ICC World Cup 2023: Pakistan vs Australia- Match Preview, Odds, and Predictions on Betadda

The two titans of Cricket World, Pakistan and Australia are ready to face each other on 20th October, from 2:00 PM onwards, at M. Chinnaswamy, Bengaluru.

Pakistan’s team is bursting with youngsters, with Babar Azam, Naseem Shah, and Shaheen Afridi, as their most promising talent. Australia, on the other hand, is one of the most accomplished teams in World Cup history, with five titles under their belt. Led by Pat Cummins, with an impressive bowling of Mitchell Starc and Adam Zampa, the Aussies will be stern opponents for any side in the tournament. 

Pitch Report

Batters favour the M Chinnaswamy Stadium because of its relatively small size which makes it ideal for hitting sixes, while its hard and flat track proves difficult to bowlers. Added to this, the dew factor in the second innings gives an advantage to the team batting second. 

Players Face-Off 

David Warner, an Australian legend, has an impressive tally of 6214 runs in 145 matches. He will be competing against the Pakistan speedster, Shaheen Afridi, who has taken 84 wickets in only 43 matches.
