ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[TakeItEasy]

South Africa and New Zealand clashed in the 32nd match of the ICC Cricket World Cup. South Africa team is batting first after losing the toss in today's match. The South African team lost a wicket early in the batting. Although the South African team lost a wicket early in the batting, the batting position of the South African team is very good. The South African team has so far collected 124 runs for the loss of one wicket in 25 overs. If the South African team can play the entire innings like this. I am hopeful that the South African team can give New Zealand a big target in today's match.  New Zealand bowling is not that strong in this match. The balls of the New Zealand team bowlers have been mastered by the South African team batsmen very easily. Now let's finally see how many runs the South African team can target to New Zealand

Another win for the brilliant team South Africa as I called them 400+ Team  . Mostly they made 400+ runs as we can today they were just short of some runs to score 400. Although they played what they needed they still preferred the best team for the World Cup who are working hard for the team and they have engaged in winnings recently. We have also seen good cricket from Quinton de Kock today and knowing its career he always scores the best runs for his team.

On the other hand New Zealand Team was called strong enough to chase down these runs as we saw them against the Australia team in the previous match but today they failed to score and crossed the 200 runs even. They have to improve their batting lineup to face some good bowlers and score against them. Hope to see the form of New Zealand Team Batsmen again as they are a good team.

New Zealand are bowling first after winning the toss. Tim Southee comes in for Lockie Ferguson. Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi. NewZealand won toss and elected to bowl first. Both team 1 changes in the playing XI for both New Zealand and South Africa. South Africa Kagiso Rabada replaces Tabraiz Shamsi and from Tim Southee takes the place of Lockie Ferguson. I think South Africa will score 400 runs if the openiors partnership is successful

I do not think so that in today's match South Africa squad successfully will made a 400 score defending target because their opponent squad also very strong team New Zealand. It was a right decision of New Zealand squad to won toss and invite South Africa squad come in crease and start batting inning. New Zealand bowler Trent Boult has picked up the wicket of South Africa's leader Temba Buvama. This batter got out after making 24 scores and then finished. Currently, two big and powerful batter is playing in crease and if these batters will not catch up by any bowler of New Zealand squad then South Africa squad set a 300 plus score defending target to New Zealand.

South Africa gave a target of 358 runs to New Zealand in the 32nd match of World Cup.South Africa played very well especially De kock and Van der dussen.De kock made excellent 114 runs in just 116 balls and Van der dussen performed 133 runs in only 118 balls. These two players well  contributed in this match to stand a big score ,these players are in good form and South African team is present on the 2nd number in points table of World Cup and After winning this match, South African team will be at the top of points table.This is not small target and New Zealand score is 36 with fall of 1 wicket in 7.2 overs.Zew Zealand played excellent in last match but lose due to bad luck.

One more great victory of South Africa squad in today match by huge difference of defending target. Getting victory from this match now South Africa squad jump into first position in standings table by five victory from 6 matches and lose one match with 2.209 plus net run rate and total 12 points their team earned. There is the tough competition in between India squad and South Africa squad both teams show brilliance performances in all previous matches which they played. In today's match, Sounth Africa won this match due to thrilling performance of one of the opener batter Quinton de Kockand Rassie van der Dussen.

New Zealand was defeated by a huge margin. I can't imagine New Zealand losing by such a big margin. Despite losing the last two matches, both matches were very competitive. But in today's match we saw the dominance of South African players only. New Zealand's next match is against Pakistan. If New Zealand doesn't win this match too, they won't be able to finish fourth in the table. At the same time, we may soon see the Afghanistan team at the fourth place in the table. Afghanistan will play against the Netherlands in the next match. If Afghanistan wins this match by a big margin, the team will move to fourth place in the table.

