Adelaide, Mar 19: Key men ahead of the World Cup quarter-final between Australia and Pakistan at the Adelaide Oval on Friday:
Australia--Mitchell Starc

Starc's consistent length and his ability to extract bounce almost enabled Australia to defend their paltry 151 all out against New Zealand in Auckland before the Black Caps squeezed home for the loss of nine wickets.
The 25-year-old should enjoy the hard and bouncy drop-in pitch at the Adelaide Oval where India's 300-7 against Pakistan at the start of the tournament is the highest ODI total ever at the ground.
Pakistan--Misbah-ul Haq

The 40-year-old, who will quit one-day cricket after the World Cup, is the rock around whom Pakistan rally in a crisis.
Often criticised for a slow strike-rate, Misbah stunned critics by smashing a Test century off 56 balls against Australia in Abu Dhabi last November, equalling the record of West Indies legend Viv Richards.
Pakistan will hope for another landmark innings from their captain against the same rivals on Friday. AFP
