What an impressive comeback by South Africa in the series! They were trailing 2-0 but managed to secure a remarkable series victory. It's extraordinary, to say the least. The decision of the Aussie captain to bowl first three times in a row after winning the toss is surprising. Australians didn't perform well, and this should serve as a wake-up call for them, especially considering the upcoming World Cup.

Australia were missing some of their star players to be fair(Steve Smith, Pat Cummins etc) and they experimenting with some players which is why they will be a lot, lot stronger in the World Cup.

Also, they tend to perform really well in big events like the World Cup and they are one of the favorites this time around.

I have sad news and I have good news for Pakistan. The sad news is as you know that Naseem Shah is injured that’s why they don’t play some matches in the Asia Cup. Naseem Shah had a shoulder injury so they cannot play in the World Cup 2023 and the doctor of Naseem Shah said that most probably Naseem Shah needs to leave cricket for 1 year at least.

The good news is that M. Amir is coming to play in the World Cup 2023. M. Amir is replacing to Nassem Shah.

This was an impressive comeback from the SA team from 0-2 down to 3-2 win. It's all about SA's middle order. They are peaking at the right time, just before the World Cup, and they will be a dangerous side looking at the correct form of their players.
Let's hope their bad luck in the ICC World Cup ends this year.

Touring South Africa Australia had a great early performance and whitewashed South Africa in a three-match T20 series to win the T20I series. But despite Australia winning two consecutive matches in the first ODI series, the picture of the series changed in the third ODI match. Set a target of 338 runs to South Africa in the third ODI, Australia were defeated by 111 runs in that match. In the next two matches, South Africa scored over 300 runs in each match, and even though they were trailing 0–2 at the end, they won the next three matches to take the series 3–2 to South Africa. Admiring South Africa, it was truly a remarkable comeback that enabled South Africa to defeat Australia in the series.

The South African team has returned to the ODI series with much strength. After their defeat of the T20 series, they were expected to lose the ODI series as well, but their performances have been promoted. South Africa team win by big margin against Australia in the last three matches. So, we can be very confident that the team won due to their good performance. Some of my favorite players who perform well in the last match. They have been able to score big at the end of the series such as De Kock, Hendricks, Markram. In the 3rd ODI South Africa win by 111 runs, 4th match by 164 and 5th by 122 runs. So we definitely consider that it is a good come back.

India vs Sri Lanka match is really funny match. I really can't believe that an ODI match can be like this.  Where Sri Lanka have played very well in previous matches so far, how Sri Lanka lost all wickets for just 50 runs after playing more than 15 overs against India.  And India beat Sri Lanka by scoring 51 runs in just 6 overs. Now it seems that after losing the last match against Bangladesh, India is preparing very hard for the next match. The result of which was seen today he he he

I did not expect Sri Lanka team to perform so badly in this match. I think this match is lost due to bad performance of Sri Lanka team batsmen. Mohammed Siraj of India team has weakened Sri Lanka team by taking 6 wickets in this match.  I was a supporter of the Sri Lanka team in the match. I thought I would enjoy a fun match between the two teams but I never thought that Sri Lanka would lose so badly. India's batsman Ishan Kishan scored 23 runs off 18 balls. Shubman Gill scored 27 runs off 19 balls.

Yesterday was the final of Asia Cup 2023, and India won the Asia Cup 2023. This is a good thing that India won the final match, Indian players and the people of India are so happy about this wonderful victory. India deserved this Cup.

This was one of the best comeback by Proteas in this match after having whitewash in T20i and going down 2 - 0 in first two matches with this spirit we can expect better performance from them in ODI world cup which is now just 17 days away from us Maharaj, Marco Jansen, Klaasan and Markram all were on fire for the win of this series, and they have done enough job against new-look Australia which was without their few key players but still done decent job before going down into this series.

Injuries problem growing for Australia as now Head is also into this list but hopefully in next three ODI's against Australia they will do much better, and we will be able to watch how things will be happened to them in this big mega event where England is going to defend their title.

South Africa team is playing very well against Australia. South Africa lost all three matches of the T20 series, and South Africa lost the first two matches of the ODI series as well. After such a poor performance no one would have imagined that South Africa could win the series. Actually South Africa won the ODI series by winning the last three ODI matches, and you know in all these three matches their performance was very good. South Africa scored 338 runs in the third match, 416 runs in the fourth match and 315 runs in the last match, they won every match by a big margin. If this performance can be maintained, good things can be expected from the team in the upcoming ODI World Cup as well.

