Men’s ODI WC: Australia Has Played Very Well; Batters Couldn’t Finish Well In Middle Overs, Admits Shafique
Opener Abdullah Shafique: Opener Abdullah Shafique rued the failure of Pakistan in finishing the middle-overs phase well with the bat during their 62-run defeat to Australia in their fourth match of 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium.
Pakistan were set a record target of 368 to chase down after openers David Warner and Mitchell Marsh smashed 163 and 121 respectively in propelling Australia to a mammoth 367-9.
In reply, Shafique made 64 while his opening partner Imam-ul-Haq scored 70 in an opening stand of 134 before leg-spinner Adam Zampa picked 4-53 to run through Pakistan’s batting order and bowl them out for 405 in 45.3 overs.
