Brutal attack from David Warner and Marsh

He smashed three fours and three sixes inside the first powerplay and took his score to 40 runs in just 29 balls. This also set the tone for him in the rest of the innings.

David Warner looked comfortable enough to go on and score a double ton against Pakistan in Bengaluru, but he fell short by 37 runs. Warner got two lifelines during his innings and was dropped when he was batting on 10 runs, and then he was put down once again on 110. Warner was caught by Shadab Khan when he was trying to play a drive down the ground. He mistimed that shot and lost his wicket to Haris Rauf.

The entire M. Chinnaswamy Stadium was on its feet to applaud one of the most special World Cup knocks played by an Australian opener against Pakistan. Bengaluru crowd was extremely cheerful for Australians during their innings. Pakistan have restricted Australia to 367 runs after a brutal 259-runs opening stand between Marsh and Warner.
