Match Preview:
Australia and Pakistan will go head-to-head in a high-intensity ICC ODI World Cup 2023 encounter in Bengaluru. Both teams haven’t had a great start to their World Cup campaign with a few big losses already in the tournament. Entering this game, the Aussies registered their first win of the World Cup as they defeated Sri Lanka. Whereas the Men in Green suffered a massive eight-wicket loss against India.

Analysis
The Australian team haven’t seemed like their dominant self so far in the tournament but the win over Sri Lanka will certainly give them confidence. The Aussie bowling has finally come together with Adam Zampa picking up a four-wicket spell. But the batting has failed to fire so far in the tournament with the likes of Steven Smith and David Warner struggling to find runs.
Talking about Pakistan, the Men in Green had a solid start to their tournament with two back-to-back wins. The Pakistani batting hasn’t looked the part with Babar Azam failing to find some big scores. Similarly, the bowling has also failed to execute well with the spinners not putting performances up to the mark.
