Opener Abullah Shafique rued that Pakistan could not finish the chase despite making a good beginning against Australia, and he said the team needed to work on this ahead of their next World Cup assignments.
Shafique (64) and his fellow opener Imam-ul-Haq (70) gave Pakistan a cultured beginning to their chase of 369, adding 134 runs in 21.1 overs.
But the Babar Azam-led side could only muster 305 in the end on Friday.
