<p><strong>PAK vs AUS:</strong> Pakistan and Australia faced each other in the 10th warm-up match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 where Australia thrashed Pakistan by 16 runs. A perfect practice game for both teams as they got eyes on their own weaknesses and strengths in subcontinental conditions. This post reads the scores of Pakistan Batters in The PAK vs AUS Warm-up Match of World Cup 2023.</p>

<p>Australia won the toss and the obvious choice was to bat first. Australian batters thoroughly outplayed Pakistani bowlers in the first 23 overs. At first, Warner started the fireworks, scoring 48 off 33 including 4 fours, and 3 sixes. Mitch Marsh was playing out of his zone as he scored slow 31 runs off 48 balls. </p>



<p>Smith, Marsh, and Carey got off to a good start but couldn't convert it into a big score. Good 77 runs off Glenn Maxwell's bat must have boosted his and the team's confidence in him. Knocking 50 and 48 by Green and Inglis led Australia to a big total of 351 in their 50 overs. Haris Rauf was the most expensive bowler from Pakistan eating up more than 10 runs per over in his 9 overs.</p>



<p>Pakistan started the chase with 7 runs per over but Pakistan's top order didn't add much. Fakhar, Imam, and Abdullah, all got good starts on a decent batting surface but were unable to utilize it. Australia were in the driving seat when Labuschagne took down Shadab. Pakistan were 83 for 4 down at that stage.</p>



<p>Iftikhar and Babar then combined together to build a 144-run stand for the fifth wicket. Iftikhar's 83 off 85 and Babar Azam's quick 90 off 59 handled the situation and headed their team to cement a win in a warm-up match. It all went in vain when the lower order failed completely except for Nawaz (50). </p>



<p>Marnus Labuschagne was exceptional with the ball in his hands as he took 3 scalps in the middle. Pakistan were bundled out at 337 runs; 14 runs off the target and lost the 2nd warm-up match.</p>

PAK vs AUS: Scores of Pakistan Batters in The Warm-up Match against Australia | World Cup 2023

pak-vs-aus-scores-of-pakistan-batters-in-the-warm-up-match-against-australia-world-cup-2023

<p><strong>PAK vs AUS:</strong> Babar Azam-led Pakistan will lock horns against Pat Cummins-led Australia in the 18th match of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 at M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. Pakistan ate a humiliating loss in their last outing against India and now it is time for them to hit with a strong comeback against Australia on 20 October. In this post, we discuss Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For PAK vs AUS.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-analysis">PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 Analysis</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-pakistans-playing-11">PAK vs AUS: Pakistan's Playing 11</a></li><li class=""><a href="#pak-vs-aus-key-players-to-watch-out">PAK vs AUS Key Players to Watch Out</a></li></ul></nav></div>



<p>Australia was one of the top contenders for the title this year as per cricket enthusiasts and pundits but they had a terrible start to their World Cup 2023 campaign. Australia straight lost the first two games and were on the back foot at the very beginning of the tournament. First, they lost to India by 6 wickets on a batting surface. Then South Africa crushed them by 134 runs again on a batting surface. Cummins and co. won their last match against Sri Lanka but there were also not-so-convincing performances by the Aussies. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/pak-vs-AUS-1-1.jpg" alt="PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023" class="wp-image-120566" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">PAK vs AUS: World Cup 2023</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pakistan were looking strong and quite stable team a week ago but the Match against India on 14 October exposed their batting depth. Weak opening strategies, an out-of-form middle order, and a vulnerable bowling line-up that fumbles if they start leaking runs. Pakistan have some issues they need to deal with. And Pakistan have shown that have that potential to turn thing around when they are under pressure.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-analysis"><strong>PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 Analysis</strong></h2>



<p>Abdullah Shafique has provided stability at the top when the second partner Imam is running out of form. He smashed an excellent century against Sri Lanka and led his team to a second win in this edition of the World Cup. Babar showed a strong character against India after a string of poor scores.</p>



