The final ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 warm-up game will feature a showdown between Pakistan and Australia on Tuesday at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium. On Friday, Australia’s match against the Netherlands ended in a no-result, while Pakistan was defeated by New Zealand by 5 wickets.
The New Zealand team defeated Pakistan by five wickets in their opening game. The team’s bowling performance against Australia will be something captain Babar Azam is looking for.
Australia, on the other hand, would aim to play against Pakistan with precision to boost its confidence before the championship match. Against Pakistan, the team’s captain, Pat Cummins, will be praying that both the bat and the ball performance can hold up.
Pakistan likely used its starting batting order during its most recent game. The favored pairing appears to be Abdullah Shafique and Imam ul Haq, with Fakhar Zaman serving as a backup. Pakistan may decide to rest one of the hitters in order to give Fakhar Zaman an opportunity to assert himself as well.
While Saud Shakeel made an impression in the middle with his power, Babar and Rizwan both played lengthy innings. Players like Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Fakhar Zaman, or even Mohammad Nawaz who didn’t bat much in the previous game would be given the opportunity to spend some time in the middle.
Shaheen Afridi’s addition to the bowling lineup will likely cause a minor adjustment to the lineup, but overall Pakistan won’t try to overexpose its bowlers to Australia’s hitters. In the lead-up to their World Cup 2023 opening match, the real test will be to determine which spinner can establish a rhythm.
Pakistan
Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Haris Rauf, Mohammad Wasim, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abdullah Shafique, Shabad Khan, Imam-ul-Haq, and Agha Salman.
Australia makes no apologies for the fact that they view their World Cup pre-tournament games as a mere formality. No attempt was made to exert any effort or to mimic any match-like circumstances.
The Australians have been in India for quite some time, and just a week ago, they competed in three arduous matches against India. Given the circumstances, they are used to them and will likely approach their encounter against Pakistan in a similar way to how they did their previous one.
Marcus Stoinis, Josh Inglis, Pat Cummins, and Alex Carey could all find themselves batting in the top order. Most likely, there will be a wide variety of bowling games available so that everyone may practice rolling their arm over.
Australia
Pat Cummins (c), Alex Carey (wk), David Warner, Marcus Stoinis, Marnus Labuschagne, Adam Zampa, Steve Smith, Mitchell Marsh, Cameron Green, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc.