New Zealand win the toss but new Zealand wanna bolling against to south Africa .South Africa make 357 runs in 50 overs and six out target to new Zealand. South Africa enthusiastic batting against new Zealand. New Zealand want won this match but south Africa struggle is very high. Batsman of south Africa batting at peak and gave a target of 357 runs in 50 overs.  If new Zealand lose this match will  increase the run rate of Pakistan.New Zealand could not complete this target. South Africa knocked new Zealand out of the match very easily.  South Africa has achieved a great success by wining this match.

The performance of the South African team has been excellent since the start of this World Cup. It is extremely difficult for the bowlers of any team especially to stop their batsmen from scoring runs. The South African team often makes the score so that the batsmen of the opposing team come under pressure from the beginning.

Compared to the previous match, New Zealand's batting failed completely in today's match, and the entire team was bowled out for 167 runs in 35.3 overs in pursuit of 358 runs. Apart from Glenn Phillips who scored 60 runs off 50 balls, none of the New Zealand players could show good batting performance. I think this performance was not expected from New Zealand who lost by a huge margin of 190 runs. Rather, the New Zealand team is considered one of the good teams in the World Cup and they were expected to put up a good fight.

[Popkon6]

The South African team is struggling with a very good performance in the current position. The New Zealand team was at the 1st position in the points table at the beginning of this season but from there, due to poor performance, the New Zealand team will occupy the fourth position in the points table. And in the current position South Africa team is performing very well. Both the batting line and bowling line of the South Africa team were strong today due to which the New Zealand team had enough to resist. New Zealand's powerplay saw wickets fall as they lost by a wide margin to South Africa today. Keshab Maharaj had the best bowling performance picking up four wickets which was enough to take his team to the end.

[3kpk3]

India and South Africa have booked two semifinals spots which implies that the remaining teams are duking it out for the remaining 2 spots. Australia will most probably occupy one spot, but the final spot is still up for grabs.

New Zealand keeps sinking though they are still in contention while Afghanistan are behind them. Pakistan would need a miracle to grab that spot.

South Africa once again top the table with 6 wins in seven matches so far in world cup 2023. After four consecutive victories, New Zealand has now suffered three consecutive losses at the world cup. New Zealand lost 5th match against india by 4 wickets, new Zealand also lost their 6th match against Australia by 5 runs and Now new Zealand lost match against South Africa by huge margin of 190 runs. Rassie Van Der Dussen is awarded the Player of the Match for his outstanding knock of 133(118) against New Zealand which led his team to a victory.

[TakeItEasy]

India will take on Sri Lanka in tomorrow's match, India is a strong team as compared to the Sri Lankan Team and they didn't play good cricket in their few matches, through which we have seen their loss to the teams and we have also seen some upsets in this world cup as well. Mostly fans like to enjoy sixes and hits all over the boundaries from different players of the countries but if some players fail to do so, then users usually don't take full enjoyment of that match.

India has a large margin of wins over the team of Sri Lanka, as they played 167 matches with each other in which the Indian Cricket Team won 98 matches while the Sri Lankan Team only won 57 matches which is not that much, so also in winning the matches against the Sri Lanka India has got some lead and a good stat of lead. Indian players are quite in form nowadays and they are playing better cricket especially Rohit Sharma hots huge sixes we have seen in previous matches.

Today is the sad news for New Zealand cricket team fans and I know that you know what is the sad news for New Zealand cricket team fans.
The loss in today's match means that New Zealand has not confirmed their place in the semi finals yet.

As you know New Zealand team didn’t perform as well as they should have because this was an important match for New Zealand but they were too close to losing and I know when you saw my post South Africa would already be the winner. New Zealand needed too many runs and they don’t have wickets left with them to chase. New Zealand's winning chances were less as soon as they started losing early wickets.

[JunaidAzizi]

Another comfortable victory for South Africa by 190 runs in this world cup and place in top of the table. South African bowlers put up an outstanding performance with the ball to outclass wob by 190 runs against New Zealand in Pune. i think New Zealand has only to blame themselves. South Africa has completely outclassed New Zealand today with the bat and ball. Centuries from De Kia and Rassie de van Dussen played an excellent knock 133(118) then Jansen and Maharaj did the prest. A lesson for every team in this World Cup Never ask South Africa to bat first after winning the toss.

