However, the team is a group of underdogs lacking proper facilities and a coach, raising doubts about their ability to qualify for the tournament and compete against their privileged, undefeated adversaries. In search of guidance, they turn to former cricketer Akbar Deen, played by Humayun Saeed, who carries his own troubled history.
