South Africa - England

Yeh I think taking decision of batting first is a wise choice because pitch are not bowler friendly so it's a great chance for SouthAfrica to build a strong target to defend, now the initial batter like De kock and the captain T.bavuma didn't score good to give a strong momentum to upcoming batter for good target. Now Van Der dussen take a charge and score a good partnership 71 runs with a klassen but now it's broken only van der dussen left with 70 not out . South Africa has totally 202 runs in 36 over while four batter are down

As far as I know England cricket team plays very good cricket. A target of more than 300 runs against them in a 50 over match is very good. Because there are some good batsmen in the England team, who can win the match once they form a partnership between themselves.

South Africa could not collect 300 runs. South Africa's collection was 75 runs in the first 10 overs. Then their batting started to slow down. And at the end of 50 overs, South Africa collected 298 runs after losing 7 wickets. They should have collected at least 20/30 more runs on this pitch. Still, if the bowlers are able to bowl well, South Africa might be able to win. But England's batsmen are very experienced.

No doubt this was good decision by South Africa after winning toss having bat first but at the end their batsmen fail to set good target because right now as we have English batting lineup South Africa needs target around 320 to 330 which could be good for them but still we are going to have an interesting match with England having very good batting lineup, and they all are firing in last few months which is plus point for them but now how they will face South African pace attack it's interesting Rabada, Nortje and Parnell are also having good time to bowl at home against world champions.

Dussen and Miller are hero's for the South African batting as after having good start they have done good batting in middle and reach at the target of 298.

A big congratulations to Rassie van der Dussen for scoring his 4th ODI century! In the first ODI against England, he scored a magnificent century that led the Proteas to a competitive total. They started quickly but were kept under 300. Is England going to be able to catch it? To win, England needs 299 runs, not a big total, but they must take precautions. There is a possibility that England may be able to chase down the target in less than 50 overs if things go well.

Still, if the bowlers are able to bowl well, South Africa might be able to win. But England's batsmen are very experienced.

Well, The bowlers bowled 11 overs so far and no wicket yet. Jason Roy And Dawid Malan keep charging them. They are scoring good runs. The current run rate is over six right now. They scored 77 from twelve overs so far. I would say it's a good start from England Openers. Let's see how long they can go. RSA Bowlers need to take a wicket here and owling tight. Still, it's the beginning. Let's wait and see the match for the result.

England lost their first wicket for 146 runs. But they lost three wickets within 152 runs. Ben Duckett 3 and Harry Brook returned to the dressing room for 0 runs. They should have batted more responsibly. However, Jason Roy is still unbeaten at the crease with 94 runs. And if Roy is at the crease then England will win the match. But now if Jason Roy is out then it will not be easy for England to win this match. Roy must try to survive the creek. Because after losing three consecutive wickets, the England team is now in a lot of trouble.

South Africa and England face each other today in a 3-match ODI series. South Africa scored 298 runs in 50 overs. South African player van der Dussen scored a wonderful century in the first innings. Miller also scored 53 runs to increase the team's total. But that total score could not be a big one for the England team. England lost only 3 wickets and the team amassed 161. Just 138 runs needed to win. Current run rate is 6.76 and required run rate is 5.27. If the South African bowlers are not able to take a few more wickets quickly then England will win this match easily.

Agreed about this all suddenly three wickets bring back South Africa into match now all depend on this last pair which is at the crease because after them England having very long tail with Moeen Ali and Sam Curran can do batting but right now required runs are still 133 with 25 overs left.

Jason Roy is in good touch with having blasting Century on just 79 balls, but now it's time to have calm down and spend good time on crease for having better end of this match after having ideal start with opening stand of 146 South African attack are not looking as they have to be for this first ODI against world champions.

Jason Roy returned to the dressing room with 113 runs. I thought Jason Roy would score around 130-150 runs. However, there are still experienced players like Buttler and Curran at the crease. Moeen Ali got out after collecting only 11 runs. England still needs 70 runs to win. Apart from Buttler and Curran, there are no experienced batsmen. If these two batsmen cannot stay at the crease then England will not be able to win. Anyway now I am enjoying the match. I expect England to win.

England lost 1st wicket on 146 runs and after that they didn't build any good partnership,  their batting lineup is almost put and back to pavilion,  now  Sam Curran and jos butler is left who can compete remaining runs . Outstanding innings by Jason Roy,  still England has great margin to win as they have plenty of balls and 5 wickets in hand .

[Mahdirakib]

However, Jason Roy is still unbeaten at the crease with 94 runs. And if Roy is at the crease then England will win the match. But now if Jason Roy is out then it will not be easy for England to win this match. Roy must try to survive the creek. Because after losing three consecutive wickets, the England team is now in a lot of trouble.

