April 26 (CRICKETNMORE) - Following their success in the ICC Champions Trophy 2017 at The Oval, Pakistan will aim to add the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 trophy to their collection when they square off against two-time former world champions the Windies in their opening match at Trent Bridge in Nottingham on 31 May.
In days gone by, the 1992 world champions would have been nervous at the prospect of playing the Calypso Kings first-up, having lost three of their last four World Cup matches against the Windies. They ended up on the losing side in Melbourne, Jamaica and Wellington in the 1992, 2007 and 2015 events.
Pakistan have a success rate of 57.97 per cent, after having won 40 of their 71 matches. They have lost 29 matches, while two have been no-results
