Australia is not at the best of their form, but still, they have an advantage over Pakistan. Australian team has psychological pressure on Pakistan, and the chances are that this pressure will work in the favour of the Aussies.  As far as the warmup match is concerned, it should not be considered a standard to check team preparation for the match, although it was a close match. Pakistan can take advantage of Australia's poor start in the World Cup and try to pressure Australia early on in the match.

Run scoring in M Chinnaswamy Stadium Bengaluru is easy because of the quick outfield and smaller boundaries. The pitch is somewhat flat and has some assistance for the spinners. A target of 300+ will be a par score on this wicket. Team Bowling First has won 20 out of 38 matches played.

The betting odds are in favour of Australia.

My bet is on Pakistan to win against Australia though it won't be easy since both teams are under a lot of pressure after recent losses. Both teams are pretty weak in the batting and bowling departments.

Whoever bats first could have the advantage since this is a high scoring pitch and chasing increases the pressure basically.

Today's match is between Pakistan and Australia which is the 18th match of the World Cup tournament. Pakistan has won two matches out of the first three matches and is in a good position in the points table while Australia is not in a good position in the table after losing two matches out of the first three matches. Going by the performance of Australia in the last three matches of the World Cup tournament, Pakistan will undoubtedly be ahead in this match. I can't find any consistency in this Australian team, you can't say what they are playing in this tournament. They came to the World Cup 2023 with an experienced team but they could not perform well in a single match. My bet will be for Pakistan in this match against Australia, hope Pakistan can win this match.

Yes, Australia is favourite to win this match because the pitch and small boundaries are supportive to him and they have the best bowlers and batting. While Pakistan is struggling in the spin department Shadab Khan is not performing well they only picked 2 wickets in 3 matches and Muhammad Nawaz also picked 2 wickets in 3 matches. Pakistan and Australia played 10 times in the World Cup and 4 times Pakistan won and Australia won 6 times. Pakistan has winning 2 matches in 3 World Cup match and Australia won 1 match in 3 matches. Babar Azam Odi Record against Australia is very outstanding they scored 588 runs in 9 innings and scored 3 fifties and 2 Century. If Pakistan set a target of 300 plus runs then they have very strong chances to win against Australia.

Pakistan's team can't play while they are in pressure. We have an example of Asia Cup while they were playing with India and one the ICC World Cup match with India. We saw the Pakistani team got much pressure. Therefore they didn't able to beat the opposite team. By the way this is cricket and any thind can happen at anytime.

You are right, I see Pakistan slightly ahead to win today's match. Australia has many very good players, but currently they are not performing well. Pakistan favorite team from Australia as per current time. Today's match is expected to be a competitive match. Pakistan has performed very poorly in 1 of the last 3 matches. Which performed poorly against the strong team India, because India is very strong at their home ground. Australia on the other hand had a poor performance against India and worse against South Africa. It is very difficult to accurately predict who will win today's match. But Pakistan team is favorite to win today's match.

Haha i freaking loved it, good on the umpire as he knew the bowler deliberately bowled a negative leg side line. How many times do you see the batter getting angry when the bowler bowling a wide? I reckon, never lol.

So happy for the king it was a full wholesome moment tbh. Indians are going strong and i really hope no brain fade moment in the knockouts.

His face and that expression when the wide was deliberately bowled was of sheer frustration. The umpire did the right thinking in not calling it a wide. If he did called it a wide still there were few runs left for Kohli to hit a 4 or a 6 to complete his century.

The Indian team is so different in this ICC contest than they were in the past. Not only the atting but in bowling and fielding they have been way above an average Indian player. Not to forget Rohit's captaincy has been very calculative, agressive and to the point.

Tbh last 24 run chase turned the boring match into an exciting one. Rahul running doubles like crazy and denying the singles. The umpire not giving wide lol but it turned out that Kettleborough followed the new ICC's rule, which is in favor of the bowling side but last night it kinda helped the batter. Bit of shithousery as well but in a good way.

So far so good but my fingers are crossed because I've seen this movie so many times and for me, the main battle starts in the knockouts.

[jasonjm]

Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first. One change for Pakistan: Usama is in for Shabdab. Looks like a batting surface, and we will see some early movement for the seamers in the first 10 to 15 overs. Usama will surely strengthen the spin bowing. It will be an interesting contest.
Will it be a thriller or another one-sided match? only time will tell.

Interesting fact: Each of the last six ODI World Cup matches between these two has been won by the side that lost the toss. (ESPN Cricinfo)

In this Pakistan vs Australia match, Pakistan team decided to bowl the toss win. Today's match between the two teams has the highest probability of winning in Australia according to various betting tips. But if Pakistan team can bowl well from the start against Australia today, I believe they can keep Australia under pressure. If the Pakistan team can keep Australia under pressure then the number of runs will surely be less and Pakistan will not have to be under much pressure to complete the Australia target later on. And if Pakistan team has a bad bowling performance against Australia today like other matches then surely something bad will await them at the end of the match. Pakistan have lost one match and won two in three matches so far, so they will need to perform well against Australia if they want to win for the third time today. If Pakistan team can do everything well then surely they can beat Australia today. And if Australia can put up a big score today like in the warm-up match then it will be very difficult for Pakistan to win the match.

Australia must win today's match if they want to qualify for the semi-finals. The team started the World Cup journey by losing the first two matches. Despite winning the last match against Sri Lanka, Australia's performance is still quite weak. The main weakness of both Australia and Pakistan is the erratic performance of the batsmen. This is why it is very difficult to make predictions about today's match. There is no way to say that this pitch in Bengaluru is completely batting friendly. Bowlers get a considerable advantage from this.

