A defeat today will make matters even worse for South Africa. This is their 13th match in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup Super League, and so far they have won just 4 of their matches (two of the matches ended as no-result). If things don't improve for South Africa, then they will end up playing the qualifying tournament in order to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Another historic day for this struggling Bangladesh cricket history as today they win first ever ODI series at South African soil after having historic test win in New Zealand surely millions of Bangladeshi fans today feeling proud of their teams this achievement with Taskin and Tamim both were hero for this historic win 5/35 from Taskin and 2/24 from Shakib completely dismantle home team, and they have just 156 on board which was enough for visitors to have their historic win in just 27 overs with this win now Bangladesh is at top of CWC super series table and South Africa dropped to ninth place.

Well play boys, congrats to all our Bangladeshi friends at this forum and around the world for this historic win.

Actually if we see on ODI cricket then Bangladesh isn't normal team. Because Bangladesh is good for ODI and they are trying to play well on T20 and Test format. Bangladesh team needs to perform regularly and it's a big challenge for them. Btw congratulations for a historical series win.

Moreover, A dominant Bangladesh side secure their first ever ODI series win in South Africa. Winning in a SENA country is truly an accomplishment for any Asian team. They have potential however not consistency, when they begin performing consistently they will be a competitive side in any competition against any team. The series win against South Africa on their own soil always a hard task for any team, congratulations Bangladesh team for this achievement.

Congratulations to Bangladesh. But at the same time, I am appalled at the horrific state of cricket in South Africa. How can they lose like this? It was a completely lopsided match, with Bangladesh winning by 9 wickets (24 overs to spare). Those who have been around for a while would remember that South Africa was the strongest cricketing nation during the 1990s. They were the favorites to win the 1999 World Cup (in which they lost the semi-finals). I guess two decades of quota policy and the installation of a quota product as the captain has completely destroyed them.

If you see performance of SA this year then it's fairly good. They levelled test series against New Zealand and wining test and odi against India. Just when we're saying that SA is regaining its lost glory this happened. Asian teams don't have good record when playing at SA but it's understandable as SA is no more strong team of 90s.
Congrats to Bangladesh, may be it's revival of cricket in Bangladesh.

I think it was all about the decision after winning the toss. The team batting first had some big disadvantages in all the matches in this series. In the 2nd ODI Bangladesh won the toss and decided to bat first and it went horribly wrong for them and the same thing happened in the 3rd ODI with South Africa.

I think I even heard  Shaun Pollock saying to the South African captain after the toss, ”you are going to bowl first right?” 
But to everyone's surprise, they decided to bat first and it was a big mistake.


@blatchcorn, I really like to see that happiness from the coaching staff after the Bangladesh win. it was also a really great and iconic moment between Tamim Iqbal and the coach after the match. Bangladesh played really well and deserved the series win. I also think that Bangladesh is going to be a lot more motivated right now.

It is the worst time for South African cricket that they are losing ODI series against Bangladesh, specially losing this last ODI by 9 wickets and 24 overs spare at home is surely one of there the worst performance in recent years. We all know how strong was South Africa few years back but now suddenly just because of internal politics and decisions which are coming just because of personal egos are hurting them very badly.

Their domestic set up is also having not good system which can bring some good and quality players because recently we have mostly average players coming which are mostly coming just because of colour without any merit is also having not good impact hopefully they will take this as wake-up call and now try to settle things in positive for Test Series.

Now things are very clear for ICC Women's World Cup as England outclass Pakistan very easily and now have their eyes on third spot with now they have last match against Bangladesh which is also very poor in technique and experience. After losing early matches, it's a big achievement for them to have this come back.

Three teams already out from Competition New Zealand, Bangladesh and Pakistan with two teams already secure their places in semi-final games and three are still in hot seats like West Indies having amazing start but now suddenly they are completely out of touch and lost matches against India and Pakistan and hard fought win against Bangladesh with today they lost one crucial point against South Africa due to rain now their slot depend on Indian win/lose if India win against South Africa then West Indies surely out and If they lost then they will be at fourth spot in case of rain still they will out.

