carry on the momentum."The 1992 champions haven't quite shed their reputation for inconsistency, as a 110-run loss to New Zealand testifies, and that could offer West Indies some hope going into tomorrow's game at Dhaka's Sher-E-Bangla Stadium.The Windies also have the benefit of having played at the ground before, in the nine-wicket thrashing of Bangladesh, although Pakistan played two warmup games there before the tournament.Victory for Pakistan could mean a semifinal against fierce rival India at Mohali, but Afridi insisted he hasn't thought that far ahead."Our focus is on the quarterfinal," he said. "First we have a must-win match against a dangerous opponent." (AP)
