Australia vs Pakistan Live Streaming, AUS vs PAK Cricket World Cup 2023 Match 18: David Warner and Mitchell Marsh slam centuries, Adam Zampa picks 4 wickets as Aussies thrash Pakistan by 62 runs in Bengaluru!
EARLIER: Babar Azam won the toss and opted to field first as Pakistan take on a resurgent Australia at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday, October 20. Australia, one of the top contenders of the ICC World Cup title have returned to winning form after two losses, while Pakistan are on the rise with two wins out of 3 matches played so far. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam would think that this would be the best chance for his team to get a win under their belt against a weakened Aussie side, while the Kangaroos will rely on their big-match players like Glenn "Big Show" Maxwell (who has played a fair bit of IPL cricket in Bengaluru with the Royal Challengers Bangalore) to stand up and be counted, in order to put the string of losses behind them. All-in-all an exciting contest awaits. Here's the preview, and all the details regarding the Australia vs Pakistan match —
Australia Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses
The Aussies have had the worst start to the campaign — losing 2 out of the 3 matches they've played so far. Australia lost their first match to India by 6 wickets, followed by a humbling 134-run-loss in the hands of the South Africans. They've brought their 2023 campaign back on track by beating Sri Lanka by 5 wickets in Lucknow. Their batting has been the Achilles Heel, with big names like David Warner and Marnus Labuschagne failing to give them starts, while Steve Smith and Mitch Marsh have not capitalised on their starts to score big. A lot is expected from their star all-rounders Cameron Green, Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell as well — but they're yet to set the stage on fire. All-in-all the Aussies will want to turn the tide after the win against Sri Lanka and get some points to take them into the top 4 of the table.
Pakistan Squad: Strengths and Weaknesses
On the other hand, Pakistan have looked in good form — barring the loss to India which marked their 8th defeat against their neighbouring rivals in 8 matches played so far in ODI World Cups. They've beaten Sri Lanka by 6 wickets and won by 81 runs against The Netherlands. Yet, they're in the 4th spot with 4 points and looking good to qualify for the semi finals. Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan have been among the runs, and Hassan Ali and Haris Rauf have picked wickets. But spinners have let Pakistan down, specially when you take into account the fact that these are sub-continental pitches and conditions. However, with this match being played in Bengaluru, spinners like Shadab Khan and Iftikhar Ahmed would want to redeem some pride.
