David Warner smashed his 21st ODI ton off 85 balls while birthday boy Mitchell Marsh recorded only his 2nd hundred in one-day cricket
David Warner notched up his 4th consecutive ODI ton vs Pakistan. Before his ton in Bengaluru, he scored 107, 179 and 130 in his previous 3 games
Warner has gone level with Ricky Ponting, Kumar Sangakkara (5 each). He’s only behind Sachin Tendulkar (6) and Rohit Sharma (7)
Warner-Marsh’s 259-run stand is now Australia’s best-ever opening partnership at World Cups, also the 2nd highest opening stand ever at World Cups
The duo went past previous AUS record of a 183-run stand vs Canada made by Watson-Haddin in 2011, which also came at the Chinnaswamy Stadium
Australia’s total of 82 runs is now the second-highest 10-over total vs Pakistan at ODI World Cups
Davey Warner was dropped on 10, a dolly Usama Mir put down at mid-on and since then, there’s just been mayhem at Bengaluru
It’s like Haris Rauf’s pace is bringing about his downfall. The pacer leaked 59 runs in his first 4 overs - 24 came off just the first one
