The members of the Indian cricket team in all likelihood will get a short break after World Cup clash against New Zealand on Sunday to spend some time with their families. The World Cup is a long and arduous assignment and the seven-day gap between the contests against New Zealand (October 22) and England (October 29) will allow players a break. Most of the players have been on the road since Asia Cup that was co-hosted by Sri Lanka and Pakistan between August 30 and September 17.
The stage is all set for another exciting clash, as Australia and Pakistan prepare to go up against each other in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday. The match will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Australia, despite getting off to a disappointing start to the tournament, had something to smile about in their match against Sri Lanka. After a clinical display from their bowlers, Josh Inglis and Mitchell Marsh steered the side to their first win of the ICC World Cup 2023. Pakistan had a terrific start to the tournament. They were comprehensive against the Netherlands with the bat and ball in their opening match and took two points comfortably. Against Sri Lanka, their bowlers had a difficult outing, but Mohammad Rizwan and Abdulla Shafique's centuries took the side home.
The Indian cricket team, boosted by some superlative show from Virat Kohli and the bowlers, defeated Bangladesh cricket team by seven wickets in an ODI Cricket World Cup match in Pune. Virat Kohli, a former Indian cricket team captain, hit his 48th ODI century as the Indian cricket team chased down a 257-run target in just 41.3 overs in the Cricket World Cup. This was India's fourth win in a row at the ODI Cricket World Cup and with the win the hosts consolidated their position in the top-four of the points table.
Australia and Pakistan are set to take on each other in Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday. The match will be played at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Pakistan were off to a pretty good start in the tournament. After two wins against Netherlands and Sri Lanka, they were outplayed in Ahmedabad by arch-rivals India and registered their first defeat of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Australia, on the other hand, had a forgettable outing so far in the tournament, besides the victory in their last match against Sri Lanka. A defeat to India in the opening match was followed by another poor performance against South Africa. Their batting unit failed to touch the 200 mark in both of these matches.
BENGALURU, India: Pakistan may have suffered a heavy defeat last week to India at the World Cup but fast bowler Hasan Ali said on Thursday that the loss was "not the end of the world" as the 1992 champions look to revive their campaign against Australia.
Shubman Gill announced his arrival in the Cricket World Cup 2023 as the youngster slammed a gritty fifty for the Indian cricket team during the match against Bangladesh on Thursday. Gill missed the first two matches of the tournament against Australia and Afghanistan due to illness as he was reportedly suffering from dengue and on his return against Pakistan, he failed to set the stage on fire as he lost his wicket cheaply. However, against Bangladesh, he looked in fine touch as he dominated proceedings against the Bangladesh bowlers and ended up scoring 53 off 55 deliveries. Legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar was in attendance at the MCA Stadium in Pune during the match and her celebrations following Gill's half-century have gone viral on social media.
World Cup 2023 Points Table: The Rohit Sharma-led Indian cricket team defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets in an ODI Cricket World Cup match.

Despite the win, India failed to climb up to the top of the Cricket World Cup points table. Both India and New Zealand are on eights points from four matches but the latter has a net run-rate of +1.923 while the former NRR is +1.659.