Hahaha yeah, I think after this match the teams understood to not give bat to South Africa to bat first after winning the toss. The Pakistani team also had this Lucky thing whenever they played first they won that match . The SA team did a well performance in today's match. The two players kock and Dussen did such wonderful runs not only high runs but on such fewer balls. They proved themselves again and again and de Kock did his best just like M Rizwan. However, the SA team is just below the Indian team by just two points if they win another match they will be placed side to the Indian team. If India and SA come to the final it will be gonna very entertaining for us.

The way South Africa played in today's match against New Zealand, they played an interesting batting mainly to win. Having won today's match they have won six matches, losing only one match, so far, while other teams have managed to win only one match. South Africa are currently ahead of India in the points table, the way they are playing in ICC 2023, they might make it to the finals. While 2019 ICC champions England are bottom of the points table and have played their worst season and will not be selected for the World Cup, South Africa are in better form than any other team. And against New Zealand today, South African batsmen van der Dussen and de Kock scored the most runs in the partnership that won the match. Moreover, today's match will compete with India on the points table, where both teams have 12 points.

Today is the sad news for New Zealand cricket team fans and I know that you know what is the sad news for New Zealand cricket team fans.
The loss in today's match means that New Zealand has not confirmed their place in the semi finals yet.

I didn't expect that New Zealand can chocked so badly, I thought they will show a decent fight, but first they leak unexpected high runs and later their entire Main player unable to tackle a single spinner who most of their wickets and put them in a real trouble situation now things can be worse for New Zealand because their net run rate fall from 1+ to 0.4 which definitely allow Pakistan team to be in the game. Now the upcoming match for New Zealand and Pakistan with each other will be deciding match because here if New Zealand won they will definitely qualify for semis and have upper hand on them but if they lose they there were high possibility for Pakistan to qualify for semifinals.

The South African team is struggling with a very good performance in the current position. The New Zealand team was at the 1st position in the points table at the beginning of this season but from there, due to poor performance, the New Zealand team will occupy the fourth position in the points table. And in the current position South Africa team is performing very well. Both the batting line and bowling line of the South Africa team were strong today due to which the New Zealand team had enough to resist. New Zealand's powerplay saw wickets fall as they lost by a wide margin to South Africa today.

South Africa once again top the table with 6 wins in seven matches so far in world cup 2023. After four consecutive victories, New Zealand has now suffered three consecutive losses at the world cup. New Zealand lost 5th match against india by 4 wickets, new Zealand also lost their 6th match against Australia by 5 runs and Now new Zealand lost match against South Africa by huge margin of 190 runs. Rassie Van Der Dussen is awarded the Player of the Match for his outstanding knock of 133(118) against New Zealand which led his team to a victory.

South Africa bowled new Zealand out of the match in 35.3 overs. South Africa beat new Zealand to a huge victory. New Zealand made the first dismissal of the south Africa in 8.3 overs. South Africa put new Zealand  trouble by scoring 100 runs in 20 overs. De kock 100 runs off 103 balls.And with that, de kock was out after completing his century.It was new Zealand second win after de kock out. And with that another south Africa batsman got out after scoring a ceuntry. New  Zealand dismissed another south Africa player in the last ball of the loose lay over. At last they won this match.

New Zealand keeps sinking though they are still in contention while Afghanistan are behind them. Pakistan would need a miracle to grab that spot.

Yeah, both the SA and the indian teams are the conquerors in this tournament and maybe we will see these two in the final match because they are the stronger than the other New Zealand and Australia. My team will be the Indian one in the final match India will win this tournament and there is no doubt that they also won the Asia Cup before the start of this tournament. But when we look at the table I think there is a chance for the Pakistani team to play a semifinal if Australia loses the match or newzeland If one of them loses the match they will clear the route for the Pakistan team but it seems very tough, they may not loss but somehow hope is always there and we will prayer for the Pakistani team to at least they play at the semifinal. In the last World Cup they also reached to the semifinals but they lost to the Indian team I think.