England has lost their 7th wicket just now. They need 43 more runs from the last 10 overs. England should have an easy victory in this match for their successful opening partnership. But the situation of the game has changed unexpectedly. The betting odds was 1.12× for England win a few minutes ago. Now the odds is getting in favour of South Africa.

After a great start from England chasing a total of 298 runs, they are struggling as South Africa was able to pick wickets at regular intervals and England already lost their 7th wicket. The only hope is Sam Curran is still in the crease with the tail end and they still need 42 runs to win the match which is going to be really tough and i had to cash out the bet as i am not having any hope with the tail  .

This is the very crucial part of the match, because fall of wickets could change the result of the match. England have lost the wicket of Sam Curran and now they're in need of another 33 runs in 48 balls. This is reall tough scenario as both the teams do the best to win the match. Adil Rashid at 10* and Archer into the crease need to have patience while scoring as they don't have wickets.

A shameful defeat for the world champions after having 146 runs first wicket stand they lost this match by 27 runs amazing fight back by South African which are having tag of Chokers, but today they have done good job and fight back very bravely even Jason Roy done good job but after the fall of Jason Roy no English batsman able to play for the win, and they lost quick wickets and match very quickly with this win now South African feel better because this is most wanted win for them if they want to direct entry into World Cup2023.

Youngster Magala and Nortje both were hero's for the home team as both done good bowling after bad start from them but with the better strategy and consistency they were able to achieve their target even many were feeling this is not good score by South African batting but their bowlers done amazing job and give them lead in this series.

Today's South Africa vs England match saw a lot of joy from the cricket lovers at the beginning of the game.  England have been performing very well in the cricket world but today's match was completely different.  South Africa will perform so well Van der Dussen scored a century with 111 runs.  Meanwhile, England's Roy scored 113 runs off 91 balls.  Despite Roy's good performance, he could not take the team to the top because of his bowling and some of the batting went out for zero runs.  It is never possible for Eka to win the team but he has shown very good performance for the team.

Openers Jason Roy and Dawid Milan started the innings responsibly but the rest of the team's batsmen performed poorly. I expected better performances from Buttler and Moeen Ali. But at the end of the day England team was defeated by 27 runs. After collecting 146 runs in the first wicket pair, it is a shame not to win. The batsmen batted like fools. England's collection was 146 in just 19.3 overs. England was in control of the match. England lost this match because of the stupidity of the batsmen.

[Sithara007]

Yesterday's win may prove to be very crucial for South Africa. Now they have 69 points from 20 matches in the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. They just need two more wins to overtake West Indies. It should not be much of a problem, given that two of their remaining matches are against Netherlands. Even then, one more win against England in the remaining two ODIs should place them in a very comfortable position. As things stand now, South Africa will gain direct qualification to the ODI World Cup, while West Indies and Sri Lanka will be playing the qualifier tournament in order to gain entry.

2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier will run from 18th June to 9th July this year. Apart from the 5 bottom ranking teams from the Cricket World Cup Super League (as per current situation - West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Netherlands), there will be 3 teams from League 2 (most probably Scotland, Oman and Namibia), and 2 teams from the Qualifier Play-off (maybe USA and Nepal?).

South Africa's team was looking strong in this match. England also tried very well. Both teams were good. In my point of view the match was interesting. South Africa made 298 runs and they gave 7 wickets but on the other hand England was trying to win but unfortunately England's team got all out in 44 overs and made only 271 runs. From South Africa team Rassie made century(111) on 117 balls.
And in the England team Jasson played well he made 113 runs on 91 balls.
Both teams played well.

England's posibility of winning yesterday's match were high but who expected that they lose in that match? In the second innings England bat against 298 runs where Jason Roy and Dawid Malan scored significantly well but other teammates failed. As a result, they had to be defeated even in an easy match. This is the first match of the series there will have two matches left so England will be desperate to keep the series alive.

Myself believed England will win the match till it was 266/7. Once England lost the wicket of Sam Curran I lost the hope, because the tail end players can't be expected to score against the bowlers of South Africa. Anrich Nortje contributed good taking 4 wickets. For England the opening is good, and the middle order didn't contribute. If the middle order had added few runs, the tail end would've taken the match towards a win as there won't be much of pressure.

First of all, it was a great performance in South Africa. They did very well too. Give a target close to 300 Rassie got his century. It was a well constructed century as well. Overall a great performance from all the players of South Africa. And we also can see that this performance was not only good in one inning from South Africa. They perform well in both innings. In batting and bowling both.

On the other hand, England's batting performance was not very good. The openers played really well. And the way England started I thought they are going to win. Jason Roy and David Malan performed really well. But other than that, the other batman of England absolutely failed to do any kind of scoring. This is certainly a great performance from South Africa and let's see how they perform going forward.
