World Cup 2023: Pakistan chose to bowl against Australia
Pakistan chose to bowl first after winning the toss in the ICC ODI World Cup against Australia in Bengaluru on Friday.

Pakistan will look to get back on the winning track after being defeated by India in their last outing. They won two of the preceding matches against Netherlands and Sri Lanka.

Australia enter the game looking to get their second win. The kangaroos managed to trounce Sri Lanka in their last match after successive defeats against India and South Africa.

Pakistan dropped Shadab Khan, who has struggled with bowling form.

Conditions
