ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

What an amazing comeback by the Australian team. They lost a few initial games but made a good comeback in the end. A tough team to beat in the finals, yesterday it was thier bowling that destroyed South Africa.

The worst part was that South Africa won the toss and choose to bat first. They have a captain who I feel is a liability. He has been out of form and have taken some of the worst decision. He was caught sleeping on the stage and might have been doing the same while deciding to bat first or bowl.

Australia's performance in the beginning didn't seem like they would make it to the semi-finals, but gradually they improved their performance. The team was going to play the final against India in doubt whether they would be able to play the semi-finals. 

Temba Bavuma has had a poor batting performance since the start of this World Cup tournament. In the two matches he was sidelined due to injury problems, his replacement performed well but still Temba Bavuma is trusted by the South Africa team management. The decision to bat first after winning the toss in the semi-final match may not have been good but he managed to make some good decisions in the second innings. Along with well-timed bowling changes, he orchestrated aggressive fielding but unfortunately his team lost against Australia yesterday due to poor fielding by his teammates.

Tabraiz Shamsi and kesev Maharaj struggling hard to save South Africa. But in the end, no one can say whether South Africa will be able to save the last. But everyone expects South Africa to win the semi-final and become the champion with India. But why fate dealt so cruelly with South Africa no one can say.

Yes, T. Shamsi and Maharaj did a wonderful bowling, both did 10 10 overs and gave the least runs which shows their struggles and best performance to contain Australia and win the match but unfortunately they lost. Other bowlers did their best, they did 4 to 8 overs each and in this A. Markaram did best bowling, he did 8 overs in which he gave 23 runs and took one wicket also. The bowlers of the South African team did their best to restrict Australia but the target was too small. Australia chased the target in 47 overs if south Africa did a few more runs then it would be difficult for the Australian team to win the match, the batsman did a very poor performance if they did a little more runs up to 250 or 260 then Maybe they did not win that match.

It is like the New Zealand team which has been defeating the Indian team from 2003 until yesterday when they lost. A reminder the New Zealand team has not won the cup and niether have the African team.

Now the only one match left of this World Cup so I decided to tell about one country that can’t qualify for the final but we want to see them in the final, of course not all teams can play final, only two teams can play.

Anyway, let’s start to talk about the journey of New Zealand in this World Cup, sometime they disappointed and sometimes they did work to happy their audience. The New Zealand team is one of the unluckiest teams ever because they lose big matches. Their squad is good but they can’t use it. They lost their end matches and they won their early matches, they can’t win against big teams in this World Cup, they lost against Pakistan, India and other big countries.

Not sure about the part Shamsi played, as he conceded runs during crucial moments and then picked up wickets only when the match was almost over. On the other hand, Maharaj bowled his overs when the Australian batsmen were at their peak form and returned spectacular figures of 10-0-24-1. If he had received some sort of support from the pacers as well, then the outcome would have been different. From one end, Maharaj was bowling very tightly and from the other end Rabada, Jansen and Shamsi were conceding runs.

Australia is very big and strong team.Because Australia's batsmen and bowlers worked hard and will reach the final.If South Africa's bowlers and batsmen worked hard, they could have defeated Australia, but South Africa's bowlers and batsmen did not show any effort and the captain also did not fight his own thoughts, due to which they will lose the match.South Africa is no less a team but fate could not help them on that day.

South Africa have been a balanced team in the World Cup this year but they didn't play as per their plan yesterday instead they lost wickets first and were under so much pressure that they couldn't score enough runs to take the target. Moreover, the target of 213 runs for Australia is not an event, but South Africa managed to put pressure on the Australian batsmen towards the end. But unfortunately, Australia eventually reached the target of 213 for 7 and they finally qualified for the final.

