AUS vs PAK, World Cup 2023: Follow highlights of AUS vs PAK clash from M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.
David Warner showcased his exceptional batting skills by smashing a counter-attacking 163 runs, while Mitchell Marsh contributed with a stunning 121, enabling Australia to post an impressive total of 367/9 against Pakistan.
Pakistan's Shaheen Afridi displayed his bowling prowess by taking a remarkable five wickets, while Haris Rauf managed to bag three wickets. The partnership between Warner and Marsh proved to be the highlight of the match, as they added a staggering 259 runs for the opening wicket. Warner's century came in just 85 balls, marking his 21st century, while Marsh achieved his second ODI ton by crossing the 100-run mark in 100 balls.
A fantastic review by Australia and Iftikhar Ahmed is GONE! That was slightly full and it kept a touch straight and the batter got beaten as he looked to punch it through the off-side. Played down the wrong line and got rapped on the pads.
Back of a length delivery on middle and leg from Cummins, Iftikhar picks it early and swipes it over deep backward square leg for a six. Two balls later he flicks it over deep square leg for another maximum. 14 runs from the over.

Bangs it short and the batsman was down the wicket to have a go at Stoinis. Gets hurried due to the pace and a top edge is induced as he tries to drag this across the line. A comfortable catch for the fielder at mid-wicket and that's the wicket Australia were looking for.
Adam Zampa, fresh off a four-for, introduced into the attack. Starts off with a 90kmph delivery. Except for the last game, it hasn’t been that great a season for the spinner. Gets one to skid into Imam’s pads. Pakistan gets a run in leg byes.
A steady start was recorded by Pakistan, as they posted 40 runs in 5 overs. The openers, particularly Imam-ul-Haq, displayed solid cricketing shots. He remains unbeaten at 25 (19), and Shafique is at 10 (11). Starc has conceded 28 off his 3 overs so far.
Hazlewood edges the ball cleanly, straight into the hands of the wicketkeeper. Afridi now has a chance for a hattrick, for the second time in this game. Unfortunately, it's a wide ball, veering off to the leg side. Zampa manages to connect with a full toss and sends it towards point, earning a single.
AUS 367/9 (50)
Marsh is out! The ball was full and on the pads, Marsh attempted to flick it but unfortunately directed it towards short fine leg where the fielder successfully caught it.
Maxwell, who was promoted to number three, is dismissed on the very first ball he faced! He attempted a wild slog but ended up hitting it too high, resulting in a catch at mid-on.
AUS 259/2 (34)
Glenn Maxwell 0(1)
David Warner 124(95)
Warner lowers himself onto one leg, preparing to execute the scoop shot against Rauf once again. And there it goes! A magnificent SIX! The mounting frustration is becoming evident as Rauf forcefully dives to the ground, sending the ball soaring high above the batter's head.
AUS 119/0 (14)
Mitchell Marsh 49(39)
David Warner 61(45)
Warner skillfully evades the solitary fielder positioned at point, effortlessly guiding the ball towards the fence. Although it was a well-executed googly, it slightly missed the mark by being too wide and a touch too short.
AUS 88/0 (11)
Mitchell Marsh 36(32)
David Warner 45(34)
Warner faces a challenging moment as Shaheen returns for his third over. Shaheen delivers a back-of-a-length ball aimed at the wickets, and Warner defends it skillfully. The ball pops up in the air, Who will attempt to catch it? It's Usama Mir positioned at mid-on... and unfortunately, he fails to hold on to it!
AUS 27/0 (5)
Mitchell Marsh 14(16)
David Warner 11(14)
Hasan Ali begins the over with a dot ball. The fielder at point showcases exceptional athleticism by diving to prevent a boundary, limiting the batsman to a single run. However, on the fifth delivery, Hasan Ali loses control and sends the ball wide outside the off-stump, resulting in an extra run for the batting side.
AUS 11/0 (3)
Mitchell Marsh 6(11)
David Warner 3(7)
Shaheen is in possession of the new ball as Pakistan opts for an incredibly peculiar review. There was an enormous inside edge onto Warner's pads, making it undeniably clear that the ball was flying over the stumps.
AUS 7/0 (1)
