ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

The Hitman had answer to their criticising person by his duck out in the match against the Australia.
-snip-

Rohit is one of the best players in the World at the moment, and he proved it yesterday. The way he batted with ease shows his class and quality. Bad luck can happen in cricket, but he comes back strongly. Yes, he broke Kapil Dev's record of the fastest century in World Cups by some margin. India is in the mood to win this World Cup with ease. Afghanistan was ordinary in the batting and bowling departments. At one stage, they were looking at a target over 300, but then they lost wickets at regular intervals and could get the desired total. The bowling was not up to their standards.

The match between South Africa and Australia will be very interesting. SA batters are in very good form, and the AUS bowling looked a bit off-colour in the last match against India; Zampa looked ordinary. I think this will be a close match, but South Africa will win the match eventually.

Australia vs South Africa
Today is the 10th match of the World Cup South Africa vs Australia. Both these teams have played 1 match each. South Africa batted brilliantly in the first match, setting the record for the highest score. On the other hand, Australia had a poor performance against India in their first match. Australia will try to do better today. Both teams are strong, it is difficult to accurately predict which team will win. ODI Ranking South Africa is at number 4 and Australia at number 3. If South Africa wins today, it will rise to number 1 in the points table, if Australia wins, it may rise to number 5 in the points table. Today we will see a competitive match.

As long as the South African bowlers are in poor form, their chances of winning against strong teams will remain minimal. They have some great batsmen and all of them are in great form. But if their bowlers leaks runs all over the ground, there is a limit up to which their batsmen can try to win the matches. Australia went down in the opening match, but that was against one of the strongest teams in this tournament. On the other hand, South Africa had a big win. But that came against one of the weakest teams in this world cup.

In this match I hope Australia team will have more chances to win today. Because in the previous match Australia team lost due to bad performance so today will try their best to win today's match. The match between two teams will start in a short time. It will be understood when the match starts.  Which team will win today's match. South Africa team won the match with very good batting and bowling in the previous match, waiting to see how they will play in today's match.

Yes of course Australia will try their best to win this match. But wait South Africa is also good because if you take a look on the previous match of South Africa with Sri Lanka. South Africa made 428 runs. Means they also have the ability to win this match. So I hope South Africa will win this match according to their last match performance. By the way both teams are good so at this time we can't predict. So let's watch.

[rojan]

The match of Australia vs South Africa team has already started. Australia won the toss and chose to bowl. Now South Africa came to bat. They scored 97 runs in 17 overs. So far South Africa team has not lost any wicket. Australia team is not so good performance in the bowling line.  Can't do it. Australia team may not perform well today in this match. South Africa team batsman Quinton de Kock scored 59 runs off 54 balls. Temba Bavuma scored 32 runs off 48 balls.

By the way both teams are good so at this time we can't predict. So let's watch.

You are focusing only on one side. It is true that South Africa made a massive total (428/5). Three of their batsmen (Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen and Aiden Markram) made centuries. But you are forgetting the fact that in return the South African bowlers also leaked runs, and allowed Sri Lanka to get to 326 from 44.5 overs. Marco Jansen went for 92 in his 10 overs (despite his IPL experience). Kagiso Rabada and Gerald Coetzee were only slightly more economical. And Keshav Maharaj failed to pick wickets when it mattered.

South Africa Cricket Team vs Australia Cricket Team. At the very beginning of today's match play, the Australian cricket team has chosen the fielding site. How strong the Australian team players can play in the fielding site in this match cannot be said yet.  Because the game has just begun. How deadly can Australia bowlers be against South Africa in today's match It is a game of few overs, will be understood only after crossing.

But so far, 13 overs of play have been completed. The bowlers of the Australian cricket team have yet to show good bowling till the 13th over. If the Australian team cannot perform well in bowling in today's match. Then, there will be more chances of Australia team losing against South Africa in this match as well. South Africa's batting is off to a good start. The South African team has so far played 13 overs, amassing 68 runs without a wicket. If South Africa continues to bat like this. Then the South African cricket team can give a big target to the Australian team

And Keshav Maharaj failed to pick wickets when it mattered.

Despite posting high scores, the South African bowlers did not perform their duties properly. I would say the South African bowlers were confident that they would win easily, maybe that's why their bowling wasn't very good. Maybe we will see a better performance from the South African bowlers in today's match. But if the South African bowlers are not in form, then it will not be easy to defeat a big team like Australia.

It cannot be said that the Australian batsmen are also in very good form. The team scored only 199 runs against India. Their batting was very weak. And so the match is likely to be very competitive. Along with the performance of South Africa's bowlers, the performance of Australia's batsmen is also somewhat weak.

Bavuma got out after collecting 35 runs off 55 balls. Honestly I didn't expect a better performance from Bavuma. But de Kock is playing brilliantly. Africa collected 127 runs in 23 overs. de Kock scored 81 runs off 76 balls.

Well.. Bavuma is dragging down the entire team. In a tournament where totals of 350 plus are being easily chased down, having a strike rare of 63 is not acceptable. Either he needs to sit out and provide opportunity to more deserving people, or at least he can bat down the order so that either Rassie van der Dussen or Heinrich Klaasen can open the batting along with Quinton de Kock. South Africa are at 210/3 after 37.3 overs at this point. Without Bavuma, they would have easily crossed 250-260, and ended up with a total of at least 350.

Bavuma may be a very talented player. But I have seen a better performance than Bavuma in very few matches. Also I don't like Bavuma's batting style. Still he is the captain of the South African team. I don't know why Bavuma was made captain.

