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.
