South Africa last 10 overs runs
41th over 10 runs
42th over 13 runs
43th over 22 runs
44th over 17 runs
45th over 9 runs
46th over 8 runs
47th over 20 runs
48th over 12 runs
49th over 19 runs
50th over 14 runs

South Africa scored 144 runs in the last 10 overs with Bangladesh. But after 40 minutes in Bangladesh's innings, the overall situation of the pitch became a bowling pitch.

Ideally Bangladesh should have restricted them to 310-320, but gave away 60-70 runs more than that as a result of wayward bowling. Despite their good performance in the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League (where they finished at the 3rd place), it actually looks like they are the weakest team in this tournament. Despite their win against Afghanistan, overall it looks as if they are much weaker than other teams like Netherlands and Afghanistan. I have serious concerns about Bangladesh, and I don't know what will be their condition once Shakib retires.

South Africa's main strength is their batting order. Every batsman in the squad is in very good form. The top order players are off to a great start. The middle order has been able to maintain consistency. Especially I would say they batted brilliantly in the last 10 overs. In the last two matches they have collected more than 140 in the last 10 overs.  The performance of the bowlers is also quite decent.  This team has all the capabilities to qualify for the finals. South Africa won by a big margin against England. Today they will win against Bangladesh by a big margin.  I don't think that Bangladesh has the ability to win by batting at such a big target. The performance of this team's batting order is very erratic.

South African team really impressed thier spectators because they were trashing each and every bowling lineup they face, if we have a look at thier results mostly they scored 350+ which is really impressive and some how give indication that they have ability to play till finals. If we have a look at thier current match results they firstly continue thier high scoring momentum and scored significant runs against Bangladesh which I think is well enough to defeat them and now due to firey bowling factory they departure each and every important batters and now they almost lose 8th which and soon we will get trashing defeat from strong contender South Africa

It would not be wrong to say that South Africa has the strongest batting line-up in this World Cup. Every  batsman in the squad is batting well. The team is not  dependent on any particular batsman. Excellent performance.  South Africa's batting has impressed us in every match except the one  against netherlands. And this team has all the capabilities to qualify for the semi-finals. I am  looking forward to South africa vs  india match. Because both these teams are at the peak of form right now. This  match is likely to  be very competitive. The match is going to  be held on November 5.  Let's see if these two teams can maintain t he consistency of performance till then.

So Today Australia and Netherlands will face each others. Australia is stronger than Netherlands and there are 80% chances that the Australian team will win today match. Recently Australia won from Pakistan and has 4 points and 4th place in the point table. If Australia will win today match so they will collect 2 points more and will remain on 4th number.

Shakib Al Hasan
Mushfikur Rahim
Mahmudullah
Tamim already out of squad.
Bangladesh team can be compared with Nepal, United Arab Emirates, Netherlands and Scotland if the above three-four players retire in the Bangladesh team. Analytical comparisons have been made with the points list of the teams in this World Cup where Bangladesh is a weaker team than Afghanistan and Netherlands. Meanwhile, Bangladesh is at the bottom ten position of the points table. Whereas Afghanistan and Netherlands are in the 6th and 7th positions of the points table respectively. So you compare where the Bangladesh team will go in the future?

Australia is in top form, and made a strong comeback after losing two initial matches. But then, Netherlands has performed beyond everyone's expectation until now. Australia would be looking to get two easy points from this match and also a good boost to their net run rate. Right now their NRR is in negative (-0.193) and it may impact their chances of qualifying for the semi-finals. If they get two points from today's match then they will be having 6 points, which is enough to place them 4th in the points table.

Also, Travis Head will probably return today, I felt in earlier matches that Australia batted poorly, even in last match they were fail except Warner and Marsh, couldn't capitalize on platform they created.

Well.. none of the Australian batsmen are there in the top-10 run scorers for this tournament till now. David Warner is at the 12th place with a total of 228 runs, at an average of 57. But apart from that 163 against Pakistan, he has been quite ordinary so far. The same can be said about Mitchell Marsh, who has scored 180 runs till now. 121 of those runs cam against Pakistan. On the third place we have Marnus Labuschagne, who has managed just 121 runs so far. The less talked about the others (Maxwell, Inglis, Stoinis, Smith.etc), that much better.

