"Maxwell and Babar Shine as Australia Edges Past Pakistan"

Australia secured a 14-run victory over Pakistan in their final warm-up game before the World Cup. The match showcased Australia's all-around performance with both bat and ball. Despite the final score, Australia dominated the game.

 

Australia 3-51 for 7 (Green 50*, Warner 48, Inglis 48, Mir 2-31) beat Pakistan 337 (Babar 90, Iftikhar 83, Labuschagne 3-78) by 14 runs

 Australia chose to bat after winning the toss, and David Warner's explosive 48 runs off 33 balls gave them a strong start. However, Pakistan fought back by taking crucial wickets during the middle overs. Hasan Ali bowled economically at the beginning, but it was Usama Mir who made breakthroughs, while Mohammad Nawaz maintained his role as a dependable bowler.
