Australia Vs Pakistan: DKODING Key Players
The cricketing world will be desperately hoping for some action, after two washed out days.
Australia and Pakistan lock horns at The Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton in the 17th match of the World Cup 2019.
Analysing both the teams
Australia – Australia, the defending champions, enter the contest after suffering a crushing loss at the hands of India on Sunday. Not much went right for the five-time champions against the formidable Indian team.
Pakistan – Pakistan’s last game was against Sri Lanka but the match was abandoned without a ball being bowled. Pakistan, however, will be confident of beating Australia. In their last outing, they had defeated hosts and favourites England in a high-scoring encounter. After posting 348, Pakistan had restricted England to 334 for 9.
