Australia defeated Pakistan in a run-fest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday. David Warner<\/a> slammed 163 off 124 while Mitchell Marsh<\/a> hit 121 off 108 to help Australia post 367 for 9 in 50 overs after getting an invitation to bat. The Pat Cummins<\/a>-led side managed to post a big total despite Shaheen Afridi<\/a>‘s five-wicket haul (5 for 54). In reply, Pakistan were bundled out for 305, thanks to Adam Zampa<\/a>‘s 4 for 53. After the game, legendary Pakistan pacer Waqar Younis<\/a> made a funny statement while he was addressed as a Pakistani by the presenter while standing with former Australian cricketers Shane Watson<\/a> and Aaron Finch<\/a> for post-match analysis.<\/p>\n

“I’m a half Aussie, don’t just call me a Pakistani,” said Waqar on Star Sports.<\/p>\n

It is worth noting that Waqar is married to a Pakistani-Australian doctor named Faryal. The couple has three kids with the family staying in the Australian town of Castle Hill<\/a> in New South Wales.<\/p>\n

Talking about the World Cup game on Friday, Pakistan were undone by poor bowling and fielding which saw Warner dropped when he had made just 10. Leg-spinner Adam Zampa then ripped through the middle-order with figures of 4-53 as Pakistan were bowled out for 305 in 45.3 overs, leaving both teams on two wins and as many losses.<\/p>\n

While it was the second consecutive victory for Australia in the tournament, Babar Azam<\/a>-led Pakistan suffered their second defeat on trot. The result on Friday thus made the World Cup 2023 points table all more interesting.<\/p>\n