<p>Rizwan has been the backbone of Pakistan in the middle and undoubtedly has been the best Pakistani batter to understand and adapt to the Indian condition. He is the highest run scorer for Pakistan in this campaign.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Mohammad-Rizwan-1.jpg" alt="Mohammad Rizwan" class="wp-image-120924" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammad Rizwan (image source - Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Pakistan's top-order have to score high runs and prolong their innings if they want to win against Australia. Despite a strong start against India, they fell short there. Fakhar would have been an option to replace Imam but Zaman still remains unavailable for another week while Agha Salman is recovering from an illness.</p>



<p>Saud Shakeel has been impressive in the past but he looks off-color in this tournament and unfortunately, Pakistan doesn't have that many options on the bench. Ifthikar is an explosive batsman but not a reliable one. He is not a promising finisher that Pakistan should have on a stage like the World Cup.</p>



<p>Shadab Khan will be there in the team working as a leg-spinning allrounder and he also provides a safe hand to the fielding. Now, Usama Mir replacing Mohammad Nawaz as Pakistan's leg-spinner is the only change that appears plausible. Nawaz has not been too efficient, whereas Mir impressed against the Australians in Hyderabad during the warm-up game.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-pakistans-playing-11"><strong>PAK vs AUS: Pakistan's Playing 11</strong></h2>



<p>Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Usama Mir, Hassan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf</p>



<p><strong>Full Pakistan?Squad:</strong> Abdullah Shafique, Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Shadab Khan, Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Agha Salman, Fakhar Zaman, Usama Mir, Mohammad Wasim Jr</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="pak-vs-aus-key-players-to-watch-out"><strong>PAK vs AUS Key Players to Watch Out</strong></h2>



<p>Australia will be looking for big players to stand up and take charge. Smith and Warner haven't really stood up to their brand of cricket and they are likely to do so today. While, for Pakistan, expect a big fifty from Babar or Rizwan. Rauf can be a useful bowler in the middle.</p>

PAK vs AUS: Pakistan?s Strongest Playing 11 against Australia and Key Players To Watch Out For Pakistan vs Australia ODI World Cup 2023

pak-vs-aus-pakistans-strongest-playing-11-against-australia-and-key-players-to-watch-out-for-pakistan-vs-australia-odi-world-cup-2023

<p><strong>ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets:</strong> After a dominating victory over Pakistan by 62 runs, Australia are back on the winning track. Warner-Marsh's record 259 runs opening stand set the tone and Adam Zampa ensured that the job was done. With his marvelous innings, David Warner has made his entry into the top 10 run scorers in the World Cup 2023. This post reads the Players with the most runs and most wickets so far in the World Cup 2023.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><ul><li class=""><a href="#most-runs-icc-odi-world-cup-2023-player-ranking-1-10">Most Runs: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 ?

<p>Pakistan won the toss and took a good decision to bowl first at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore. With the tight line and movement in the air, Shaheen forced Warner to play ball in the air but Usama Mir dropped the simplest of the catches. Haris Rauf went for 24 runs in his first over and 47 in 3 and that's where the problem started to build for Pakistan.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Warner-Marsh.jpg" alt="ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in World Cup 2023| Player Ranking 1 ? 10" class="wp-image-121605" style="aspect-ratio:1.3722126929674099;width:1021px;height:auto" /></figure>



<p>Marsh and Warner played at a similar pace of over 100 strike rate and put forth a record 259 runs opening stand in just 33 overs where both completed their centuries. Warner was ruthless against Rauf, scoring 163 off 124, and helped lead his team to a big total of 367. Australia's middle order and tail were cut down for short by Shaheen Afridi who took a fifer.</p>



