ICC World Cup 2023: Australia v Pakistan | Match 18 | Bengaluru | 20 October | Australia Innings

[Devadwal]

150 for Warner.

 

[gani999]

Not sure you can rule out 400 even now. They need 109 in 11 overs to get there.

Cant say. They are unlikely to bring Rauf back, and the others have been relatively ok. I'd say 350 and no more.

 

[jnaveen1980]

151 up. 17 sixes already for the match

 

[hamzie]

If only we caught warner

 

[castortroy]

Had a feeling Aussies would bat pak out of the game

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

150 for Warner.. he gets dropped and then hammers pakistan bowling.. as usual.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Cant say. They are unlikely to bring Rauf back, and the others have been relatively ok. I'd say 350 and no more.

Dude Are you t elling Australia will score just 46 runs in 9.4 overs?

 

[Spitfire]

Daddy for Warner. Well.played mate...

 

[Shafi]

Warner is such a God gifted batsman

 

[SportsWarrior]

Pak is not doing as bad as the score board indicates. Restrict them to under 370 and you can have a chance

 

[7sins]

Bring in ifti and nawaz for 3-4 overs

 

[batandballbattle]

Some of the players from my uni team could have bowled better today

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This is a high-scoring ground.

ABD and Gayle used to feast here for RCB.

Imam to unleash his inner AB here

 

[jnaveen1980]

Even Cummins batting will be dangerous here.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Likely going to be 400+ from here now.

Pakistan deserve to be absolutely obliterated the way they've shown up today.

 

[7sins]

Warner is such a God gifted batsman

2 dropped chances make him also God gifted lucky batsmen

 

[Ali T]

Just tuned in after a busy day of work hoping to catch a good game..
Insane batting by Warner can't believe he was dropped early on.

 

[shah_1]

Should be end of Usama Mir's career in this format

 

[Shafi]

Fat Imam. Mickey Arthur has definately gone soft in this tenure. He sent back Umar Akmal due to lack of fitness during the 2017 CT but has allowed a fat Imam to remain part of the team in this WC.

He knew he will be surely sacked after this tournament,

 

[castortroy]

400 still on the cards

 

[DandyFellow]

Overbowling Usama Mir and not completing quota of Ifti and Nawaz: Babar Azam's captaincy for you...

 

[jnaveen1980]

Floating the ball to Stoinis is the worst thing you do. That guy brutalized Srilankan spinners in world T20 recently.

 

[Devadwal]

First six fir stoinis
AUS 312/3 ( 41)

 

[globetrotter]

Stoinis? Aussies going for 400

151 up. 17 sixes already for the match

how many teams insulting Pakistan for not hitting six in PP

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

If Head was playing here.. 450 would have been on..

 

[Energy]

Get Usama Mir out his misery and don't bowl him again. He's already ensured Shadab is back for thr next one.

Australia will reach 380 easily.

 

[sweep_shot]

Aus - 312/3 (41 overs).

Big over for Australia.

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Should be end of Usama Mir's career in this format

Harsh call tbh, it's batting paradise. Nothing for bowlers

 

[jnaveen1980]

The problem for Pakistan Rauf's bowling. They are forced to use others to compensate for his poor show.

 

[7sins]

Belter of pitch but requires confidence and ability to clear boundaries

 

[ask_analyse_act]

This pitch is a belter. Bangalore is a high scoring ground and no total is safe here.
Bowlers can't do much here tbh.

Understand that, is Pak have no idea where and how to ball.... the bowling was simply trash...

legspinners bowling fulltosses and over pitch deliveries when there is spin on offer... Slow balls are not easy to hit in this pitch , but spraying 150 kph balls.. Babar holding back his part time spinners and keeping it for Rauf to bowl trash again in the death...

 

[Adnan_Ilyas]

What a costly two drops Warner is not stopping.

No need to drop Usama atleast he has a wicket, Shadab hasn’t taken many of them
Lately

 

[vprasanna83]

Keep faith folks . Babar 200 coming up . Pakistan going to chase this

 

[globetrotter]

Six … 400 on cards

 

[hoshiarpurexpress]

Most 150-plus scores in ODIs
8 - Rohit Sharma
7 - David Warner
5 - Sachin Tendulkar
5 - Chris Gayle
5 - Virat Kohli
This is the third 150-plus score for Warner in World Cups; no other player has done that more than once.

 

[kron]

The problem for Pakistan Rauf's bowling. They are forced to use others to compensate for his poor show.

Yea he has been awful. I like him a lot but he was utter bad
.

 

[Devadwal]

Please bring back World Fast bowler to attack .

 

[castortroy]

Bring in ifti and nawaz for 3-4 overs

No

Pak is not doing as bad as the score board indicates. Restrict them to under 370 and you can have a chance

370 lol

Look at the scoreboard

 

[Energy]

Fat Imam. Mickey Arthur has definately gone soft in this tenure. He sent back Umar Akmal due to lack of fitness during the 2017 CT but has allowed a fat Imam to remain part of the team in this WC.

