World Cup 2023: Australia vs Pakistan, Game 18 – Dafanews Match Preview

Australia will lock horns against Pakistan at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Friday in the 18th game of the ongoing World Cup. Australia has won a solitary match out of the three games they have played whereas Pakistan has won two out of their three matches.

Australia got the much-needed win against Sri Lanka in their previous game whereas Pakistan suffered a seven-wicket loss against India. We look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form for Australia: W L L W L

Australia was able to come up with a collective effort against Sri Lanka in their previous game, registering a five-wicket win. Adam Zampa was the pick of the bowlers as he scalped four wickets whereas Mitchell Marsh and Josh Inglis scored fine fifties for Australia.

Current form for Pakistan: L W W L L

Pakistan was skittled out for a meager score of 191 runs against India and they will have to come up with a better batting display versus Australia. Pakistan’s fast bowlers have also looked toothless in their recent performances.