<p>Pakistan offered a 134-run opening stand in response where Abdullah Shafique(64) and Imam-ul-Haq(71) gave them a near-perfect start. But similar to the past few outings, Babar Azam failed again, and his poor run continues. Rizwan offered a bit of resistance but it was never going to be enough against that lethal bowling performance. All just went in vain and Australia won the match by 62 runs.</p>



<p>Below are the complete details of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Players with Most Runs and Most Wickets So Far in World Cup 2023| Player Ranking 1 ? 10.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="most-runs-icc-odi-world-cup-2023-player-ranking-1-10"><strong>Most Runs: ICC ODI World Cup 2023 ? Player Ranking 1-10</strong></h2>



<p>Mohammad Rizwan was the only hope of the Pakistan team towards the end. He scored 46 runs but couldn't lead his team to a win. His 40 balls 46 took him to the top of the most run scorer's tally. He has scored 294 runs in the 4 innings in this World Cup with an average of 98. Following him are the two Indian top players- Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. </p>



<p>Following his 163-run stand against Pakistan, David Warner has entered the top 10 of the most runs list. He got some good starts in some previous outings as well but wasn't able to utilize them but he did it yesterday. He sits 6th with 228 runs in his kitty with an average of 57.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Pakistan-2.jpg" alt="Pakistan Team" class="wp-image-121637" /></figure>



<p>Abdullah Shafique had a not-so-convincing day against India but scored against the other two opponents. He also joins the top-10 most runs tally with 197 runs in 3 matches. Apart from him and Rizwan, none of the Pakistani players are even under the top 20 and that tells the story itself.</p>



<p>Rohit Sharma entered the top run-scorers list after his 131 against Afghanistan and he is number 2 with a batting average of 66.25. Chase Master Virat Kohli is third there in the list with a total of 259 runs in 4 innings with an average of 129.50.</p>

<p>Mitchell Santner is the top wicket-taker after the 4 matches of the World Cup 2023 with 11 wickets. Jasprit Bumrah is ranked second with 10 wickets. Shaheen Afridi took a giant leap with his fifer against Australia and sets his 4th place in the tally.</p>



<p>Zampa's 4 wickets in the last match have put him 5th in the most wicket-takers list. He equals Shaheen Afridi in terms of Wickets(9) but has been more expensive so ranked lower. Haris Rauf also took 3 wickets despite being too much expensive.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=PAK+vs+AUS" rel="nofollow">PAK vs AUS</a>: PCB Announced New Batting Coach of Pakistan Men's Team Ahead of Australia Tour:</strong>?The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) appointed the former England cricketer<a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=+Adam+Hollioake" rel="nofollow"> Adam Hollioake</a> as the new batting coach of the Pakistan Men's Cricket Team, who will be starting his journey with Pakistan in the Australia Tour.</p>



<p><a href="https://www.icccricketschedule.com/?s=Pakistan" rel="nofollow">Pakistan </a>will be playing the three-match test series with Australia, which is scheduled to start next month. After Pakistan's failure in the ODI World Cup 2023, PCB made many changes in the coaching staff of the Pakistan Men's Cricket Team.</p>



<p>Hollioake has played four test matches and 35 one-day internationals for England. Adam Hollioake will be the new batting coach, who will be playing a crucial role for Pakistan as he will be part of the team in the three-test match against Australia.</p>



<p>Adam Hollioake is an experienced coach who was part of the coaching staff for Hong Kong, England Lions, and Boost Defenders. He was also part of the England Team in the last Ashes series, which was played in Australia, but, unfortunately, he was detected as COVID-19 positive at that time and wasn't able to serve his country.</p>

<p>Pakistan performed poorly in the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023, and in response to it, Babar Azam resigned from all formats as the captain of the Pakistan Men's Cricket Team. Also, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) made significant changes in the coaching staff.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>PAK vs AUS, New Captain and Coaches of Pakistan ahead of Australia tour:</strong></h2>