I would say, you need to give credit to Bangladesh and how they played the series and surprised everyone. This is basically the same team India faced and they were not able to beat them recently and now Bangladesh was able to beat them easily and now everyone is complaining how bad a team South Africa is having  .
They put together the best team they had and Bangladesh was able to create history by winning a series and all credits to them.

Great points stated. No matter which team get qualified for 3/4 slot but one thing is for sure. Australia women cricket team is going to win the championship.
What an amazing game they played against New Zealand. There is something amazing about Aussie be it men's team or women's team. They do not compromise on less. Only victory!

The final round of matches for the preliminary phase is ongoing and even now it is possible for West Indies, England and India to qualify for the next round. Australia has so far won all of their matches are they are in a commanding position in the ongoing match against Bangladesh as well. South Africa is the second team that has qualified. After today's match, three more matches remain and the qualification slots for 3rd and 4th position will be decided on the basis of the outcome from these matches. My prediction for 3/4 is England and India.

My choice too India and England. We can't underestimate West Indies team. The women's team is also same as the West Indies mens team to give unexpected performance, and this time every match has got over. However India is to face South Africa which seems to be a tough match. For England it is to play against Bangladesh. In today's match Bangladesh have scored less, and Australia have lost early wickets. If it had scored above 200 runs, Bangladesh could've got a chance to win the match.

The way the Australian women's team is moving forward, no other team can afford to hold them back. They are playing great. Won all 6 matches. And every match they have dominated. They are equally strong in both bowling and batting. The title cannot be snatched from the Australian women's team unless a miracle occurs. Although India and England are good teams, they are failing to perform as well on a regular basis as Australia.

After beating Bangladesh they have completed there first stage with no loss, 7 out of 7 they have won. Australia is definitely favorite for this WC but we can't say with certainty that they will win. Teams like WI and SA are performing good and they can be as good as Australia on semi final day.

Who was expecting such points table in women WC. Till now only Australia, New Zealand and England have won women WC no other team has that honour. In this WC Australia still is favorite but chances of England and New Zealand have been shifted to South Africa and West Indies. I just want to see some new winner of thie tournament.

Australia is the best team in the tournament by far and I thought if anything could come close, it would have been England but the England team did not play well in this tournament, at least not as well as Australia. It will be really surprising if Australia actually goes on to lose this tournament. and hope they don't get too overconfident.

It was expected that we would see the Australian women's team at the top of the table. However, England's performance surprised everyone. They have lost the first 3 matches at once. Despite being able to win the next 3 matches, they are now in fourth place in the table.
On the other hand, the Indian team was in good form. However, they are not able to take advantage of the World Cup. They are now fifth on the table. But I think we will see Australia and England in the final.

No doubt West Indies is also very good team but sadly right now their situation is very interested they can't do anything for qualification just wait for two other matches which are having all their chances for qualification into next round, first England vs Bangladesh and second South Africa vs India.

If England and India won then surely they are going out of this competition and if India lost then they have chance for qualification in case of rain then still they will out of this competition because both England and India having better NRR from West Indies which is negative point for them. First two positions are already taken but third and fourth still need some more time for better clarification my view is India will beat South Africa, and they will qualify with third spot.

An easy win for New Zealand team today over Pakistan. New Zealand gave target of 265 runs and Pakistan concluded there WC journey by 71 runs short of that target. So far only Australia and SA have qualified for the semi finals. England have one match left with weak Bangladesh while India has to face mighty SA in there last encounter. Its

Actually, I think that England has a really good chance of qualifying for the semifinals. You know, Bangladesh should be an easy opponent for them.
But I think India versus South Africa is going to be really interesting. South Africa has already qualified for the semi-finals, they are tension free now.
So, it seems they are going to take things easy and that might help India.

No doubt now after losing first few matches England is heading for their semi-final spot after beating minors Bangladesh because they are defending champions and already have their lessons from these defeats against Australia, West Indies and South Africa.

Tomorrow we have every exciting matches between South Africa vs India this match is must win situation for India if they want to qualify for semi-final and South African already have their spot in this with good performance against all teams in group stages in last five matches South Africa beat India four times and India won only one time which happened in 2021 so now here we can expect some good fight from Indian team if they want to qualify and it is only practice match for South African as they have done their job. We can expect any result because South African will be relaxed and India could be desperate for their win.
