Waqar wants Aussie scalp

PALLEKELE, Mar 15 (AFP): Pakistan coach Waqar Younis said a win over defending champions Australia in their final group match would give his team enormous confidence heading into their World Cup quarter-final. The 1992 champions eased into the last eight with a comfortable seven-wicket win over Zimbabwe Monday and play their last match against Australia, who are on an unbeaten 33-match streak in the World Cup, on Saturday. Waqar said victory over Ricky Ponting's men in Colombo would serve a dual purpose. "They are such a big team, world champs, and haven't lost for ages," said Waqar of Australia, whose last World Cup defeat came at the hands of Pakistan in the 1999 World Cup.
