Pakistani squad travels to Bengaluru for match PAK vs AUS. The Pakistan Men’s Cricket Team’s next ICC World Cup 2023 match against Australia is set for October 20. The team arrived in Bengaluru on Sunday by chartered aircraft from Ahmedabad.
The Pakistan contingent is scheduled to have a rest day today upon arrival; the specifics of their training programs are yet to be announced.
Pakistan, with four points from three games and a current ranking of fourth in the ICC World Cup 2023 standings, will take on five-time winner Australia on Friday. Australia has lost their last four games, two of which have occurred in the current competition.
On the other hand, the green shirts will be looking to recover from their crushing defeat to India by seven wickets on Saturday.
India defeated Pakistan handily thanks to the bowler’s combined effort and Rohit Sharma’s blistering 86.
India easily navigated to triumph with the cost of just three wickets and 117 balls remaining after chasing a modest score of 192.
Indian skipper Rohit Sharma handed the hosts an early advantage by taking quick swings at the Pakistani spinners.
In the chase, he hit the highest score for India with a blistering 63-ball 86 that included six boundaries and as many sixes.
Following Rohit’s dismissal, Shreyas Iyer assumed control of India’s chase and forged a crucial 36-run partnership with KL Rahul, who finished with 19 runs without conceding an edge.
After being put to bat first, Pakistan managed to score 191 runs despite Babar Azam’s half-century as captain.
The former champions appeared to be in a good position to reach 300 runs at one point, but they were bowled out for a pitiful total due to a collapse in the middle order.
With the assistance of seven boundaries, Babar Azam maintained his position as his team’s leading scorer with 50 in 58 deliveries.
The other noteworthy run scorer for Pakistan was wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan, who scored 49 off 69 balls while hitting seven fours.
