The World Cup extravaganza is ready to hit the stage. The tournament is scheduled to happen on October 5. It was just one sleep away. All teams are ready to conquer the stage. They are checking their last-time preparations. Before entering the biggest tournament, all teams are playing warm-up matches before the tournament. Australia is playing a warm-up match against Pakistan. In that match, Pakistan made a fielding error and that caught attention.
What was the mistake?
Pakistan and Australia are facing each other in the warm-up match. Before the World Cup, this is Pakistan’s last warm-up match. This is the right place to practice and rectify mistakes. But in that match, Pakistani fielders made a typical mistake.
The incident happened on the 23rd over. Marnus Labuschagne was batting, and Haris Rauf bowled a short ball on the off stump. The batter wanted it to go on the backward square leg. But that ball didn’t have the strength to go on the boundary line but that ended up being a boundary. When the ball was going towards the boundary, Mohammad Nawaz and Mohammad Wasim jr ran to each other and made a blunder. This typical mistake caught my attention.
Match Summary:
This is the last warm-up match for both teams. Before the World Cup, this is the last rehearsal stage. In this match, Australia won the toss and decided to bat first. While batting, star Aussie opener, David Warner scored 48 in 33balls. He smashed 4 boundaries and 3 over-boundaries with a strike rate of 145.45. Mitchell Marsh scored 31 in 48 balls including two boundaries and two over-boundaries.
Steve Smith scored 27 in 29 balls with two boundaries. Marnus Labuschagne scored 40 in 31 balls. He smashed 5 boundaries with a strike rate of 129.03. Usama Mir got two wickets. Haris Rauf got one and Mohammad Nawaz got one wicket. Now Maxwell is batting on 42 in 51 balls and Green is batting on 6 in 10 balls.
Pakistan made a silly mistake in this match. That fielding was bizarre. In history, Pakistan made a lot of mistakes. They often get trolled for their poor fielding effort. In that match, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are one rest. Shadab Khan is captaining the side.
