Meanwhile, Pakistan will open their World Cup account with their first match of the tournament against the West Indies tomorrow on Friday.
Ten teams are participating in the event, which like its 1992 predecessor, would follow a round-robin format, meaning that all the ten sides would face off against each other, with the top four teams qualifying for the semifinals.