[JunaidAzizi]

The match goes to South Africa and they also deserve to win as they did bat, bowling, and fielding better than the opposition. They deserve to win. The winning chances were 99.99 for South Africa and Bangladesh win chances were 00.01 at one time, this is very sad and disappointing for Bangladesh.
Once upon a time, we called them tigers and now the tigers winning were just 00.01%. All the players of South Africa performed very well but in Bangladesh, no one could perform in both innings (batting and bowling), the best all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan also didn’t perform in this match. Bangladesh team is on their downfall.

Yes, you are right the Bangladesh team is in a bad condition but in this match, you can not ignore the fielding of the players. They go to the ball, make flips to stop the ball and I appreciate their fielding. The batsman of the SA was very aggressive this time they hit the ball with full efficiency, at first Bangladesh out their two openers on 30 runs I thought they were going the best but after that, the whole scenario changed and in the last 10 overs the players they did a massive run and set 382 target which was very difficult for a team like Bangladesh.

19 sixes were hit by South Africa in their 382/5 with De Kock scoring 174. South Africa didn't stop their ruthless aggression against Bangladesh as they defeated Bangladesh by 149 runs in a one-sided affair. The only positive for Bangladesh was their senior pro Mahmudullah scoring a memorable century giving Bangladeshi fans something to smile. Mahmudullah was included at the very last moment in the squad before the World Cup. The overall Bangladesh campaign had been a sorrow affair till now  which was expected after a lot of controversial drama between Ex Captain Tamim Iqbal vs Shakib ul Hasan just before the world cup.

[Suzume]

We Bengalis are shameless.  I know Bangladesh will never win the World Cup.  Then at the end of every match I say that I will not watch the game, even before the start of the match I sit down to watch the game like a fool and again predict that Bangladesh will win.  Which at the end of the day is the cause of our own upset for ourselves. That is our love that's the reason we are shameless.

Bangladesh team played well today. Not bangladesh team played well the player Mahmudullah Riyad played a great innings. He have done 111 in 110 ball. Boss you have played great. Thank for giving a great innning.


I lost my speech what to say. Bangladesh is emotion but the they did not play well that make me always upset. But what to do we are shameless. Let's wait for next world cup.

You need to be positive because win and lost part of the game and every person love to support his country even team is not performing good because it's all natural with I also agreed Bangladesh is not good side with many problems which they need to fix if they want to have better results but due to political influence things are not working as they needed to be.
Today last 10 overs change the match momentum and South Africa thrash their bowling with during batting few early loses bring them down badly which is the cause of this thrashing defeat otherwise things were going good competitive.
Bangladesh having some good players but as team they are still not near to have good results which is surely not good with now they are playing cricket regularly for 24 years but fail to have anything positive hopefully someone will bring good changes, and they will be able to have good results.

I am sorry but that kind of words come from heart because I think I am a loyal supporter of Bangladesh cricket team. You can see the performance of Bangladesh cricket team every time they didn't play well. 1999 is a first world cup that we participated. From them to now we didn't wan any world cup. Now days we saw that the performance of Bangladesh cricket team is decreasing day by day and the player who play well there retired. That's the reason the performance are getting down because we support Bangladesh cricket team so I think it could be our fault for make ourself sad. I know okay it is a game here defeat will win. But every time or most of time we lost our match and their is no hope to win next world cup is there any possibility to win our cup before I die. I know that words are too much valueless but the words come from my heart because of sadness.

Bangladesh bowling just broke down during the last 10 overs. The bowlers were wayward and the fielders were not backing them up. And then the captain looked completely clueless. Ideally they should have restricted South Africa for a maximum of 320, but in the end leaked far more than that. If not for Mahmudullah, they would have suffered a record defeat. At one point they were 159/8, but then Mahmudullah with help from Mustafizur Rahman and Shoriful Islam took them to a decent total of 233 all out.

It is doubtful whether the current state of Bangladesh cricket can survive the next World Cup. Bangladesh cricket team will be able to improve from the day when politics is free. Bangladesh cricket team is in this condition today as a result of devaluing the players of Bangladesh cricket team. Brother your words are not bad, they come from heart because we love the country and always support the country. Our problem is that we love our country selflessly. After watching the game at the beginning of the match yesterday, I thought that Bangladesh might be able to stop South Africa within 25 runs today. But instead it has been the opposite. It made me feel so bad that I couldn't express it. I have lost faith in Bangladesh cricket team and I will never dream anything good about Bangladesh cricket again. Because Bangladesh cricket team can never give us good dreams.

South Africa had won their previous match against England by a huge margin of 229 runs. If Mustafizur Rahman and Shariful Islam did not support Mahmudullah Riyad, then Bangladesh would have recorded the highest number of runs lost in the World Cup. However, I give Mahmudullah a lot of respect because without him yesterday, Bangladesh's innings record would have been a shameful loss.