<p>After Babar Azam, Shan Masood is going to lead the Pakistan Men's Cricket Team in the three-match test series against Australia. Shaheen Shah Afridi will be leading Pakistan in the T20I format, whereas the ODI captain is yet to be announced by PCB.</p>



<p>Naveed Akram Cheema replaced Grant Bradburn as the new head coach of the Pakistan Men's Cricket Team, whereas Mohd. Hafeez replaced Mickey Arthur as the new team director after Pakistan failed in the ODI World Cup 2023.</p>



<p>Most importantly, after the Australia Tour, Pakistan will play a crucial T20I series with New Zealand, which will help them prepare for the ICC Men's T20I World Cup 2024. PCB's decision to make such changes before the Australia series is to get momentum before the T20I series against New Zealand.</p>

<p><strong>Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023:</strong> After some major shuffles in the team's leadership and PCB council members, Pakistan's first outing after the World Cup 2023 is scheduled for Australia. Pakistan will be touring Australia for three test matches which will be played from December 14 to January 7. Here we are with the Pakistan Tour Of Australia 2023 Schedule, Full Squads, Venues, Timings and All You Need To Know.</p>

<p>Following Pakistan's dismal World Cup 2023 campaign, Babar Azam announced his resignation as captain of all three forms, which dealt a severe blow to Pakistani cricket. Shan Masood was named the Test team captain shortly after, and Shaheen Shah Afridi assumed leadership of the Twenty20 team. Pakistan has not yet named a captain for the One-Day International team.</p>

<p>In their twelve tours to Australia, Pakistan has never emerged victorious in a Test series, and they have lost their previous fourteen five-day matches in a row in Australia. Since 1995, Pakistan has not prevailed in an Australian Test match. With newfound optimism, the Asian team is traveling to Australia for a three-match Test series that runs from December 14 to January 7.</p>



<p>Pakistan began their World Test Championship 2023-25 campaign with a resounding 2-0 win over Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka earlier this year. With their 100% winning track in this new WTC cycle, they are also the table topper of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 Points table.</p>

<p><strong>AUS vs PAK 2nd Test:</strong> The last week of the year and it is time for Boxing Day Test Matches. Pakistan are on a tour of Australia for a Three-match test series and the stage is all set for the AUS vs PAK 2nd Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Pakistan will again be on the ground with the motive of winning the first test after 1995 on Australian soil and here we are with Pakistan PLAYING 11 For The Second Test against Australia prediction.</p>

<p>With a 15-match losing track in test matches and no victories in Australia since November 1995, Pakistan approaches Tuesday's Boxing Day fixture. The game is remembered for Ijaz Ahmed's elegant century and Mushtaq Ahmed's outstanding bowling spells, which allowed Pakistan to overcome Australia by 74 runs in a match played in Australia.</p>



<p>Pakistan failed to hold their footing against Australia in the Perth Test. In the first encounter of the series, the Australians were relentless. They outperformed Pakistan in every way possible, and with one more game remaining in the series after this, they will be looking for another strong showing in Melbourne.</p>



<p>Pakistan is dealing with injury concerns ahead of the Melbourne encounter. Due to injuries, bowlers Khurram Shahzad and Noman Ali are out. Ali, who did not participate in the first test's 360-run defeat in Perth last week, underwent appendix surgery in Melbourne on Saturday. Muhammad Nawaz has been added to Pakistan's squad for the second Test as a replacement.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aus-vs-pak-2nd-test-pakistan-playing-11-prediction"><strong>AUS vs PAK 2nd Test: Pakistan PLAYING 11 Prediction</strong></h2>



<p>It was a complete failure outing for Pakistan in Perth. Neither they batted well, nor bowled. We saw one big hundred from Warner and 3 more half-centuries from the Australian side but Pakistan were able to add just one half-century, which shows the difference in the batting form and intent of both teams.</p>



<p>It was a good pitch at Perth and batting wasn't too difficult but it was Australian ruthless bowling that bowled out Pakistan in just 89 runs. </p>



