[Saba Sports News] On Friday, October 20, the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 witnessed an intense clash between Australia and Pakistan at the M.Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Pakistan’s captain, Babar Azam, won the toss and chose to field, inviting Australia to bat first.
This invitation was eagerly accepted by the opening pair of David Warner and Mitchell Marsh, who proceeded to construct an imposing partnership at the top of the order.
David Warner had an early escape in his innings when he was dropped by Usama Mir at mid-on during the fifth over of the match. However, Pakistan would soon regret this missed opportunity, as Warner shifted into an aggressive gear against their renowned pace attack.
One particular shot played by Warner left spectators and cricket enthusiasts in sheer amazement. In the ninth over of the innings, he displayed his flamboyant style by launching Haris Rauf for a colossal six.
The left-handed batter showcased his power by sending the ball soaring over deep square leg, eventually hitting the roof of the stadium. It was a moment of brilliance that added to the spectacle of the game.
