It is pertinent to mention that Pakistan are ranked fourth in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 points table with four points from three matches.<\/p>\n

Babar Azam\u2019s side made a successful start to their campaign as they beat the Netherlands by 81 runs at Hyderabad\u2019s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. They beat 1996 winners Sri Lanka by six wickets at the same venue.<\/p>\n

A win against Australia would improve Pakistan\u2019s chances of reaching the semi-finals of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