Yesterday was the final of Asia Cup 2023, and India won the Asia Cup 2023. This is a good thing that India won the final match, Indian players and the people of India are so happy about this wonderful victory. India deserved this Cup.

They totally deserved the cup, but the final itself was boring as hell. I felt sad for the audience who spent a lot of money and just watched a T-10 match instead of a complete 50 over ODI match.

If this performance can be maintained, good things can be expected from the team in the upcoming ODI World Cup as well.

I doubt it. They usually choke like crazy during World Cup tournaments weirdly and crash out.

Sirlinka very poor performance in the Asia Cup Final I am surprised to see it all out in just 50 runs. From Sirlanka Kusal Mendis is the only player to score 17 runs in 34 balls rest of the batters didn't enter in double figure. India bowling performance was outstanding in the Final Muhammad Siraj picked up 6 wickets and Hardik Pandya picked up 3 wickets by just giving 3 runs and all out Sirlanka in 15 overs. While India chased down the small target 51 runs in just 6 overs Shubman Gill scored unbeaten 27 runs and Ishan Kishan scored 23 not out in just 18 balls. The player of the match is Muhammad Siraj for his match winning performance.

Of course, no one expected Sri Lanka to perform so badly in the final.After a good performance against Pakistan, we were expecting a tough match between Sri Lanka and India, but his entire team proved to be a wall of sand, and none of the players could compete with the Indian bowlers. Only one Indian bowler proved to dominate the entire Sri Lankan team.


Anyone who has watched the Sri Lankan batting would have seen only the Sri Lankan batsmen coming and going from the pavilion, as the bowlers did not allow the batsmen to stay at the crease. On the other hand, the Indian team, which lost in the last match against Bangladesh, also showed a great performance and took the Sri Lankan team by storm. In this way, India won the Asia Cup title for the eighth time.

South Africa are currently under a lot of pressure with the loss of four wickets. South Africa has performed very well in the past matches but in today's last match the South African team lost wickets heavily. Losing wickets in power plays in ODI matches certainly puts the team under pressure.

Congratulations South Africa By winning with a decisive margin of 122 runs and won the series 3-2. Aiden Markram and the middle-order batsmen produced a commanding total of 315/9 despite losing their leader early. Australia was startled by the bowlers, who held them to just 193 runs under the leadership of the mysterious spinner Maharaj and the teenage prodigy Marco Jansen.  Aiden Markram received the Player of the Series award for his consistency, while Marco Jansen received the Player of the Match honor for his all-around excellence. In my opinion for South Africa this victory is a key turning point that will bolster their spirits before the World Cup.

In the last three matches, South Africa defeated Australia by a huge margin to prove how strong they are on South African soil. If Australia wins two matches in a row in the ODI series, the chances of Australia winning the series increases a lot. We discussed that South Africa were never going to let Australia go so easily even though Australia were ahead in the first two matches. From the third match, South Africa has performed amazingly in batting and bowling against Australia. As a result, South Africa defeated Australia by 111 runs in the first ODI match, 166 runs in the second ODI match, and 122 runs in the third ODI match. Just before the World Cup, South Africa told the cricket world with a great performance against Australia that they are a favorite team in the upcoming World Cup.

The decision of the Aussie captain to bowl first three times in a row after winning the toss is surprising. Australians didn't perform well, and this should serve as a wake-up call for them, especially considering the upcoming World Cup.

Australia were missing some of their star players to be fair(Steve Smith, Pat Cummins etc) and they experimenting with some players which is why they will be a lot, lot stronger in the World Cup.

Also, they tend to perform really well in big events like the World Cup and they are one of the favorites this time around.

Without the mentioned players Australia won the first two ODI matches. Last three matches were really good for South Africa. Australia won the toss in last 3 matches and in all the three matches South Africa is asked to bat first. South Africa used the opportunity well and scored 338/6, 416/5, 315/9 and defended well winning the series. I expect South Africa to give similar performance in the upcoming ODI World Cup and Australia will take it a learning and prepare themselves stronger than before.

