ICC World Cup: Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl

In ICC World Cup, in the 18th match between Pakistan and Australia at M. Chiswamy Stadium, Bangalore. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl. Australia started batting and scored 9 runs without losing a wicket in the first two overs. Warner and Marsh were at the crease as the openers.

Glenn Maxwell: Pretty hectic start to the tournament, was nice to get that win over Sri Lanka. Looking forward to a good game against Pakistan here at a beautiful venue.

These conditions are quite conducive to finger-spin. To have that role, bowl a few more overs, is something I am relishing. Not any game has out exactly to script, you got to assess conditions and see if the wicket’s playing true.

A few balls could misbehave and you gotta readjust. Hopefully we can adapt quickly and get the win tonight. As Patty said, I don’t think it’s a tournament where you can try and peak at the right time, you just got to be on your best at all times. There’s no time to rest, there are no weak teams. Hopefully the match-winners in our side can get the job done.
