Australia Keeps their World Cup Hope Alive after defeating Pakistan
In the 2023 Cricket World Cup’s 18th match in Bengaluru, Australia clashed with Pakistan in a thrilling encounter. Australia put up a formidable total of 367/9 in their 50 overs, largely propelled by brilliant centuries from David Warner and Mitchell Marsh.
Warner’s spectacular innings of 163 runs, featuring 14 fours and nine sixes, set the stage on fire, while Marsh added to the fireworks with 121 runs, including 10 fours and nine sixes. Pakistan embarked on their chase with a promising start as openers Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq notched up a remarkable 134-run partnership, both achieving half-centuries.
However, their momentum was disrupted by Marcus Stoinis, who dismissed Shafique with his very first ball and later sent Imam packing as well. A sensational catch by Pat Cummins removed Babar Azam, further tilting the match in Australia’s favor.
Despite valiant efforts from Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, and Iftikhar Ahmed, Pakistan struggled to keep pace with the escalating target and eventually found themselves all out for 305. This marked Pakistan’s second consecutive defeat, while Australia, recovering from a shaky start in the tournament, secured their second consecutive victory.
In the end, Australia emerged triumphant, defeating Pakistan by a margin of 62 runs. Shaheen Afridi’s five-wicket haul and Haris Rauf’s three wickets provided some resistance for Pakistan, but it wasn’t enough to alter the outcome in this intense World Cup clash.
