The warm-up game between Pakistan and Australia started with a bang as David Warner and Mitchell Marsh turned up the heat in Hyderabad on Tuesday. The Australian openers, especially Warner, went gung-ho against the team, who are regarded as the best bowling line-up of the tournament.

The legendary opener, who slammed four boundaries and six maximums in his breathtaking knock, was nearing a well-tailored fifty before the wily Usama Mir got rid of the batter in his very first over, but on a short-pitched delivery. He followed with another wicket-taking over as Marsh went nicking a full ball that kissed the outside edge straight into the hands of the first slip.

The 27-year-old leg-spinning all-rounder made a cut into Pakistan's World Cup 2023 squad over the likes of Abrar Ahmed and Sufiyan Muqeem, which initiated a debate back home. However, statistically, Mir's List-A performances are head and shoulder above the rest.

In 48 List-A games, the World Cup-bound leggie has taken 74 wickets at an astronishing average of 29.47 with an equally brilliant strike rate of 30.3. Back home, Mir is regarded as a pure wicket-taker, while his batting skills are no less.

Nevertheless, after losing two quick wickets, Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne rebuilt the innings, but losing the duo in a quick span. At the time of writing, Australia are reeling at 153-4 after 25 overs.