<p>We have seen in the past that Abdullah Shafique is a good batter with pretty decent technical applications. When accompanied by Imam-Ul-Haq to open the innings, Pakistan succeeded in the top. Skipper Shan at 3 provides the team with an aggressive option and keeps the scoreboard moving. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/372665-1.jpg" alt="AUS vs PAK 2nd Test: Pakistan PLAYING 11 For The Second Test against Australia prediction | Pakistan Tour of Australia" class="wp-image-124466" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Babar Azam drives (AFP)</figcaption></figure>



<p>Babar Azam, the best batsman of Pakistan in at 4. He has been a little off-colour in the recent while but you could never doubt on such a brilliant batter. Saud Shakeel follows him at 5 giving the side a balancing factor. He is too good to be a number 5 test batter and just wait for a match-winning knock from him.</p>



<p>For how long, PCB will stick to Sarfaraz Ahmed as a wicketkeeper batter? As it is very evident that Rizwan as a batter has more scoring areas compared to Sarfaraz and more save hands while keeping the stumps, should Pakistan make way for Rizwan in the Playing 11? Pakistan Cricket Board is backing Sarfaraz for his experience and might still back him for the boxing day test match.</p>



<p>Shaheen Afridi led the bowling unit in Perth but he wasn't at his best that day. He was too expensive and didn't pose any threat to Australian batters but he is a skillful bowler and in the absence of Naseem Shah and Haris Rouf, he will make a strong comeback. Aamer Jamal was too good with the ball in Perth. Raw pace, solid lines, and cooked lengths were his strengths in the first test, and would see to repeat the same. </p>

<p><strong>AUS vs PAK Day 2:</strong> A good day of cricket at the MCG and the home side will be the happier side at the stumps of Day 1. It was a rain-halted day where the host got runs flowing with the loss of just 3 wickets. There are again rain threats overheads on Day 2 and here we are with the AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne.</p>



<div class="wp-block-rank-math-toc-block" id="rank-math-toc"><nav><div><div class=""><a href="#aus-vs-pak-day-2-weather-forecast">AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast</a></div><div class=""><a href="#aus-vs-pak-day-2-pitch-report">AUS vs PAK Day 2 Pitch Report</a></div></div></nav></div>



<p>Pakistan chose to bowl first after winning the flip of the coin. Having been dropped down early, David Warner almost made Pakistan pay when he batted long and was removed by the final delivery of the first session, capping a fruitful first session that saw 90 runs scored. Usman Khawaja scored a fluent forty-two to put the off-field drama behind him, but he was one of the three dismissed batsmen.</p>

<p>At the 42nd over, the rain began, costing 15 to 20 overs of play. An early tea was offered. Under the lights, Pakistan tightened up and the batting became more difficult. Nevertheless, Labuschagne and Smith made it through that difficult stage before it started to rain.</p>



<p>The hosts should be able to gain some momentum if they can get this score up to 350 or higher, something Labuschagne and Head have both looked well at. While Shaheen bowled brilliantly but without much success, the other bowlers were decent in spurts.</p>



<p>Down below is the AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne:</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aus-vs-pak-day-2-weather-forecast"><strong>AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast</strong></h2>



<p>Australia vs Pakistan (Pakistan tour of Australia) | Pakistan vs Australia 2nd Test match is being played at?<strong>Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne</strong>?(Australia) from December 26 to December 30 starting at 10:30 AM Local and<strong>?4:30 PM IST.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/12/aus-vs-pak-day-2.png" alt="AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast and Pitch Report of Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne| Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test" class="wp-image-124540" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">AUS vs PAK Day 2 Weather Forecast Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne (<a href="https://weather.com/en-IN/weather/hourbyhour/l/ae4d584276953664e2ec532ce5b74b765e170bd1f8569915d5be1d56688bd2d6" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Weather.com</a>)</figcaption></figure>



