Legendary Test batsman de Silva said Thursday that Pakistan has the firepower to go all the way in the 14-nation tournament.

"I think Pakistan are capable of winning the World Cup," said de Silva, who was one of the architects of Sri Lanka's 1996 World Cup triumph. "Their team has some good players but what Pakistan needs is to have more consistency in their game. I think if they can do that then they will have a very good chance of winning the title," he added.
