Australia recorded a much-needed 62-run win over Pakistan in the 18th match of the ICC World Cup on Friday, October 20. David Warner and Mitchell Marsh recorded brilliant centuries to help Australia score 367 runs while batting first and then another four-fer from star spinner Adam Zampa delivered a huge win for the five-time champions.
After losing the opening two games in the tournament, the Pat Cummins-led side beat Sri Lanka in their previous game and now registered another dominant win to enter the top four of the points table. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered back-to-back losses to lose one spot in the standings after a brilliant start in the tournament.
Babar Azam won the toss for Pakistan and elected to bowl first at Bengaluru’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium. Pakistan made one big change to their playing eleven with Usama Mir replacing the star spin all-rounder Shadab Khan while Australia remained unchanged.
