Veteran Australian opener David Warner smashed a brilliant hundred against Pakistan in the 18th match of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023. David Warner made a stunning comeback in the World Cup after failing to deliver in the Australian team’s first three games.

Australia got off to a flying start after being asked to bat first at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Friday, October 20. David Warner’s opening partner, Mitchell Marsh, scored a stunning century, registering his second in the 50-over format for Australia.

The duo added a 200-run partnership for the first wicket in under 30 overs on a batting-friendly track. David Warner reached his fourth consecutive ODI century against Pakistan with a single on the fourth ball of the 31st over in spinner Mohammad Nawaz’s bowling.

Mitchell Marsh, who is celebrating his 32nd birthday today, reached the century milestone on the next ball after Warner. The right-handed batter punished the ball to the boundary to complete his second hundred in the ODI format, reaching a triple-digit score from 100 balls.

Mitchell Marsh got an opportunity to open the innings in the absence of Travis Head, who missed the matches due to a wrist injury sustained last month. However, Head is expected to be available for selection in the next match, which could create a selection headache.

The Pat Cummins-led team began the World Cup with consecutive defeats against India and South Africa. However, they bounced back to secure their first victory against Sri Lanka in Lucknow on October 16. They chased down the 210-run target with 14.4 overs to spare.
