Glenn Maxwell stars again as Australia amass 351 before Pakistan dismissed for 337 with mixture of bowling
Australian Associated PressAustralia have concluded their World Cup preparations by firing with the bat, experimenting with the ball and seeing off Pakistan by 14 runs in their final warm-up match in Hyderabad.
The departure of Shadab Khan saw the score slump to 4-83 before Babar and Iftikhar Ahmed rescued Pakistan’s cause with a 144-run fifth-wicket stand, benefited greatly by some park-standard offerings from Australia’s part-timers. Iftikhar’s night ended when he lofted Labuschagne to Cameron Green in the deep before Babar retired 10 short of a ton.
Mohammad Nawaz kept Pakistan in the hunt before Labuschagne returned to the attack in the 48th over and ended the match.
