World Cup: Pakistan likely to make one change in playing XI for Australia match

Green Shirts are scheduled to play their fourth match of the ongoing ICC Men’s World Cup 2023 against the Kangaroos at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru.

The Bangalore pitch usually is rated as batting-friendly and offers some assistance to spinners.

It is important to note that all the players, except Mohammad Haris, who had earlier fallen ill have now recovered from the infection.

Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abdullah Shafeeque, Saud Shakeel and Zaman Khan were among those who had contracted the infection.

To a question about Fakhar Zaman’s knee status, a Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official accompanying the team, said the batter encountered the problem recently.

Currently, Pakistan stands fourth in the WC points table with four points and an NRR of -0.137 after playing three matches.