South Africa is doing great in India World Cup I want them not to drop in the semi finals. Cricket world has witnessed many such past records of theirs. South Africa is an unstoppable team till the semi-final but I don't know why they get completely eliminated in the semi-final. At the 2015 Australia World Cup we saw every South African player on the ground crying. There is enough reason to cry, they played well throughout the tournament but in the semi finals they performed very poorly and they have been doing this since the past. We are definitely going to see something different from the South African side at the 2023 World Cup tournament. South Africa have come to India with a strong team, they must maintain their current performance and also aim to make it to the Elite Finals.

[Sithara007]

Quite disgraceful performance from the Kiwis yesterday. The moment South Africa reached more than 350, I knew that there was no chance for a New Zealand win. But then, the Kiwi batsmen didn't even put up a fight. They surrendered without any resistance. Only Glenn Phillips was able to score runs freely and take on the South African bowlers. Keshav Maharaj, the only Protean bowler who looked out of form till now picked up 4 wickets yesterday. Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee were also exceptional. Now New Zealand faces a real danger of not qualifying for the semi-finals.

It's too early to say if New Zealand will qualify for the semi final or not, but looking at the points table, things are looking really interesting and a lot of teams are competing for the 4th position including New Zealand. I won't rule them out as yet. They only need to beat Pakistan (who are not in a good form) and they would qualify.




Today is the match between India and Srilanka, which India should win but if somehow Srilanka can win this match, they will also have six points out of 7 matches, and they will still remain in the race. But beating India looks like an impossible task for now.

We also have a tough competition between the first and the second position and believe me, it is important as the first team on the points table will play the semi-final with a fourth team.

After the match between South Africa and New Zealand, the World Cup is alive again. Now, other teams like Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Afghanistan have the chance to be in the semi-finals if they play good cricket from here and win all of their matches. This defeat impacted NZ's net run rate big time, and now they have to win all of their matches to qualify, and their next match is against unpredictable Pakistan.
If SL wins today's match against India -although the chances of this happening are negligible- they will be in the race for the 4th spot in the semi-finals. Finger crosses to an amazing end to this World Cup group stage.

Well.. one of the disadvantages with having 10-team group is that after a few matches we will get to know who is going to qualify for the semi-finals. Now it is certain that India and South Africa will be in the semi-finals. There is some doubt regarding Australia, but they should be able to qualify as well. And then it is going to be a direct fight between New Zealand and Pakistan for the remaining slot. All the other teams are out of reckoning, with the exception of Afghanistan. That means that 4 out of 10 teams have no chance of qualifying for the semis.

last night match New Zealand put on their weakest and South Africa show of this World Cup as they carry on being affected by injuries. South Africa have broken the record for the most sixes and the most hundreds by any team in a single World Cup. my prediction for today match played between india and Srilanka. India is favourite to win this match because they didn't lose any match in thid world cup win 6 of 6 match in this world cup and standing on second of points table with 12 points after South Africa. This win against Srilanka will conferm the semi-finals spot for India.

After lost against India they are trying to regroup themselves but sadly nothing working positive with match against Australia were good but suddenly against South Africa they fall down badly which bring their fourth spot in danger as well now things are fascinating with who is going for the fourth spot even still I am feeling New Zealand is favorite, but now anything can happen while Pakistan is also going to give their best even we have new about internal conflict but still things are looking positive.
Now England is down and out with this most chances their hopes for the Champions League are also going to be ended because they have no chance for the top seven spots as well with next matches against Australia and Pakistan could be not easy for them to have win and take seventh spot most chances they could be ended at eight spots with Bangladesh and Netherlands going to down.
