Australia’s World Cup campaign is back on track after David Warner and Mitch Marsh found form to power their side to a 62-run win over Pakistan.
Warner was the star of the show with his 163 from 124 balls, although there was a minor concern for Australia as he did not field due to a groin niggle.Needing to pull off the highest successful chase in World Cup history, Pakistan got to 1-134 after 21 as Australia spilled two chances early.Then Marcus Stoinis became the man to deliver.
His ball to removed Ahmed was particularly smart, skidding it through and trapping the right-hander on the back pad as he went to cut.Earlier, Warner and Marsh could not have found a better time to produce Australia’s highest ever opening partnership at a World Cup. Mir then felt the pain for the next two hours, with Warner bringing up his 50 when he hit the legspinner to the boundary.
