Australia have concluded their World Cup preparations by firing with the bat, experimenting with the ball, and seeing off Pakistan by 14 runs in their final warm-up match at Hyderabad.

After posting 7-351, Australia mixed new-ball skill with popgun pies at the bowling crease before bowling Pakistan out for 337 at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium.

Babar Azam, the world's No 1-ranked one-day batter, stroked a classy 90 after Pakistan's top three — Fakhar Zaman, Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique — failed to fire.

The departure of Shadab Khan saw the score slump to 4-83 before Babar and Iftikhar Ahmed rescued Pakistan's cause with a 144-run fifth-wicket stand, benefited greatly by some park-standard offerings from Australia's part-timers.

Marnus Labuschagne (3-78 off 8.4 overs) struck three times but struggled to find his length, Steve Smith (0-40 off four) was no threat with his experimental offspinners and David Warner (0-41 off two) mixed half-trackers with head-high full tosses.

Iftikhar's night ended when he lofted Labuschagne to Cameron Green in the deep before Babar retired 10 short of a ton.

With 87 required from the last 13 overs, Australia's frontline bowlers returned to test themselves in the match scenario and succeeded.
