Finally India Qualified for the finals! What a revenge taken by the Indian team of the 2019 Semi Finals. Really every Indian fans would have cried in joy of tears after seeing the match. All thanks to King Kohli and Mohammed Shami. They did extremely well for which India have qualified for the finals. If the Kiwi openers haven’t failed to give a good start, then 398 was easily chase able in that pitch. Mitchell and Williamson tried their best, but Shami was completely unstoppable. Well Played Indian team. They surely deserve to be in the finals.

This is the fourth time that India has qualified for the finals and it is a proud moment for Indian team fans. Rohit Sharma, Shubhman Gill, King Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, and KL Rahul were the pillars for getting 397 runs on the scoreboard. Shami the one-man bowling attack destroyed the batting order of the Kiwis by taking 7 wickets yesterday. Kuldeep and Bhumrah contributed too but Shami was unstoppable as he took the crucial wickets.

Today we will come to know with whom India will be playing in the finals as the second semifinal between South Africa and Australia starts in a couple of hours from now. The betting odds suggest that Australia has the chance to win today but I doubt it. They are not playing as a team as some of them have played exceptionally well to get them to the semifinals. Whereas South Africans are playing as a team and everyone is responsible for their entry into the semifinals.

Yes, India has qualified for the finals as the first team to go unbeaten in every match of this World Cup.In the first semi-final between India and New Zealand, India batted first and amassed a huge capital of 397 runs in the allotted 50 overs.New Zealand stumbled a bit in the beginning, but later Kane Williamson and Dairy Mitchell formed a good partnership.Dairy Mitchell scored 134 runs for their team in yesterday's game.
Md. Sami played the most important role behind India's victory yesterday.Mohammad Sami took seven wickets in yesterday's game which was incredible and the best.

In yesterday's match between South Africa and India, India defeated South Africa by 70 runs and reached the final. The way India team is playing with power in this 2023 World Cup I think India will be the champion. Virat Kohli completed his 50th century in that match. India's Sachin Tendulkar is called the maharaja of cricket. Virat Kohli surpassed Sachin Tendulkar's 49 ODI centuries in front of that maharaja. Maybe no one can break King Virat Kohli's record like no one can break Leo Messi's eight Ballon d'Or. Congratulations to India for reaching the final.

Australia is the opponent of South Africa today in the second semi-final match of the World Cup. Former five-time World Cup winners Australia are in high spirits against South Africa as they have performed well in recent matches. Australia must field their best XI against South Africa as we haven't heard of any injuries in their team at the moment. Against South Africa, this match will not be easy for South Africa if Australia takes the field with a full XI. Before this world cup tournament South Africa has played till semi-final in many world cup tournament but in semi-final they lost with poor performance, hope they will not maintain this consistency in this world cup. South Africa must walk in the opposite direction from other tournaments and they must secure the final against India only if they can recover from all their poor past records.

Given the fact that South Africa has the reputation as the eternal chokers, I believe that Australia are having much better chances of winning today. Australian batsmen are in top form and during the last few matches they have shown good momentum. On the other hand, South Africa started pretty well, but during the last few games they are showing some weakness. The presence of Temba Bavuma seems to be dragging them down. Anyway, a lot will depend on who will win the toss today. In case Australia wins the toss and bats first, then there will be no doubt on the outcome.

Today 2023 World Cup 2nd semi-final will be held and from here one team will go to final and other team will be out.South Africa has performed better than Australia in this World Cup.I want to favor South Africa in today's match as they thrashed Australia in the ODI series on their home soil before the World Cup.
It has been proven time and again that no team is weak in the World Cup.You are right South Africa have played many semi finals before but they can reach the final but looks like they will win against Australia today and reach their desired final.South Africa's batting has been in great form as they have amassed 400 plus runs in several matches and won the match with ease.Finally good luck to both the teams to give their good game and the audience can enjoy it.

Australia lost the first 2 matches with poor performances, but won the next 7 matches with excellent performances. Australia are currently in great form from South Africa, I think Australia have more chances to win. Analyzing every match of South Africa in this World Cup in particular, it can be seen that South Africa won by a huge margin if they batted first, but lost two matches batting later and even if they won a few matches, it was very difficult. So South Africa's performance in today's match depends entirely on the toss. If South Africa don't bat first today, Australia will win easily. Both teams have won 7 matches each and have 14 points, we hope to enjoy a good game today.

The match will start in around 1.5 hours from now at the Eden Gardens. South Africa, despite the immense talent they possess has never reached the final of a ODI World Cup. 1999 was the turning point, when they lost the semi-finals to Australia after being so much overhyped. For today's match they will be the underdogs (unlike the situation in 1999), and that may relieve some pressure from them. It is going to be a very tight match for sure, unlike the one-sided encounter that we had yesterday between India and New Zealand.

Finally, India Qualified for the finals!

