Pakistan is in deep trouble, Rizvan is out after scoring 46 runs. 7 wickets down and the asking run rate is now 10.4, this match has gone out of Pakistan's hand. Another pressure match and Pakistan batters are unable to handle the pressure. The bowling and fielding of the Pakistan team today was way below their standard. Looks like they haven't been able to come out of the loss against India. Much needed win for the Australian team in order for them to make a comeback in this tournament.
Pakistan was defeated by 62 runs in this match against Australia. Pakistan were bowled out in 45 overs where they managed to score 305 runs before being bowled out. Pakistan needed 62 runs in 5 overs when they were all out. My bet was on Pakistan in this match and I was a Pakistan supporter in this match so as a Pakistan supporter I felt bad that if Pakistan could have held their wicket for a little longer they could have chased down another big target and won. The opening two batsmen got off to a great start and did more than they were required to do but Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan shied away from the task. These two reliable batsmen needed to stay on the wicket for a while longer.
When Babar Azam and Mohammad Rezwan got some stability on the wicket, I thought that maybe these two batsmen would seal Pakistan's victory and then strike but in reality something different happened. Congratulations to David Warner and congratulations to Australia for a nice win.
