Warner made a stand of 259 with Mitchell Marsh, who scored 121, before the first wicket came at the end of the 33rd over at the at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.

Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took 5 for 54 to limit the five-time champions 367-9.

Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique's respective totals of 70 and 64 saw Pakistan get off to a promising start, with an opening stand of 134.

But Mohammad Rizwan's dismissal at the hands of Adam Zampa for 46 was the beginning of the end for Grant Bradburn's side.

Their batting line-up lasted for another 5.4 overs to finish all out for 305.

Pakistan had already chased a World Cup record total of 345 against Sri Lanka earlier in the tournament but fell short of emulating that.

"For us to go out there and put in a performance and a score on the board like that is very pleasing," said player of the match David Warner.

"I felt like I was ticking along and was just one bit of luck away.

"It helps when you're hitting the ball out of the middle.

"Playing on a ground like this, you've got to take those chances.

"Every run's valuable too and part of my DNA is running fast between the wickets.

"It was just good to get out there and get a partnership with Mitch today. 

"We spoke about wanting to bat together until 35 overs at least then at the back end, we could score heavily.

"There is a bit of tinkering that we need to work on after losing wickets at the end."

It was Australia's second win of the competition and sees them move up to fourth place after they suffered defeats in their first two games.

The tournament is set to continue tomorrow as the defending champions England meet South Africa in a crucial game at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.

Both sides had suffered shock defeats in their previous matches, England losing to Afghanistan and The Netherlands defeating South Africa.

Fresh from that historic victory, the Dutch are also due to be in back in action tomorrow when they take on Sri Lanka at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow.
