LONDON: Pakistan find themselves “alive and kicking” in the World Cup despite a disastrous start as coach Mickey Arthur warned his unpredictable team were still gunning for the semi-finals. But Sunday’s 49-run win over South Africa has kept alive Pakistan’s chances of qualifying for the last four. Even table-toppers New Zealand can lose their last three and not qualify – a scenario that is giving Pakistan hope. “We are alive and kicking, without a doubt, and we play our best game, we beat anybody. We put our three disciplines together, we are as good as any team in this competition,” Arthur added.