[noormcs5]

South African team has set their attitude and play more aggressive especially in early overs because they know if they properly utilize power play and get handsome runs then definitely it will execute pressure on opponent, and thus they will set their rhythm to move towards a high target, and they were consistently following their same tactics and gets more and more success.

Early overs? SA makes their most runs in last 10 overs, they could be having 220-50 runs by start of 40th over, and by 50th over you'd see target close to 400

South Africa last 10 overs runs
41th over 10 runs
42th over 13 runs
43th over 22 runs
44th over 17 runs
45th over 9 runs
46th over 8 runs
47th over 20 runs
48th over 12 runs
49th over 19 runs
50th over 14 runs

South Africa scored 144 runs in the last 10 overs with Bangladesh. But after 40 minutes in Bangladesh's innings, the overall situation of the pitch became a bowling pitch.

The match at Wankhede was a mere display of high class batting performance by south Africa, Quinton de Kock in particular. He scored 174 runs in only 140 balls and it damaged the Bangladesh team. This was not the end as latter Heinrich Klaasen also made 90 runs in only 49 balls. Scoring 382 runs by losing only 5 wickets, shows some great batting skills by the South Africa team.

In response, Mahmudullah did score 111 runs in 111 balls but this was never going to be enough when you have to chase the target close to 400 runs and no one else from your team had a good batting click on that day.

With this win, south Africa moved up to the 2nd spot and New Zealand to the 3rd spot although both the teams have lose one matches each.

[BitcoinsGreat]

Today is the match between the Netherlands and Australia. The team of Netherlands are confident because they won their second last match against South Africa, South Africa is a big team and South Africa achieved a very good position in the point table and they beat them so that’s why they are confident.

The Australian team is also very confident because they are in the top four when Australia lost their first two matches everyone thought that Australia out of this World Cup but they did come back, and if the Netherlands wins this match so this is the first time that the Netherlands won two matches in a single tournament.

So far India is the only team that has won all the matches. Their remaining matches are against England, Sri Lanka, South Africa and Netherlands. And out of all these matches, two are going to be very tough - those against England and South Africa (doesn't mean that they should take Netherlands lightly). But in all probability, even if they lose one match they are likely to end up at the no.1 position. My only concern is that India has a rather poor track record in the knockout phases of major ICC tournaments.

[HONDACD125]

 Pakistan has more potential and always have dominance, but yesterday they lose for a first which completely broke us and every player of our team. But still we believe that we can, and I am sure we will.

The fact is that no improvement can be expected from them now.Our captain doesn't seem to have any strategy.We put all our focus on our batting in this World Cup.If the batsmen perform well and bat well, then we are in a position to win. There is no hope of winning the match by bowling. Our fielding and bowling performance has been very poor. In all the matches Pakistan has played so far in the World Cup, our bowlers have not performed well in any match.

You can judge the body language of our players by the fact that they are smiling even when they are not scoring runs, and smiling even when the opposition team is constantly scoring them.At no point will you see them in a competitive mood.Babar Azam's captaincy has been very poor.He doesn't know where to place his fielding,runs are scored so easily by the opposing team that one does not know where he has placed the fielding.However, they are not expected to perform well now, nor can they be trusted.

I am specially exicited about India's match against South Africa. Hopefully, SA performs well in that match and gives huge score if they bat first, and see how India responds to it 

My only concern is that India has a rather poor track record in the knockout phases of major ICC tournaments.

So is SA.

[JSRAW]

^^ I think South Africa, New Zealand and India deserve to win the WC in this edition due to their all round performance.

2 chokers playing finals in the Motera would be fun to watch lol. South Africa is strong when they bat first and put up a mammoth total every single time. India's bowling unit is in dream form and so far they have restricted every opponent below 300, they are also incredibly good at chasing.

The Kiwis are also an unlucky team in the WC, so they deserve a spot in the finals due to their form. Would be heartbreaking for all 3 teams if Australia or someone else sneak in and claim the trophy.

LOL.. I have a feeling that in the end Australia is going to lift the trophy. India and South Africa both have a reputation of failing during the knockout phases. From what I have seen so far, Australia had a very poor start to their campaign. They suffered heavy defeats to India and South Africa, but then came back strongly with a massive win against Sri Lanka. And they followed it with a good thrashing given to Pakistan. They are getting better with each passing match and should be battle-ready by the time they play in semi-finals.
