Pakistan in World Cups

Mohandas Menon

Thanks to a stupendous run of form in recent months, in both the Test series against India, the Asian Test Championship, and the one-day triangulars in India and Sharjah, Pakistan is being seen as the team to beat in the upcoming World Cup.

But that is nothing new -- the fiercely talented Pakistan outfit has always been ranked as one of the top teams, in nearly every edition of the World Cup to date. Given below is a statistical summation of the team's performances in the previous editions.