<p>ACC TO WEATHER.COM, the weather is predicted to be overcast throughout the day. As the weather websites show there are moderate chances of rain for Day 2. A ~40% chance of rain is predicted earlier in the day and drops to ~20% later in the day. It might drizzle in the morning but hopefully ain?t going to interrupt the match later in the day. The Temperature in the morning is expected to be around 21? C and rise to 22? C in the evening.</p>



<p>Winds with a speed of around 15-20KMPH will gust towards the South-West. Humidity will also stay at the higher range of 80% (around 85% in the morning and falls to 77% in the evening). So, the possibilities of rain are there but we can hope for a pretty healthy and decent AUS vs PAK day 2 of the 2nd test match.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="aus-vs-pak-day-2-pitch-report"><strong>AUS vs PAK Day 2 Pitch Report</strong></h2>



<p>The MCG pitch is well known for being one of the world's most competitive pitches. It gives bat and ball the ideal balance, which helps bowlers early on by giving them a reliable, genuine bounce. Batsmen may release their strokes with confidence as the pitch gets older. Still, spinners usually get little help at this venue.</p>



<p>The pitch used for this contest has comparatively less grass and the ball was coming nice on the bat. Pakistani bowlers were quite disciplined throughout the day. They were able to find swing and seam, some uneven bounce and it's made batting a tough proposition.</p>

<p><strong>AUS vs PAK 3rd Test:</strong> Pakistan are bowled out at 313 runs on Day 1 of the Third Test at the SCG. Aamer Jamal's crucial knock helped Pakistan to go past 300 when things looked tight. What a start to the year Pat Cummins is having! He ended 2023 with two fifers in two innings of the Boxing Day test and grabbed another five-wicket haul on the first day of the third test. This post will lead you to the review and scorecard of Pakistan's 1st Innings in AUS vs PAK 3rd Test.</p>

<p>Pakistan had a good toss and opted to bat first. Saim Ayub replaced Imam, which reflected that Pakistan were going for an aggressive approach this time. But Starc and Hazlewood had different plans when they sent both openers back to the pavilion at a duck. Babar Azam and Shan Masood were in the crease in just the second over of Day 1.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<p>Babar played three elegant cover drives but Cummins found his pad in front of wickets. Saud Shakeel was next and Pat Cummins made sure he won't last long. Shan faced 70 balls and scored 35 runs but fell prey to Mitch Marsh when Pakistan had a 50-run partnership for the fifth wicket.</p>



<p>Mohammed Rizwan and Agha Salman were in the middle and they surged a counter-attack on Australian bowlers. With 10 boundaries and 2 sixes, Rizwan scored 88 runs in 103 balls and a bouncer by Cummins ended the beautiful and savior innings. </p>

<p>Agha Salman also punched Australian bowlers but a shortish delivery by Starc put an end to his innings just after he scored a fifty. Pakistan were 227 for 9 down. Aamer Jamal played quite smartly and scored some handy runs for his side. </p>



<p>He frustrated the Australian bowlers as he scored 82 runs in just 97 balls pushing Pakistan to a comfortable 313 total. Down below is the scorecard of Pakistan's 1st Innings in AUS vs PAK 3rd Test.</p>

AUS vs PAK 3rd Test: Pakistan ALL OUT For 313 Runs On Day 1; Jamal Shines With his Maiden Half-Century

aus-vs-pak-3rd-test-pakistan-all-out-for-313-runs-on-day-1-jamal-shines-with-his-maiden-half-century

<p>To the interest of cricket fans, Pakistan remained quiet in the hunt for a white-ball skipper after Babar Azam stepped down as the white-ball skipper of Pakistan. Pakistan wicketkeeper-batsman <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohammad_Rizwan_(cricketer)">Mohammad Rizwan</a> has been named as the white-ball skipper for the upcoming tour to Zimbabwe and Australia.<br> <br>This was Babar?s second term as the Pakistan skipper, from which he was dropped due to a string of poor performances.  </p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
https://twitter.com/criccrazyjohns/status/1850502453281657059?s=46
</div></figure>



