Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, they emerged victorious against Pakistan at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, winning by a margin of 62 runs. Opener David Warner played a pivotal role in this victory, scoring a remarkable 163 runs. For his outstanding performance, Warner was honored with the Player of the Match award. However, it appears that Warner might miss the upcoming match against the Netherlands in the tournament.
David Warner’s Remarkable Innings
David Warner’s explosive innings of 163 runs were historic and played a crucial role in Australia’s win. Unfortunately, after this brilliant performance, Warner experienced back pain and cramps. With Australia set to face the Netherlands in their next match, the team management might opt to rest Warner for one game to ensure his full recovery. His century-making abilities could be essential for Australia in the upcoming matches of the tournament.

Warner stated, “There is some pain in it (waist) and cramps also.” He appreciated the partnership with Mitchell Marsh and noted that they capitalized on understanding the pace of the wicket. He added, “Playing on a ground like this, you have to take advantage of those opportunities. You just come out on the field and build a good partnership. We thought of trying to bat for at least 35 overs and then score big. I think there are still some things we have to work on.”
Record-Breaking Achievement
David Warner’s century against Pakistan marked his fifth century in the ODI World Cup, making him the fifth batsman in history to achieve this milestone. He joins an elite group alongside Rohit Sharma, Sachin Tendulkar, Kumar Sangakkara, and Ricky Ponting. Australia’s upcoming match is scheduled against the Netherlands on October 25 at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi.
In the match against Pakistan, Australia emerged victorious by 62 runs, largely attributed to the exceptional innings by openers David Warner (163) and Mitchell Marsh (121).

After setting a target of 367 runs for nine wickets, Australia managed to limit Pakistan’s innings to 305 runs in 45.3 overs.
