Pakistan open campaign with easy outing

Only a dramatic reversal in form can stop Pakistan from winning their opening Champions Trophy match against an under-strength West Indies here on Wednesday.

It is the only easy match for Younus Khan's Pakistanis in the four-team group as West Indies are without their first-choice side following a contract row between the players and their cricket board. Bangladesh, who have not even qualified for this tournament, put the current West Indies team in proper perspective when they clinched both the Test and one-day series in the Caribbean this year.

Pakistan could not have asked for a better beginning to their bid to become only the second team after India to win three ICC-conducted tournaments the World Cup, Twenty20 World Championship and Champions Trophy. Pakistan, winners of the 1992 World Cup and 2009 Twenty20 Worlds, will have tougher assignments ahead as they clash with arch-rivals India and defending champions Australia in the next two matches.
