Australia have had a far from ideal start to their Cricket World Cup campaign so far, but will want to put things right against Pakistan.
Pat Cummins’ side suffered heavy defeats against India and South Africa in their opening two matches, but recovered- to secure a five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, which was also a bit too close for comfort.
Australia are the most successful side in the history of World Cups, but have been found out this time, lacking a threat with both batting and bowling.
Pakistan won their opening two matches comfortably but were resoundingly beaten by rivals India – they lost by seven wickets – and will want to fight back.

That was an awful drop! There are just no excuses, he doesn’t even get his hands to that delivery.
Usama Mir has been drafted into the team for this match, Warner has skied that high and I don’t know how he hasn’t caught it.
Australia have a let off and Pakistan have missed a golden opportunity to get Warner out for just 10
