Match Preview
Five-time world champions Australia will lock horns with Pakistan in the 18th fixture of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru. Australia have had a disappointing season this far, for the Kangaroos lost their first two fixtures in succession from India and South Africa, respectively.
The Men in Green, on the other hand, Pakistan won their first two matches before going down to India in their third match of the tournament.
Toss Prediction
In the three previous matches that they have played, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam didn't win any of the three tosses. The Aussie skipper, Pat Cummins, on the flip side, came on top of the two out of three toss wars thus far. Considering the statistics, we think that Babar Azam will finally have luck on his side, and he will have toss results in his favour in the forthcoming encounter.
Win Possibility
Australia and Pakistan share an ODI rivalry of 107 matches, where while Australia clinched 69 victories, the Men in Green had 34 matches in their favour. In the current season of the World Cup, the Pat Cummins led side haven't been able to deliver their best performance. However, this doesn't change the fact that the Baggy Greens are one of the strongest teams in the world.
Hence, we think that Australia will look forward to delivering their best and clinch a victory to extend their win-loss record in the current season 2-2.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
The M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru will host a total of five matches in the ongoing season of the ODI World Cup. Considering the past records, a total of 26 ODI matches have been played at the venue thus far, with an average first innings score of 233.
Considering the data, we think the first inning score in the Australia versus Pakistan match would be between 260-280, while the powerplay score is expected to hover between 40-45.
