Five-time World Cup winners Australia has played three matches so far, lost 2 and won one. Pakistan, on the other hand, has played three matches, winning two and losing one. Pakistan suffered a demoralising defeat in their previous ODI World Cup 2023 match against hosts India in Ahmedabad.

As per reports, Pakistan players Shaheen Shah Afridi, Saud Shakeel, Abdullah Shafique and Zaman Khan are down with flu due to which there are doubts over their availability for today's AUS vs PAK World Cup fixture in Bengaluru. There are speculations that Shaheen Afridi is also dealing with a finger injury and is not 100 percent.

The flu can be physically damaging and it is highly likely that Pakistan will bench their star pacer for today's AUS vs PAK WC fixture, making sure to not risk his fitness in early stage of the tournament. Mohammad Wasim Jr. might come in for Shaheen. Usman Mir, a specialist spinner, might replace Shabad Khan, who hasn't been up to the mark with his performances so far. Agha Salman is also a good option to replace Shadab in PAK playing 11 vs Australia.
