Australia lost by four wickets to Shahid Afridi's men, a defeat which ended their 34-match unbeaten streak in the tournament stretching back to the 1999 edition.
They seem likely to face title favourites India at Ahmedabad on Thursday. "If we play India in Ahmedabad, then you can guarantee the same situations are going to pop up again, and we'll have to handle them a whole lot better than we did against Pakistan," said Ponting.
