The 18th match of the ICC World Cup 2023 between Australia and Pakistan will be played at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Australia after losing their opening two games bounced back to defeat Sri Lanka in the previous match. On the other hand, Pakistan suffered a seven wicket defeat against arch-rivals India in the previous match. This should be an exciting match between these two sides.