Yes, The match between India and New Zealand. It sounds like an exciting encounter, with India putting up the score of 397 runs. 397 isn't a low score for New Zealand. On the other hand, Mohammad Sami played an authentic role in the upcoming victory with his exceptional bowling performance, taking seven wickets. It's great to hear that India has qualified for the finals by remaining unbeaten throughout the tournament. Cricket fans must be excited about the team's success.

Sorry bro, there might be a mistake in your typing. Yesterday the match was played between India and New Zealand and India defeated New Zealand by 70 runs. This time India performed very strongly at their home ground and secured the final without losing any match. I don't see any team to beat India in this 2023 World Cup. It is certain that India will keep the 2023 World Cup on its own soil. However, if M Shami had not picked up seven wickets tomorrow, India would have been defeated by New Zealand. Really M Shami King for tomorrow's win

Today the second semi-final will be between South Africa and Australia. I will put Australia ahead of South Africa in today's match. South Africa vs Australia today match is very important for both teams. Because the team that wins today will directly play in the final. In yesterday's match we saw that Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. Then the Indian batsmen went on a batting rampage and targeted New Zealand with a mountain of runs. Then by bowling  they won that match and India went to the final. Now what to watch today is which team will go for the toss. I think whichever team wins the toss should score big runs and target the opposition. Because if the target is a big run, the opponent is under a little pressure. I really want the Australian team to win today. If the Australian team wins today.  Then we can enjoy the Australia vs India match in the final. The batting of both teams of India and Australia 2 is very strong so the final will be hard now it is a matter of seeing who will win today's match.

[roksana.hee]

South Africa won the Toss and Elected to Bat First. It's a very important match for both teams. Because if the team is beaten by another then the others are promoted to Final. So, both teams need to win. If Australia played well in this ICC World Cup, in 2023. Have a good day, Australia!

[pakhitheboss]

One Indian player injury changed everything for the Indian team in the World Cup. This team is the most balanced team among the others. Hardik Pandya got injured and he was replaced by Shami and SKY. While Shami has be bowling like it might be the last time, SKY hasn't been able to bat as everyone wished he would.

There you go, they will bat first and try to get 400 runs as target. Australia will be struggling to chase that target unless they get the African batters out before they get to the big total.

India is the best team in this World Cup as proved time and again by their performances.Hardik Pandya's injury has not affected the Indian team much as every player in their team is in great form and has been consistently performing well.But everyone was diverted to watch Surya Kumar Yadav's batting but he has not been able to bat his imagination so far.

South Africa won the toss and opted to bat which is right for them as there is an added pressure on those who bat later.If South Africa bat first and score 350 or 400 today, it will be difficult for Australia to win the match.Today, Australia comes into the field with two changes.Stoines and Abbott have been left out of Australia's squad.Between these two teams, the team that wins today with the best performance will take on India in the final.Australia are already five time world champions and if they bat and bowl well against South Africa today they will surely win and reach the final.If Australia can win this year's World Cup, their hexa will be fulfilled.

I agree with you 100%. But you should know that cricket is a game, "where anything can happen at any time." It cannot be said if a batsman at number 7 or 9 can turn the game around. Best of luck Australian cricket team!

LOL.. South Africa chose to bat first, and they are struggling at 17/2 after 9.3 overs. They have been completely demolished by the Australian pacers (Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc). Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma are back in pavilion already (in case of the latter, I am not even surprised). There is a very good chance that South Africa will be bowled out for a two-digit total. Aiden Markram and Rassie van der Dussen are at the crease and they are really struggling. Rassie so far has just 5 runs to his name from 27 balls.

South Africa vs Australia in the second semi-final at Eden Gardens, Kolkata. South Africa won the toss and decided to bat. South Africa's early performance in the World Cup cannot be found in today's semi-finals. Mitchell strac & Hazelwood's excellent bowling rattles South Africa's batting line-up. South Africa's batting power play is just 18 runs for 2 wickets. South Africa managed to hit their first boundary in the 52nd ball in the powerplay. Is this really South Africa playing! Quinton de Kock, who has been in the best form of the season, returned to the dressing room with just three runs. Africa lost four wickets for 24 runs. Such performance of South Africa is really disappointing.

[2Pizza410000BTC]

South Africa have now collected 44 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 14 overs. South Africa have had a very strong start to this World Cup but the performance they put in today doesn't look like South Africa is very strong. South Africa won the toss and went into bat, losing 4 wickets under heavy pressure. The way South Africa's wickets have started to fall, it doesn't look like South Africa will be able to play the full 50 overs in this second semi-final match today. Based on South Africa's current performance I can say they won't score 200+ today. But do you think South Africa can play 50 balls under this tough pressure? And can South Africa score 200+ runs in today's match?

South Africa is in a big trouble with 4 wickets down after 14 overs. SA are 44/4.

Seems like South Africa's knockout curse is back! Considering Australia's bowling on this pitch, it's going to be tough for South African batters to score over 100 runs. Looks like this match is heading towards a low score. If there's no solid fighting total, the Aussies might win it pretty easily.
