Hafeez backs bowlers to lead Pakistan to glory

MOHALI (AFP) M Hafeez is confident Pakistan can overcome India when the arch-rivals meet in the World Cup semi-finals on Wednesday thanks to the "strongest bowling attack in the world". Pakistan, the 1992 champions, possess a bowling line-up for pretty much all conditions despite missing the new ball duo of Mohammad Aamer and Mohammad Asif, both banned following last year's spot-fixing scandal in England. "We believe that we have the strongest bowling attack in the world at the moment," said Hafeez on Saturday. "That is the key. Our bowling is our strength and our batsmen are just supporting them in whatever way is required."
