Pakistan's highest total of the group phase, and their biggest statement win of the group stage; Australian fast bowler Rodney Hogg missed this match with a bronchial infection. Toss result, Player of the Match, and Pakistan's bowling figures dismissing Australia are not confirmed to this round's sourcing standard. A claimed Javed Miandad half-century in this innings, seen in one AI-generated source, could not be independently corroborated and has been omitted rather than entered as fact.
