Preview

On October 20, at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, the 18th game of the ICC Cricket World Cup will pit Australia against Pakistan AUS vs PAK. With only one victory in their first three games, Australia has not really arrived at the competition. Pakistan, on the other side, has performed admirably, winning two of its three games. They are ranked seventh and fourth in the points chart, respectively.

In their most recent encounter, which Sri Lanka won the toss for and decided to bat in, Australia faced off against Sri Lanka. They got off to a tremendous start, scoring 125 runs for the first wicket with their opening pair who both appeared to be in great form. The opening pair each reached fifty, but as soon as they did, the rest of the team followed suit, being dismissed for just 209. Even in this small aim, Australia first appeared to struggle. After losing their first two wickets, they later formed strong partnerships and finally won the game by five wickets.

In their most recent match, India faced up against Pakistan and decided to field after winning the toss. With a strong opening partnership and an 82-run third-wicket stand, Pakistan actually got off to a good start. However, with the loss of the third wicket, they crumbled like a house of cards. The entire team was bowled out for a meager 191, which Rohit Sharma reduced to look smaller because to the atrocity. Although he destroyed every bowler in sight, he was unable to complete his well-earned century. India easily defeated the opposition by seven wickets.

Pitch Report

M Chinnaswamy Stadium offers a pitch that can be regarded as a batter’s paradise. Pacers may enjoy some seam and swing at the start but would need to bowl tight lines and length to contain the batters as they might look to exploit the batting nature of the track. Teams winning the toss choose to bowl, with the average first innings score being 207.

Player Picks

Mitchell Starc

Starc has been a valuable asset, contributing not only with the ball, taking five wickets, but also with the bat, scoring 55 runs. His all-round abilities make him a top player to have in fantasy teams.

Josh Hazlewood

Josh Hazlewood is an invaluable addition to fantasy teams with his ability to swing the ball and pick up wickets. Having already claimed four wickets in this tournament, he's poised to be a game-changer in upcoming matches.

Shaheen Afridi

Shaheen Afridi is in good form in this tournament, particularly with the new ball. His ability to trouble the Indian top-order makes him a significant threat. With four wickets already, Afridi is a top choice in fantasy teams.

C

Glenn Maxwell

Glenn Maxwell is the top pick for the captaincy role in fantasy teams for this match, thanks to his game-changing abilities with both bat and ball. While he hasn't shone with the bat, scoring only 49 runs in three matches, he has been effective with the ball, taking three wickets in these games.

C

Mohammad Rizwan

Rizwan's consistent performance in this tournament, with 248 runs in just three matches, establishes him as a reliable pick for fantasy teams. Rizwan is a reliable captaincy option for fantasy teams in this match.

C

David Warner

Despite a minor dip in his performance in the previous couple of games, David Warner's attacking batting style positions him as a candidate for the vice-captaincy role in fantasy teams. He's expected to bounce back with a strong performance in the upcoming match, making him a valuable pick for fantasy teams.

Adam Zampa

Zampa appears to be returning to form, having taken five wickets in three games while maintaining an economy rate of 6.54. His recent performances suggest he might be a promising choice for fantasy teams.

Hasan Ali

Hasan has been in fine form, taking seven wickets with an economy rate of six in three matches. He's shaping up to be another valuable player to have in fantasy teams.

David Warner

Shadab Khan will be a decent budget pick choice for this game. He will be a crucial inclusion to fantasy squads.
