Australia tries to keep World Cup dreams alive

Australia will try to get its World Cup campaign back on track when it takes on Pakistan in the Super Six stages on Monday.

It needs to win its remaining two matches, including Thursday’s encounter with England, and then hope other results go its way, if it is to make it to Sunday’s final.

 Pakistan goes into the match on the back of a brilliant four-wicket victory over the West Indies on Saturday.

 It will be hoping to improve on its previous two performances against Australia in ODI matches. At the Women’s World Cup in 1997 it lost by nine wickets after it was bowled out for just 27 all out, while in the first meeting between the two sides it made 23 all out in reply to Australia’s 397-4.

 On Tuesday, England faces West Indies, while New Zealand takes on India in front of the live television cameras at North Sydney Oval.
