ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Day 38 - Australia v Bangladesh & England v Pakistan

The Top Order Cricket Podcast

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 is here, and the Top Order Podcast has you covered with regular game reviews and recaps.

In this episode of the show, we discuss the Day 38 double header games between Australia v Bangladesh & England v Pakistan.

In the early game, Bangladesh were sent in at Pune and reached 306-8, with contributions from young players Shanto, Tanzid and Hridoy, but in the end it wasn't nearly enough as Australia chased it down with plenty of time to spare thanks largely to a big daddy hundred from Mitchell Marsh.

Binksy, Baldy and Stu also discuss Adam Zampa, some time in the middle for Steve Smith and what that means for Marnus Labuschagne.

Millions of people all around New Zealand turned on the TV for the all-important toss between England and Pakistan, and cheers of joy erupted when Babar Azam called incorrectly and Jos Buttler chose to bat.

As the celebrations eased, the game began and England reached 337-9 thanks to fifties from Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes and Joe Root, plus a late flurry from the lower order.

David Willey struck early to remove both openers, Adil Rashid spun one through the gate and England sealed their spot in the Champions Trophy as Pakistan fell a long way short to end the match and their tournament.