<p><br>As the selectors recently opined over Babar Azam likely rested from the test squad, Rizwan has always been the second-leading player to become the skipper of the national team, especially marking his large impact in white-ball formats. <br> <br>Now, as per reports and confirmed squads released by the PCB, Mohammad Rizwan has been named as the white-ball skipper for both the ODI and T20I formats. While Salman Ali Agha has been named the vice-captain for the white-ball formats. </p>

Though this decision might be considered a move based on his injured status, the player has also faced an annulment of an annual contract with the PCB. <br> <br>Babar Azam, who was dropped from the Pakistan squad for the longest format of the game, Fakhar Zaman went on to back the veteran cricketer as he slammed the PCB with his tweets and hurled accusations as well as questions on PCB over social media. <br> <br>Pakistan will next take on Australia in a three-match ODI series and follow it with a three-match T20I series as well, as Fakhar has not been placed into the squad, which would also have some impact on the Pakistan cricket team.</p>

<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kirsten">Gary Kirsten</a> has been reported to have submitted his resignation to the PCB, thus resigning from his role as limited-overs coach for the Pakistan team. Kirsten term with the Pakistan team didn?t last for even six months as he was appointed back in April 2024. <br><br>This decision was reportedly made by Kirsten after having a disagreement with the Pakistan Cricket Board. Sighting his splendid record Kirsten urged for hiring Reid in a coaching role, however, the plea was totally rejected by PCB as they rather suggested other options for the position which did not land well with Kirsten. </p>

Gillespie has also been in some sort of tiff with the PCB regarding their mismanagement and lack of priority for the opinions of the coaches. </p>

<p>Prithvi Shaw did not find any takers as the Mumbai batter went unsold in the IPL 2025 auction. Prithvi, who had a base price of Rs 75 lakh in the auction, was released by Delhi Capitals but he did not attract any bids from the ten franchises.</p>
<p>Delhi Capitals co-owner Parth Jindal has said that Prithvi Shaw is misunderstood in many ways but needed a 'jolt' in the form of the IPL 2025 Auction snub. Shaw has been part of the Delhi franchise since returning as the U-19 World Cup winning captain in 2018 and was bought for 1.2 Crores. Ahead of the 2022 auction, the Mumbai batter was retained by DC for Rs. 7.5 Crore but the past few seasons hasn't been great for the 25-year-old.</p>
<p>Speaking to Sports Today, Jindal said that Shaw is a great kid but needed a jolt to get up from his slumber. The DC co-owner feels that Shaw needs to work hard, get back the love of the game and get disciplined. Jindal ended by saying he hopes the Mumbai batter can return back to his best form</p>
<p>Delhi has backed Prithvi Shaw a lot. DC had hoped that he is a powerplay player and would hit 6 boundaries in one over. And he did that too. He hit Shivam Mavi for 6 fours in an over. He had a lot of potential and DC backed him to the hilt. We always thought that if Shaw manages to score, we will win. And we gave him a lot of chances," Kaif told on Jio Cinema.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Prithvi got a lot of chances and teams have now finally moved on, and it is a matter of embarrassment that he did not get a bid for Rs 75 lakh. Maybe now, he finally goes back to basics. Someone like Sarfaraz Khan got into the national team by scoring lots and lots of runs," he concluded.</p>
<p>In the 79 matches he has played, Shaw has scored 1892 runs at an average of 23.95 and a strike-rate of 147.47. He also scored 14 fifties during this time.</p>

<p>Prithvi shaw is just 25 and has lot of cricket left inside him ,the thing he need that to focus on his fitness and batting weakness. </p>
<p>If the things goes well, not the next year but shaw will probably get chance to play in IPL this year too,if any team needs replacement for player ,he might be a good to get that place.</p>

Prithvi Shaw Can Might Have Chance To Play IPL this Year ? | TATA IPL 2025

Prithvi Shaw After a successful start of his career getting set back and set back ,but the things is not over yet , Prithvi can be have to focus his fitness,the improved fitness can solve many things for him.