Watch him get stylishly nicked behind in the first few overs. That's his game done. No batting, no bowling and no fielding contribution.

 

[Ahmed216]

Will they drop Rauf for next game?

 

[kron]

Should be end of Usama Mir's career in this format

Disagree. This is an awful pitch to judge him. Please don't let the dropped catch cloud your judgement.

abrar should play though

 

[Nasty Naz]

Usama Mir being smashed to pieces like he deserves.

Worst bowling attack in the world earning a well deserved beating.

 

[7sins]

Will they drop Rauf for next game?

At this form wasim Jr won't do worse

 

[mominsaigol]

Cant say. They are unlikely to bring Rauf back, and the others have been relatively ok. I'd say 350 and no more.

Mate, their making more then 350 lol

 

[ex-q-zit]

Yea he has been awful. I like him a lot but he was utter trash.

He is a t20 bowler not fit for the longer versions of the game. Also does not seem to know to bowl any other way than bowl fast.

 

[7sins]

Here you can only limit the damage by taking wickets and wickets only

 

[Shafi]

2 dropped chances make him also God gifted lucky batsmen

Can Babar score 150 even Australia drop 4 catches? Unlikely. Fortune always favour the brave

 

[NeVerMind]

Watch him get stylishly nicked behind in the first few overs. That's his game done. No batting, no bowling and no fielding contribution.

Hey! At least he didn't drop a catch....yet...

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Will smith & warner bowl today?

 

[Aseem_Khan]

This is bouncy wicket , won't be good for Paksitan bastman against Hazelwood and Cummins, Pakistanis batsman don't enjoy bounce

 

[Syed1]

Woke up to see this nightmarish score line. Pathetic team. Babar needs to be sacked.

 

[7sins]

Decent 2 overs by hassan

 

[CerebralPatriot]

Playing Australia in the 2019 world cup they were 146/1 after the 22nd over and we were able to restrict them 307

Now we are on course to concede 380+

The difference between Sarfraz and Babar personified

 

[gani999]

Dude Are you t elling Australia will score just 46 runs in 9.4 overs?

Ok, they'll score more than 350. But 400 still looks difficult.

 

[emranabbas]

Rauf back again

 

[Firebat]

Warner still sprinting for 2s after 122 balls at the crease and 36 years on the earth.

 

[Shafi]

Pak is not doing as bad as the score board indicates. Restrict them to under 370 and you can have a chance

Lets see if we can score even 150 here. If Rizwan, Shafiq fail it would be disaster for us.

 

[Smbhayi]

Wow Warner, his running is very quick even after 40 over..

 

[ask_analyse_act]

When have they ever done that against a good attack? Never is the answer... and you expect these guys to show up in a WC chase of 350 plus lmfao delusional

Exactly there is no Pathirana in the Aus attack... to score 350+ target against Starc, Hazlewood, Cummins, Zampa is simply not doable for Pak lol..

 

[batandballbattle]

Will smith & warner bowl today?

they could have a mota uncle from the crowd send down 10 overs and they still wouldn't chase this

 

[sweep_shot]

319/3 (42 overs).

400 is possible.

 

[globetrotter]

Can Babar score 150 even Australia drop 4 catches? Unlikely. Fortune always favour the brave

Yes possible, if Aussies bowl like nepalese

 

[imshally81]

Why Harris again

 

[RiyazAsim]

Warner double hundred loading

 

[jnaveen1980]

This coul dbe a good attempt. or this could turn into a colombo chase against India.

 

[7sins]

Why would you bring in Rauf again man babar

 

[Spitfire]

I salute Warner's supreme fitness here. 157* as I type this and still running like lightning between the wickets.

No cramps to speak of like some of the other hyped up legends.

 

[Ali Active]

babar brainless bringing rauf back again

 

[castortroy]

420 as predicted

 

[kron]

Will smith & warner bowl today?

Bigger question will cake boys have biryani after and will they take selfies with warner and Marsh.

 

[Nasty Naz]

Oh look, Mohammad Sami, I mean Haris Rauf is back into the attack to continue getting smashed.

 

[Ahmed216]

Aus need 2 more overs from Rauf to score 450

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

Anything under 400 and game is on

 

[7sins]

How dumb babar actually is ?

 

[NeVerMind]

babar brainless bringing rauf back again

He has to give all his friends a turn....

 

[gani999]

Noooo. Not Rauf again. What have you done, Babar!

 

[Devadwal]

Rauf come and goes out of the ground

 

[IAJ]

How many 300+ scores have Pakistan conceded in 2023?

Haris

 

[kron]

babar brainless bringing rauf back again

Bro who else then aghhh man. Sigh. 6 again.

 

[Spitfire]

Raif continuing the tradition of being tinked for first ball
