Pakistan are ranked fourth in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 with four points. The side has won two wins and a loss to their name.<\/p>\n

Babar Azam\u2019s side started their quest for a second 50-over world title with a comprehensive 81-run win over the Netherlands at Hyderabad\u2019s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium on October 6th. They registered a historic win over the 1996 champions Sri Lanka at the same venue on October 10th.<\/p>\n

The side\u2019s only defeat in the tournament came at the hands of host and arch-rivals India, when they lost by a seven-wicket margin at Ahmedabad\u2019s Narendra Modi Stadium.<\/p>\n

The side will now take on five-time winners Australia on Friday. A win would improve their chances of cementing their spot in the semi-final stage.<\/p>\n

Former cricketers and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Ramiz Raja shared his views about the highly-anticipated contest on a private channel. He suggested Pakistan should chase as Bangalore conditions favour batters.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think Pakistan should go for the chase,\u201d he stated. \u201cPakistan weren\u2019t able to score even 200 runs against India while batting first on a good batting strip so they should think about chasing against Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramiz Raja added that Pakistan swap an all-rounder with a bowler as they need to amp up the bowling department.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe conditions there [in Bengaluru] will suit batting so Pakistan need to strengthen their bowling bearing in mind the pitch. If you need to sacrifice an all-rounder for a specialist, they should definitely do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is pertinent to mention that Australia registered its first win in the tournament when they hammered Sri Lanka by five wickets in their previous game.<\/p>\n

The side had a disastrous start to their World Cup as they suffered consecutive defeats to host India and South Africa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