<p>The MI Emirates produced a clinical display with the bat and the ball, handing the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders a 28-run defeat at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium in the Match 14 of International League T20 (ILT20) 2025 on Tuesday, January 21.</p>
<p>MI Emirates got off to a strong start when they were asked to bat first, with openers Muhammad Waseem (38) and Kusal Perera making a strong stand at the top. The Sri Lankan Perera was the first to leave for 23 soon before the powerplay ended, following a 42-run partnership between the two players. Tom Banton entered, and he and Waseem made sure the MI Emirates maintained the run rate.</p>
<p>Banton was out for nine around the halfway point of the innings, while Waseem was out for 38 shortly after. Kieron Pollard replaced skipper Nicholas Pooran, but the seasoned right-hander struggled to get going and was eventually sent out for five by Ali Khan. With just over 6 overs remaining, the score was at 102/4.</p>
<p>Following Dan Mousley's dismissal for six, Romario Shepherd joined his skipper for the innings' last stretch. Jason Holder made a solid 49, but Pooran, who was hitting it cleanly, was almost at his half-century before he fell.</p>
<p><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_870x_6790c540e2f01.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Shepherd was given more attention in the last few overs as a result. In order to end with an undefeated 38 from 13 deliveries, the powerful right-hander then moved through the gears and hammered three maximums and four boundaries. After slowing down for a few overs in the middle, the MI Emirates eventually reached 186/6.</p>
<p></p>
<p>In second inning with openers Kyle Mayers and Andries Gous attacking the MI Emirates bowlers, the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders got off to a fast start. Before Dan Mousley ran him out with a brilliant bit of fielding, Mayers, who hit three sixes, scored 22 off 14 deliveries.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The MI Emirates seized control after that, finishing a 39-run partnership in the fourth over in second inning.</p>
<p>Following Joe Clarke's dismissal by Akeal Hosein for three, Romario Shepherd took out Michael-Kyle Pepper for five and Alishan Sharafu for four. The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were 56/4 at the conclusion of a thrilling Powerplay.</p>
<p>The Abu Dhabi Knight Riders were further put under pressure after Waqar Salamkheil dismissed Laurie Evans for seven and Zahoor Khan caught Gous in the deep for thirty-four. Hopes of a recovery were raised when Sunil Narine and Andre Russell were called to the middle and embarked on a half-century stand.</p>
<p>But Narine was caught at cover for 13 in the 18th over, and David Willey was dismissed by Fazalhaq Farooqi in the 19th. The MI Emirates won easily, and Russell, who was still undefeated at 37 from 23 deliveries, was unable to lead his team across the finish line.</p>
<p></p>
<p>players like Romario Shepherd and Nicholas Pooran, the MI Emirates were able to close the gap on the top team to just two points.</p>
<p>Alzarri Joseph and Shepherd each took two wickets to thwart the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders' chase, while four of the MI Emirates' bowlers were in excellent form that evening.</p>
<p>In the whole match Romario Shepherd was the centre of attraction for the crowd with his bowling and batting, although the show was lasser but effective for MI Emirates to build pressure on the Abu Dhabi Knight Riders.</p>
<p>MI Emirates beat Abu Dhabi Knight Riders by 28 runs</p>

<p></p>
<p>Abu Dhabi Knight Riders 158/9 in 20 overs (Andre Russell 37 not out, Andries Gous 34, Romario Shepherd 2/14, Alzarri Joseph 2/33, Waqar Salamkheil 1/13)</p>

<p><span>IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.</span></p>
<p><span>India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.</span></p>
<p><span>Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
