PUNE, India : Shubman Gill lost a few kilos during a battle with dengue fever but was back to his best against Bangladesh as he posted his first World Cup fifty to help hosts India keep their perfect record intact at the tournament.
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.
Australia, the five-time champions, will face Pakistan in Match 18 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 20 at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, India. The match is scheduled to begin at 02:00 PM IST. Both Australia and Pakistan have faced contrasting starts to their campaigns so far. The Aussies have lost two of their three matches while Pakistan's two-match winning run was halted by a seven-wicket loss to arch-rivals India. Australia have played three matches in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Pat Cummins and Co. are currently placed seventh in the league table with two points, having won only one of their three games. Pakistan, meanwhile, are fourth on the points table with two wins from three matches.
BENGALURU, India : Australia's top order are working hard to set things right at the World Cup and a batting-friendly wicket like Bengaluru should provide the right platform to score plenty of runs when they play Pakistan, skipper Pat Cummins said on Thursday.
Babar Azam, Pakistan cricket team captain at the ODI Cricket World Cup 2023, is under a lot of focus. One loss to India for any Pakistan team can do that. Though he scored a half-century in the match against India, Babar Azam could not lead his team to a good total against India. Pakistan were all out for just 191 against India, with Babar Azam top-scoring with a 58-ball 50. However, India surpassed the paltry total in just 30.3 overs with Rohit Sharma scoring a top-notch 86.
Pakistan players trooped into the Chinnaswamy Stadium on a clement Wednesday afternoon, looking every inch unhurried and talking boisterously to each other, except one. Shaheen Shah Afridi was all business and walked to the centre straightaway in the company of bowling coach Morne Morkel. Pakistan camp might have heaved a sigh of relief to see that as the strapping left-arm pacer did not show any signs of a draining fever that had gripped the team upon its arrival in the City, while engaging himself fully in the ensuing net session.
The ICC is unlikely to take any action on Pakistan Cricket Board's complaint for alleged boorish crowd behaviour during their World Cup game against India in Ahmedabad since the ambit of the anti-discrimination code is restricted to individuals and does not cover group. More than one lakh fans watched the action unfold at the Narendra Modi Stadium and only three Pakistani-American fans were in the stands to support the players from the neighbouring nation.
India vs Bangladesh ICC World Cup 2023: After winning their first three matches, India take on the Shak Al Hasan-led Bangladesh at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Thursday.

The performance of the players on the field will translate to points for each fantasy team picked, and the manager with the team with the most points stands a chance to win attractive prizes.
