100

Australia defeated Pakistan in a run-fest at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bengaluru on Friday. 

David Warner slammed 163 off 124 while Mitchell Marsh hit 121 off 108 to help Australia post 367 for 9 in 50 overs after getting an invitation to bat. 

The Pat Cummins-led side managed to post a big total despite Shaheen Afridi's five wicket haul (5 for 54). In reply, Pakistan were bundled out for 305, thanks to Adam Zampa's 4 for 53. Imam-ul-Haq (70) and Abdullah Shafique (64) stitched a solid opening stand of 134 runs but Pakistan failed to cash in on the opportunity. Pakistan thus suffered their second consecutive defeat in the tournament.
