Australia are very well placed in the tournament. The only match they lost in the league was against New Zealand. It was a low-scoring match and the Aussies fought till the end to avoid a defeat. It was evident from the match that the Aussies just don’t give up till the match is actually over.

“When you walk out on the field tomorrow it’s a new day,” Michael Clarke said. “We all start on zero with the bat and zero with the ball as well. The past is the past. We need to turn up tomorrow and play our best cricket if we want to beat Pakistan, it’s as simple as that.”
“I don’t think you are ever owed anything in this game of cricket so we have to make sure we’re ready to go tomorrow, which we will be.”
“Fast bowling will play a big part in the match especially if they leave that grass on the wicket like there is now,” he added. “Both teams have good fast bowlers and the batters will have to make sure they play really well.”
