Pakistan needs to shake off disappointment, illness against Australia at the Cricket World Cup

Pakistan needs to shake off the disappointment of its loss to archrival India and illness within its squad when it takes on five-time champion champion Australia at the Cricket World Cup on Friday. Opening batter Abdullah Shafique and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi were among a group of players sick with a fever after the team left Ahmedabad following a seven-wicket loss to India. Both Shafique and Afridi rejoined the team in practice at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Wednesday and are available for selection.
