Australia and Pakistan will clash in match 18 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday, October 20, at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. The match begins at 2:00 PM (IST). This article covers today’s AUS vs. PAK
pitch report.
Pakistan and Australia are yet to reach their full potential in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Despite wins over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, Pakistan are still in disbelief after India’s embarrassing seven-wicket win in Ahmedabad. Having lost their previous two matches against South Africa and India, Australia’s last match was a stunning win against Sri Lanka in Lucknow. This puts Pakistan in a slight advantage over her five-time champions Australia, who are currently in fourth place in the 10-team points table.

Bangalore’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, with its narrow boundaries and reputation as one of the most popular six-batting stadiums in India, is an unforgiving venue for bowlers, especially spinners.

Australia Cricket Team News:
The Australian team suffered two tough losses in their first three matches, but eventually won their first match against Sri Lanka. Australia’s batting line-up did not have a great tournament, with players such as Stephen Smith and David Warner struggling to score runs. However, Australia’s bowling was impressive with both fast and spin bowlers taking wickets.
Pakistan Cricket Team News:
There are several gaps in the Pakistan team due to the disappointing performance of players across the line-up. Babar Azam’s poor performance has made it difficult for top-order batsmen to score runs. Their spin and his bowling was also very disappointing, as Shadab Khan and Muhammad Rizwan struggled to maintain consistency throughout.
AUS vs PAK Head to Head ODI Record:
Australia and Sri Lanka played two matches in the World Cup, with Australia winning both matches. It won’t be easy for Australia to win their next match considering Sri Lanka have won three of their last five matches. Pakistan have won her last two ODIs and Australia have won her three out of the last five.