This was a great performance from South Africa. And of course, this is definitely a great comeback from them. I did not think that Australia was going to lose all three matches that were left. But I think we all can agree that it was actually a bad performance from Australia. They should have done much better with the three matches that they have lost. I understand that all the players were not available for Australia. But that is never going to be an excuse accepted by people. Imagine them performing like this in the World Cup and saying that they did not have all the players available and that's why they perform like this.

[Webetcoins]

South Africa winning a series always used to be a great task. Most of the time South Africa team used to perform well, and they won't win at the end. This makes me think South Africa to be unlucky to win matches as well as series. Even in this tournament the team made a good comeback, and in today's match I thought somehow Australia will chase the target. Luckily things favoured South Africa and the team have won the series. Marco Jansen's five wicket haul and his 47 runs from 23 balls from the lower order is really great contribution that had helped in the winning of the match.

Most of the time in bilateral series at home they have impressive record and in this series they have done good fightback after going down by 0 - 2 against mighty Australians which were playing with their mostly youngsters and their performance was more than amazing but South African also have enough quality which bring them back into competition and things are looking much better than before their bowlers are also having good job and giving good support to batting side which his hitting 300+ on their day.

Now real test is going to start in World Cup where mostly they choked and have never been good performance after 1992 world cup, hopefully they will be able to turn the tables this time, and we will have good performance which will bring them to the good level.

When it comes to world cup it is sure Australia will be very careful playing matches. It is an easy way to win the the match after leading a 5 match series 2-0. Australia have got different plan, if not they could've never chosen to bowl first after winning the toss. South Africa got good players, and in the first two matches the contribution from Bavuma is exceptional. If he hadn't performed well, the match could've gone completely one sided. This time most of the Matches were in good form and expecting some good cricket in the World Cup.

[3kpk3]

Looks like Naseem has been completely ruled out of the upcoming World Cup and might not be able to play for an year or something due to a shoulder injury which is a big blow to the Pakistan team.

Also, Ashwin is back along with Sundar for the Ind-Aus series since Axar got injured though it isn't a major injury.

[noormcs5]

I have sad news and I have good news for Pakistan. The sad news is as you know that Naseem Shah is injured that’s why they don’t play some matches in the Asia Cup. Naseem Shah had a shoulder injury so they cannot play in the World Cup 2023 and the doctor of Naseem Shah said that most probably Naseem Shah needs to leave cricket for 1 year at least.

The good news is that M. Amir is coming to play in the World Cup 2023. M. Amir is replacing to Nassem Shah.

I would consider it only as bad news for the Pakistan team. Just before the start of the world cup, they lost of one their major fast bowler., Naseem Shah as he is injured.

Although we know about Muhammad Amir as he is also a good bowler however i do not know if he is in the form or not. I haven't seen him play for the Pakistan team for a long time. Yes, he has got the pace and he is sort of a furious bowler like Shoaib Akhtar, but I do not know if he could be successful on the pitches of India.

Muhammad Amir career from Pakistan is very much over, currently he has got UK residency and is settled there. There are few options to replace Naseem Shah like Muhammad Hasnain, Hassan Ali and Shahnawaz. I think Muhammad Hasnain is a good option as he has got pace and can be effective on Indian pitches.

[ZAINmalik75]

Looks like Naseem has been completely ruled out of the upcoming World Cup and might not be able to play for an year or something due to a shoulder injury which is a big blow to the Pakistan team.

Yeh it's still not confirmed but most of news has come out that he will be out of the entire world Cup also may be he will not available for Pakistan super league 2024 too because management didn't want to get risk on this youngester career and may be his shoulder injury should damage his class. So
I think it's right decision from Pakistani cricket board because still they have alot number of quality young blowers who can not completely delivered like Naseem but will done good as much as possible. Some rumers about M.Amir has come out from different media channels but it think it's not possible as he is retired and already done his job so providing opportunities to him again will be unfair decision with youngsters. Also baber and management decided to done as much a minor changes

We should wait for the complete news from the Pakistan cricket board,the most of the bowlers will be used in the World Cup.Becasue the bowling of Pakistan was enough for the Pakistan to get the Cup.The bowling is the important part of the cricket,any can make runs.But taking the wicket will change the entire things in the cricket.The quality of the bowling was in good standard in both the Women and Men team of Pakistan.So both men and women team will target for the cup this time.