In the end, the South African team could not collect 350. Bavuma's strike rate was only 63 and Dussen's strike rate was 86. Besides, the strike rate of every batsman in the square was more than 100. South Africa set a target of 312 runs in 50 overs. It's a pretty good collection considering the pitch I'd say. Now everything depends on the performance of the South African bowlers. South Africa will win if the bowlers bowl well

[3kpk3]

De Kock is one fire with back to back centuries. Poor guy got himself out unluckily due to which their team runrate dropped drastically. Maxwell was epic grabbing crucial wickets while giving away just a couple of runs.

This match will probably go down to the wire since the South African bowling lineup is okayish.

Well South Africa scored a decent defendable target of 311/7 after end of first innings with a significant contribution of thier oppner batter  de Kock and middle order batters like markram. No doubt it's fast bowlers graveyard pitch but still due to some kind of slow start from thier captain bavuma keep south Africa below 350, if he add some kind of firey innings then may be possibly they scored above 350 which will make thier side more confident and more difficult to defeat but now things are 50 50 but I think Australia will not continue his world cup run  with two opening matches defeat. they will try everything to get victory and they will if they just continue the inning with 7 around run rate which I think should not be impossible for this classey players.

Maxi was exceptional today. South Africa scored at well over 6 runs per over and he had figures of 10-1-34-2. Almost everyone else went for more than 6 runs per over, with a lot of catches being dropped and runs conceded as a result of misfields. If Australia had fielded well, then they could have easily restricted South Africa to a total of less than 300. Even now, I would say that Australia is likely to win this match. South Africa is without Nortje, and their pacers (Marco Jansen and Kagiso Rabada) are not in good form.

Yes, both teams have strong strength in today match for getting victory. Previously, Australia team badly lost by India team so their batting and bowling style were not good. But in this match, we see better performance in bowling style they stop all African Team at 311 scores. At present, Australian batter come in the crease for showing their batting performence. If there first two batter successfully made a strong combination for long time then they will give lot of pressure to South Africa and they also able to defend this 311 scores easily. Quinton de Kock batsman perform very impressive and made a century for their team and he also made this one in their first match.

The target is big enough. Since the Australian batsmen could not do well in the first match. Can't even score 200 runs. Australia's two openers Mitchell Marsh and Dawid Warner are batting very carefully today. Australia collected only 16 runs in 5 overs. Run rate is around 3. Australia's squad has several talented batsmen of world class. And so if the team does not lose quick wickets then they can win with a target of 312 runs. But at the moment the performance of the Australian batsmen is very erratic. So it cannot be said for sure whether Australia will win by batting against 312 runs. Considering Australia's performance at the end of 20 overs, it might be predictable.

[cozytrade]

South African team player Quinton de Kock is one of the most talked about players in this year's World Cup. Quinton de Kock has maintained his playing skills consistently. This year's ICC Cricket World Cup, today's match is South Africa's number two match. Quinton de Kock ended the game brilliantly scoring centuries in both matches. Quinton de Kock scored two back-to-back centuries to garner much praise. Hopefully, Quinton de Kock can maintain his excellent performance in the upcoming matches.

In today's match against Australia, through the transparent batting of the batsmen of the South African team, the South African team finished the first innings by setting a target of 312 runs for the Australian cricket team. Hope the players of South Africa cricket team can create excitement in the bowling site in the second innings as well

South Africa team performed very well today they scored 311 runs which is a big run score. But here both teams are almost equally strong which is why I still can't predict which team will win. However, the Australian team could not put much pressure on the bowling side at the beginning of the game, due to which the South African team managed to collect 311 runs. Meanwhile, Australia team batting line is very strong due to which today's match if they can protect the wicket and stay on the field till the end then there is definitely a chance of winning.

[Bureau]

Any score above 300 runs was not what Australia planned to get as a target. This game is slowly sliding away from the hands of the Australian team, which has already lost 2 early wickets. Both Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne are out of form, they won't be able to last long. South Africans suddenly barged into this World Cup as hot favorites. Earlier England, Australia, India, and Pakistan were favorites, as of now that combination has changed. As per my understanding, South Africa will replace Australia in that prediction. It might be one of the worst performances from the Australian team they as in the ACB messed up the player's selection to the next level.

South Africa brilliant Batting 6th consecutive 300 plus score in ODIs for South Africa. Their batting looks so strong. South Africa sets a good total 311/7 in 50 Overs on the board, inning of Quinton de Kock brilliant century 109 Runs. Glenn Maxwell completes one of his best spells, impressively not conceding a single boundary 2/34 in his full 10 Overs. Australia Fielders didn't help much, but the bowlers managed to make a bit of comeback at the end. I think it's big total for South Africa, Australia have to chase 312 to avoid back to back defeats in this world cup

[Crypto Library]

The target is big enough. Since the Australian batsmen could not do well in the first match. Can't even score 200 runs. Australia's two openers Mitchell Marsh and Dawid Warner are batting very carefully today. Australia collected only 16 runs in 5 overs. Run rate is around 3. Australia's squad has several talented batsmen of world class. And so if the team does not lose quick wickets then they can win with a target of 312 runs. But at the moment the performance of the Australian batsmen is very erratic. So it cannot be said for sure whether Australia will win by batting against 312 runs. Considering Australia's performance at the end of 20 overs, it might be predictable.

I don't think the Australia team can do anything better today. Their bowling performance in today's match has been bad, along with that, their batting performance in the last match has continued. Rather, I would say that today against South Africa, their batting lineup is performing worse than previous match.
Currently, 16 over are running and their 5 wickets are already a loose target is on very high, their required run rate is currently over seven. And their current run rate is around 4.2. I think they have lost all the good batsmen they had. I don't see any hope for Australia to win this match. Why do I feel that Australia will be at the bottom of the points table in this ICC World Cup, and I will say that the improvement of their batting lineup was not seen in these two matches, let's see if it will be seen in the future of this strong team. But for today's match I would say South Africa will be the winner
