Welcome to Dawn.com's live coverage of the third ICC World Cup quarter-final between Pakistan and Australia in Adelaide.

The Adelaide Oval is familiar territory for Pakistan, who lost their World Cup opener to defending champions India at the South Australia ground before defeating Ireland there in the pool phase.

The odds are in favour of four-time champions and co-hosts Australia, but Pakistan's unpredictable nature and four consecutive wins after a poor start to the tournament make them threatening opponents.

Australia beat England in their opening match, had a rained-out no-result against Bangladesh and then lost by one wicket to co-hosts New Zealand.

Australia and Pakistan have won four games each in their eight World Cup meetings so far. Their last Cup encounter four years ago resulted in a four-wicket win for Pakistan in Colombo.
