After their last World Cup encounter in 2019, Pakistan may look for redemption against the mighty Ozs.
In This edition, both teams have presented a strong contingent and fans can expect nothing less than a treat when the Pakistani pace attack takes on the power-packed Australian batting line-up.
The Pakistan squad led by skipper Babar Azam includes his deputy Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Imam ul-Haq, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Salman Ali Agha, Mohammad Nawaz, Usama Mir, Haris Rauf, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Wasim.
Meanwhile, the Ozs will be led by Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Alex Carey, Josh Inglis, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, David Warner, Adam Zampa, and Mitchell Starc.
However, Marnus Labuschane’s exclusion from the squad has come as a surprise to many. David Warner’s scrumptious century and Aaron Finch’s classy shots helped them put a total of 307 runs on the board. However, the Asian nation fell short of 41 runs and Mohammed Amir’s five-for going in vain.
Indian bowlers dominated the game completely as they triggered a collapse in Pakistan’s innings. The Babar Azam-led squad was going well till 30 overs
