Greetings and welcome to another warm-up before the main event begins in a few days. This is Pakistan's and Australia's last chance to shake off any rust, if any, before the World Cup. In their first practice match, New Zealand defeated Pakistan with ease. On the other hand, Starc's hat-trick against Afghanistan stole the show during their rain-shortened match. The majority of Pakistani athletes have not played much in India. Australia is accustomed to the conditions in India, thanks to numerous bilateral series in recent years and the Indian Premier League. David Warner has maintained communication. Smith received some much-needed rest in the middle, and Australia appears to be accomplishing most goals despite suffering a sizable loss.
It's throw time. According to the pitch report, everything about the pitch is up to the individual teams' plans, so it should be ready to go. Shadab has arrived for the throw. Babar is slumbering.
Australia chose to bat after winning the toss.
Shadab Khan: Babar's doing fine. He desired to sleep. Even Rizwan is taking a nap. We have a familial bond. As best friends, we are. Our team's unique quality is that. As a team, we will succeed or fail. Gaining is a habitual behavior. We desire success. Excellent chance for our team to gain some self-assurance from this.
Rizwan is likewise sleeping, so Mohammad Haris will continue. All 15 players are listed in the sheet, so Babar and Rizwan may also come out to bat alone.
Australia may have chosen to bat first today because rain prevented them from playing their allotted number of overs in the previous game. However, Pakistan won't be moaning too much because their bowling was elevated to the cleaners in the last game.
Labuschagne exits with Hasan Ali Mitchell Marsh got it! That's it—Pakistan is nine down. Babar had left the house! A wicket is taken by Labuschagne. Hasan Ali gave it a hard slap, but it didn't elevate, so that was well floated outside off. Marsh added the slide and handled it gracefully. Australia wins this warm-up match by a score of 14 runs.
Excellent drills for both groups. I'm sure Australia has tightened the screws that it desired to. The top-order of Pakistan added little. Babar had to be revealed. You played well, Iftikhar. Labuschagne, Smith, Warner, and Maxwell bowled the majority of the middle overs for Australia. They also got some good batting practice with the majority of their batters. Australia would be happy to play a full game, considering that a few practice matches have been rained out. Although Pakistan doesn't appear perfect, when they play in the World Cup, they should be strong competitors. The last day of practice games was today. Therefore, before the World Cup, both teams would have made sure to try out every potential combination.
David Warner: It was like performing for his hometown audience. played with the ball in the middle for a while. Inglis experienced some hardship. I'm overjoyed with my batting performance. in an ideal area.
Pat Cummins: Every frame shows us looking better. The opening match is in a few days. With the bat, almost all of them contributed. Inglis and Green were excellent. After we get to Chennai, we have a few sessions.
Shadab Khan: There are many things that are going well. Although we had a positive mindset, we had no control over the outcome. Playing against Australian and New Zealand teams makes you more confident. Playing here gave us some experience.
The practice games have ended. In a few days, the real business will begin. Moving a bit further south, Australia plays their first match on the 8th in Chennai against India. On the sixth, Pakistan and Netherlands will play at this very stadium. That's all, people. We hope you relished having us around. In a few days, we'll be back.
Despite Babar Azam scoring 90 runs, Australia defeats Pakistan by 14 runs. Aus 351/7(50) and Pak 337(47.4).
The practice matches are over. The actual business will begin in a few days. Australia travels a little further south and plays their opening match against India on August 8 in Chennai. On the sixth, Pakistan plays the Netherlands here. So that's it, folks. We hope you liked having us around. In a few days, we'll be back.
We have gained a lot, says Shadab Khan. Though we had a positive attitude, we had no control over the outcome. Playing against teams like Australia and New Zealand gives you more confidence. We have some playing experience here.
Pat Cummins: Every frame shows us looking better. The opening game is coming up soon. Almost everyone made a bat contribution. Both Green and Inglis were outstanding. When we get in Chennai, we shall have a few sessions.
David Warner: It seemed as though a home crowd was watching. spent some time with the ball in the center. Inglis experienced some hardship. Am overjoyed with my batting. in a nice location.
Excellent training for both squads. Australia has undoubtedly tightened the desired screws. The top-order of Pakistan didn't contribute much. Babar was forced to emerge. Iftikhar batted effectively. The majority of the middle overs were bowled by Labuschagne, Smith, Warner, and Maxwell for Australia. The majority of their batters also received some excellent batting practice. Australia would be happy to play a full game after a few practice matches were rained out. Pakistan doesn't appear to be perfect, but when they play in the World Cup, expect them to be a serious contender. The final day of scrimmage games was today. Therefore, prior to the WC, both teams would have made care to test out every potential combination.
Hasan Ali to Labuschagne, out Mitchell Marsh was caught! All Pakistan has left is a nine-point deficit. Babar had left the palace. Labuschagne grabs a catch. Hasan Ali slapped it firmly but was unable to get it off the ground because it had been fully floated outside. Marsh successfully included the slide. Australia wins this exhibition game by a score of 14 runs. Hasan Ali b Labuschagne 16(18) [4s-2] c Mitchell Marsh.
