Australia vs Pakistan, Cricket World Cup 2023 match Highlights:
Another ones goes down and Pakistan are noe only one wicket away from a win. Pakistan need 67 runs in 31 balls, which is an uphill task for the side with tailenders at the crease.
A four-wicket haul for Adam Zampa. He gets Mohammad Nawaz stumped on his final delivery of the game to end with a four-wicket haul. Zampa returns 4 for 53 in 10 overs. What an impressive spell from the leggie!
Usama Mir is gone! Australia are slowly and gradually marching towards the victory line. It was a rushing shot ball and Mir hit it right into the hands of fine leg fielder.
Mohammad Rizwan is out LBW at the score of 46. This might be the game for Australia as Pakistan are six down with the asking rate above 10. This is an extremely tough chase for them now.
That's a big-big wicket for Australia and it comes at a right time from their point of view. Adam Zampa has got the wicket of Iftikhar Ahmed. It was a good review for an LBW by Australia. Pakistan, who need 99 runs in 67 balls, are heavily dependent on Mohammed Rizwan now.
A 13-run over from Marcus Stoinis and Pakistan are truly back in the game. Iftikhar Ahmed began the over with a six before Mohammad Rizwan hit a four on the third ball of the over. Pakistan need 103 runs in 72 balls now, seems quite possible from here.
Slightly short from Pat Cummins and Iftikhar Ahmed swept it over the backward square leg region for a six. Two balls later, Iftikhar hit another six on the bowling of Pat Cummins. Pakistan can breathe some air now as it was a 14-run over.
34.2 - Another good catch from Australia and Saud Shakeel is gone. Australia are making the difference felt with their fielding. Shakeel top-edged the Pat Cummins delivery and Marcus Stoinis took a brilliant catch running towards his right shoulder around the cover region.
A beautiful scoop shot from Saud Shakeel on the final ball of the over of Mitchell Starc and the ball goes away for a four. It bounced right before the fine leg fence before crossing the rope. Nine runs came off the over.
Mohammad Rizwan dances down the track this time on the bowling of Glenn Maxwell. With the mid-off up, Rizwan just needed to get the ball over the 30-yard circle and he did that with ease. Pakistan are aiming to accelerate now.
Mohammad Rizwan finally hits the ball in the gap and he will get four runs for it. It was a back of the length delivery from Mitchell Starc and Rizwan pulled it around the mid-wicket region for the boundary. Pakistan are alive in the chase.
That is a terrific catch from Pat Cummins at mid-wicket and Babar Azam is out. The Pakistan skipper departs at the score of 18. It was slightly short from Adam Zampa and Babar tried to hit it from the backfoot, but Cummins' brilliant grab sends Babar packing. Australia are on top!
Marcus Stoinis also claimed the wicket of Imam-ul-Haq to send Pakistan two down in the chase of 368 runs. Pakistan are now totally dependent on the pair of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan - two of their best batters - to keep them alive in the hunt.
Only three runs came off the over of Mitchell Starc previously and Marcus Stoinis here gets the reward for it. He has got the wicket of Abdullah Shafique. It was a short ball and Shafique wanted to pull it but edged it high in the air before Glenn Maxwell at mid-wicket took a comfortable catch.
AUS vs PAK Live Score: Fifties for Imam and Shafique!
Both Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique have slammed half-centuries. Pakistan are in cruise control at the moment. The only thing concerning them now is the asking rate which has gone past 8. Their openers need to charge now to stay in the hunt.
This is now a solid start for Pakistan. The duo of Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique have added 100 runs for the opening wicket. Pakistan just need to increase their scoring rate now to hold an edge in the chase.
Nothing seems to be troubling both the Pakistan openers - Abdullah Shafique and Imam-ul-Haq - at the moment. The duo has already provided Pakistan a solid start. Now, what it needs is to keep an eye on the asking rate.
Strong finish from Pakistan after Australia's mammoth start! From 259/1 in 33.5 overs to 367/9 in 50. 5 wickets for Shaheen, Rauf ends with three in the bag as well. Can Pakistan chase this down? Stay tuned to find out.
Rizwan with a confident appeal for caught behind! No one else was interested. Babar takes the DRS eventually and the replays show there was a clear spike. Hit on the gloves. Inglis has to walk back
Another excellent over from Mir! It seems that Australia lost the wickets when they were about to unleast a counter attack on Pakistan. The two wickets have taken some steam out of their innings
Shaheen strikes twice in as many balls. He will be on a hat-trick in the next over. Usama Mir takes a good catch at fine leg to dismiss Marsh. On the very next ball, Babar settles down to take a good catch at mid-off.
Dropped once again, this time by Abdullah Shafique at midwicket! Pakistan's fielding has been abysmal to say the least. You can't win matches like this. Gives away a boundary as well. Seems to have injured his finger, and he's going off
