Manchester: If South Africa are tagged as World Cup chokers, Pakistan do justice to being called the most unpredictable team in the competition. Sarfaraz Khan's team can stun any opponent on their day like they did to World Cup favourites England at Trent Bridge on June 3.

It was unexpected considering the way they capitulated against West Indies in their opening clash on May 31. In the match against Australia at Taunton, Pakistan were 160-6 before Hasan Ali and Wahab Riaz along with skipper Sarfaraz gave Australia some tense moments before bundling them out for 266 to win the match by 41 runs. Today's clash between India and Pakistan is certainly a contest between consistent India and inconsistent Pakistan. This unpredictability has been haunting Pakistan ever since Mickey Arthur took over as coach in 2016.
