If the last warm-up match between Pakistan and Australia is anything to go by, today’s clash could be a high-scoring affair with the pitch offering little or no assistance to bowlers and batsmen having a field day.

In the warm-up match between Pakistan and Australia on 3 October, Australia managed to score 351 runs against a star-studded Pakistani bowling line-up of Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hassan Ali and Haris Rauf. Pakistan almost chased down the target before being bowled out for 337 in the 48th over.

Dutch cricketer Bas de Leede says his team wants to reach the semi-finals of the ICC ODI World Cup 2023. He was quoted by cricbuzz“I think for us, obviously, it’s special to be back for the first time since 2011, but we’ve set our goal high, which is to get to the semi-final and I don’t think that if we don’t achieve that, we’ll be a failure or anything like that. I think that if we don’t make it, but we have played our best cricket, we can still be proud of ourselves. But if we set the goal of reaching the semi-final, I think we can probably achieve it. more than what people expect of us. So Yes, I think it’s a mix of having nothing to lose, but also trying to perform at your best after 12 years.”
