WC Warm-Up: Pakistan left with plenty to ponder following 14-run loss to Australia

Hyderabad, Oct 3 (PTI) The form of openers and bowlers remained a concern as Pakistan was handed a 14-run loss by Australia on the concluding day of the World Cup warm-ups here on Tuesday. David Warner (48 off 33) and Glenn Maxwell (77 off 71) got valuable time in the middle as Australia amassed 351 for seven after opting to bat.

Babar Azam (90 retired hurt) was once again amongst the runs while middle-order batter Iftikhar Ahmed (83 off 85) got a good hit batting at number four.

Pakistan should have closed down the chase comfortably but found a way to lose and ended at 337 all out with 12 balls to spare.
