This is the 21st century of David Warner’s ODI career. At one time the Australian team was moving towards the score of 400 but due to the excellent performance of the bowlers in the last 10 overs under the leadership of Shaheen Shah Afridi (five wickets for 54 runs in 10 overs), Australia was restricted to within 370 runs.
Marsh, who was celebrating his 32nd birthday, completed his hundred after this. However, Marsh returned to the pavilion after being caught by Usman off Shaheen’s ball. Shaheen dismissed Glenn Maxwell on the next ball without opening the account. However, Marsh and Warner could not break the record of the highest partnership for the first wicket in the World Cup. This record is of 282 runs which was made by Sri Lanka’s Tillakaratne Dilshan and Upul Tharanga in the 2011 World Cup.
Warner batted fearlessly. Pakistan captain Babar Azam, in search of a wicket, gave the ball to Haris Rauf (three wickets for 83 runs) in the ninth over, but Warner and Marsh scored 24 runs from this over. Hasan Ali’s balls were getting swing in the initial overs but later Warner scored runs easily against him. During this, one of his six fell on the roof of the stadium.
