Pakistan suffer back-to-back defeats

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh smashed centuries for Australia to guide them to a crucial 62-run win over Pakistan at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Pakistan succumbed to back-to-back losses in the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 after being thumped by India in Ahmedabad last week. As for Australia, they bounced back in form after losing their opening two matches against hosts India and South Africa. Following their win against Sri Lanka, the five-time world champions saw off Pakistan in Bengaluru. Aus skipper Cummins, said, Great win. Always pretty tough playing here at Chinnaswamy but good win. Set the tone (those two – Marsh and Warner) of how we want to play our cricket. That’s the thing sometimes in ODI cricket. You get one breakthrough and sometimes it’s hard for the new batter. Saw Stoin coming in, hit the pitch hard and provide the breakthrough. Zampa showed his class. He’s a real wicket-taker for us in the middle. Have a 3-4 day break, need to keep up the benchmark from the last couple of games. BabarbAzam said, Were not up to the mark with the ball. And if you drop the catch of someone like Warner, he won’t spare you. This is a big scoring ground, margin of error is very less. Whole credit to fast bowlers and spinners for the way we pulled it back in last few overs. Just tried to hit the length and hit the stumps. Message was simple – we can do it, we’ve done it in the past. Ball came on well under lights. Couldn’t get big partnerships in the middle overs. Need to be better in the first 10 overs with the ball, and better in the middle overs with the bat. David Warner, Player of the Match, said, It (groin) is a little bit sore, all cramps at the moment, that’s all it is. It (partnership with Marsh) was awesome, once we got the pace of the wicket, we were going to try and target their bowlers. For us to go out there and put a performance like that is very pleasing.
