Pakistan team players were struggling with health issues ahead of Friday’s big game against five-time champions Australia. Babar Azam’s team suffered a humiliating defeat against arch-rivals India after which they moved to Bangalore for their next match against Australia.
The Men in Green were unable to match the home team’s performance on Saturday and suffered a loss. In the 2023 ODI World Cup against India on Saturday, Pakistan conceded just 36 runs and lost their last eight wickets, suffering an embarrassing batting collapse on the bigger stage of the match.
However, the weather in Bangalore before the match against Australia did not seem to be favorable for Pakistan’s players.
According to various reports, Pakistan team members Fakhar Zaman, Shaheen Afridi and Usama Mir are suffering from virus infection, but the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has not confirmed the matter. No official announcement has been made about it.

Star pacer Shaheen Afridi has recently recovered from a viral fever. The Pakistan team will require its players to be fully fit for the important match against Australia. There is no news regarding other players, but some players are reportedly currently having health issues.
Meanwhile, Pat Cummins and Australia had a difficult start in the 2023 ODI World Cup with two losses before the match against Sri Lanka. The five-time champions achieved a big win against Sri Lanka. We aim to maintain that form as the tournament progresses.
