Opener David Warner also hit 48 off 33, while Marnus Labuschagne scored 40. Mitchell Marsh (31) and Steve Smith (27) also contributed in what turned into a show of batting strength by the Australians.<\/p>\n

Pakistan replied with 337 all out in 47.4 overs.<\/p>\n

\"Glenn<\/p>\n

Skipper Babar Azam led the way with 90 off 59 balls. He came in to bat at No.6, with Pakistan 4-83 at one stage.<\/p>\n

Azam enjoyed a good final workout, hitting 11 fours and two sixes. He added 144 runs with Iftikhar Ahmed, who scored 83 off 85, to make the chase a real threat to Australia.<\/p>\n

Ahmed hit six fours and four sixes as Australia often deployed spin as it looks to provide support for wrist-spinner Adam Zampa.<\/p>\n

Mitchell Marsh got 2-43, while Labuschagne took 3-78 in 8.4 overs.<\/p>\n

Warner and Smith sent down six overs between them, with Pakistan catching up despite the early loss of wickets.<\/p>\n

After Azam retired out, Mohammad Nawaz smacked 50 off 42 balls. Pakistan couldn\u2019t quite finish the job at hand, though, and has lost both its warm-ups, the first to New Zealand at the same ground.<\/p>\n

\"Tubby's<\/p>\n

Tournament host India saw another Cricket World Cup warm-up game washed out without a ball being bowled against the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

There wasn't even a toss in Thiruvananthapuram as rain again frustrated India. The game was called off early in the evening.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s warm-up against defending champion England in Guwahati was also a washout at the weekend.<\/p>\n

India\u2019s first World Cup game is an eagerly awaited clash with Australia in Chennai on Sunday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