Australian team has not lost any wickets in 7 overs on the pitch. Their collection is 37 runs in 7 overs. Warner is not in good form. If he returns to form, the team may be able to provide decent targets. If you can collect 280+ it will be a good enough target.

The way Australia are batting now, I feel they will give 300+ target in today's match. After a long time we see a great start from Australia opening pair. The team collected 88 runs in just 11 overs. Australia have not lost a wicket yet. Warner is unbeaten with 45 runs from 34 balls and Mitchell marsh is unbeaten with 36 runs from 32 balls. Pakistani bowlers are not able to do anything. Except Shaheen Shah Afridi, every bowler's performance is very erratic. haris rouf gave 24 runs in 1 over in today's match we are probably going to see the dominance of Australia.

Australia really on fire today. Pakistan really don't know what to do today to get a wicket. Australia after 17 over going with run rate of 8.5 and there net score is 143/0. If they keep on going like that they will defiantly finish above 375. Pakistan batsmen specially Babar Azam must learn how to go after the bowlers. Scoring with run a ball is not enough in today's ODI.

David warner and mitchell marsh are both batting well and the partnership between the two has developed very nicely. david warner scored 76 runs from 66 balls and mitchell marsh scored 72 runs from 62 balls. Australia's Mitchell Marsh and David Warner are struggling with Pakistan's bowlers. If Pakistan can't restrict Australia to 300 then it will be almost impossible for Pakistan to win. We all know that Pakistan has good bowling and the spinners also bowl well, but today they seem to be helpless against the Australian batsmen.

Pakistan's chances of winning today's match are slowly fading away. Pakistan bowler's performance today is very poor. This opportunity was well utilized by the two Australian openers. Australia are yet to lose a wicket in 25 overs and have accumulated 172 runs. At an average, they scored close to 7 runs per over. And if the Pakistani bowlers fail to pick up wickets then it will not be surprising if Australia collect 400 runs today. Warner collected 85 runs off 73 balls and Mitchell Marsh collected 76 runs. Although this pitch is not batting-friendly, the two Australian openers are playing brilliantly. Looks like both will be able to score a century today.

David Warner and Mitchell Marsh have made an unbelievable start. They've set a record-breaking partnership for Australia in a men's World Cup, and it's still going strong in Bengaluru. But unfortunately, Pakistan's bowlers are still struggling to get the first wicket. This partnership is big, and one big reason for it is an old story dropping a crucial catch against Australia. For Australia there's no time to stop, the show must go on.

What a start by the two Australian openers, 200 up for Australia within 30 overs. Australia Currently score is 208 runs in 30 Overs. David Warner  Scored 99 runs in 91 balls and Mitchell Marsh is playing at 95 runs in 97 balls. The catch drop of David Warner at score of 10 runs by Usama Mir is very costly. Pakistan bowlers didn't bowl well Haris Rauf about to score the fastest fifty of this World Cup
3 overs 47 runs. Highest opening stand for Australia in World cup scored. The Previous Best partnership of openers is against Canada in 2011. Australia will look at 400 plus runs target for Pakistan that is very difficult for Pakistan to chase down such a big target.

[Sithara007]

LOL.. there is a good chance that Haris Rauf will set up some sort of record today. At this point, his bowling figures read 4-0-59-0. BTW, Pakistani fielding has been very ordinary. Warner has been dropped just now, off the bowling of Usama Mir. It was a regulation chance for Abdullah Shafique, but he dropped it and allowed the ball to touch the boundary rope. Both David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are batting at 109. If these two can stay till the 40th over, then even a total of 400 can't be ruled out for Australia. Insane comeback by the Oz, I need to say.

[Unknown Op]

My bet is on Pakistan to win against Australia though it won't be easy since both teams are under a lot of pressure after recent losses. Both teams are pretty weak in the batting and bowling departments.

Whoever bats first could have the advantage since this is a high scoring pitch and chasing increases the pressure basically.

Superb comeback of Australia team in today match. Both batters David Warner and Mitchell Marsh are playing very admirable performance and both makes a tremendous dual batting partnership against Pakistan. Both batters of Australia David Warner and Mitchell Marsh achieve their brilliant century. At this time, Australia make 237 scores by playing 32 overs without lost any wicket at this moment. Now Pakistan is in bad situation not single bowler could take their wicket today. Pakistan chance in this match for winning has been reduced. Let's see how many scores target Australian team will give to Pakistan team at the end of their batting inning.

I had posted this multiple times. Australia always perform well during ICC tournaments. If they can get a big win today, then it will really boost their NRR. And trust me, the last 1-2 slots for semi-finals this time are going to get decided solely on the basis of run-rate. The next match should be relatively easy for Australia, as they are scheduled to play against Netherlands. But after that they need to win against New Zealand, as the latter is in exceptional form. BTW, Australia has lost their 5th wicket now. 400 may not be possible.

Well bro it's your own choice on whom you want to bet but if give my opinion to you then take back your bet on the Pakistan team. The things going are not in the favor of Pakistan. They just out 4 players and the runs crosse the 300-digit, how will they chase these runs? There are 6 overs that still exist and if they did just two on each ball then can easily do double runs century. How the Pakistani team will do this, in the last match with India they did not chase a target and were all out on such a small run so how can they chase this huge target? If their batsman shows the best performance then maybe they will win this match, let's see what happens at the last.