South African captain Temba Bavuma won the toss and elected to bat. Kolkata's Eden Garden Stadium was favorable for batting. Still, the South African batsmen could not score good runs. South African captain Temba Bavuma should have done better in the semi-final game. If we notice, South Africa captain Temba Bavuma did not perform well in the 2023 World Cup. South Africa's fielding in yesterday's match was also a little messy. But South Africa's bowling line was strong and they bowled well. Had South Africa scored 250, they would have won the semi-final.

The final match will take place at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. Last time when we had an ODI match there, it was a low scoring encounter. Afghanistan scored 244 runs batting first and South Africa won by 5 wickets with just 2.3 overs remaining. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi were the pick of the bowlers for Afghanistan, while Gerald Coetzee and Keshav Maharaj excelled for South Africa. So we can say that it is a spin friendly track where Kuldeep and Jadeja will be useful for India. The only match India played in this ground was against Pakistan. The Pakistanis were bundled out for 191 runs, with Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav taking two wickets each.

Yes, Australia team is much stronger than South Africa team for which Australia team won by 3 wickets. South Africa team batsmen are far behind due to weak batting. But the performance of Australia team bowlers was very good due to which South Africa team became very weak. Australia  Starc took 3 wickets with 34 runs in 10 overs. Hazlewood took 2 wickets with 12 runs in 8 overs. Cummins took 3 wickets with 51 runs in 9.4 overs.

Narendra Modi Stadium pitch is spin friendly. The team will benefit from having talented and experienced spinners in the squad. We saw it in the South Africa bona, Afghanistan match as well. Also, the average score of the first innings on this pitch is 237 runs and the average score of the second innings is 209 runs. Statistics also show that high scores are unlikely on this pitch. Still, with the form India's batsmen are in, they can easily muster more than 300 on batting-friendly pitches. But if Australia's spin bowlers can do well in this match then the match will be competitive. On the other hand, the performance of Australia's batsmen is quite erratic. So I consider India as the favourite.

India may take advantage of the spin-friendly wicket in the final match.The few cricket playing countries in the Asian continent all have a very strong spin bowling attack.India also has several good spinners like Ravindra Jadeja is a spin bowling all-rounder and Kuldev Yadav is an excellent spin bowler.Australia's spin bowlers are not as strong as compared to India's spin bowlers.However, among India's pacers, Mohammad Sami is in great form in this World Cup.In the semi-final match between India and New Zealand, Mohammad Sami single-handedly defeated New Zealand by taking 7 wickets.In the final match, if India bat first, they can score 300 or 350 runs, then they will definitely win against Australia.

Australia won back to back 8 consecutive matches in this world cup. South Africa brilliant effort fell short as Australia 215/7 sealed the win 3 wickets and 16 balls to spare and qualify for the final of world cup. Top Scorer from Australia is travis head 62 runs. But this win only possible dueto Crucial Partnership of Mitchell Starc and Josh Inglis and win match for his team and qulaify for final after 2015 world cup.

They lost their first two matches, and then went on to win 8 matches consecutively after that. This has become more or less a norm for Australia, as they always start poorly in the ICC tournaments, and then improve upon their performance in due course of time. India on the other hand are now having 10 consecutive wins during this world cup. At least I am glad that the two best teams are featuring in the world cup final this time. These two deserved to be there and we are all set for a high voltage encounter on 19th November.

Australia lost the first two matches but won the remaining eight matches. On the other hand, India is unbeaten in ten matches, but if they can win the final with Australia, then India will be the unbeaten champions in the 2023 World Cup. Every batsman and bowler of India has prepared themselves well and they are ready to give their best in the final. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are performing well in this World Cup so the World Cup is going to be decided for India.

The South African bowlers made the match competitive despite giving away a  target of just 213 runs. However, Australian  batsmen batted very  well in the first 10 overs. He scored 74 runs in the first 10 overs. Travis Head's innings of 62 off 48 balls kept Australia in control of the match. However, the match became competitive due to  the poor performance  of the middle order. I expected  a more responsible performance from the Australian batsmen. With such a performance, Australia will not be able to do well against India in the final match. To do well in the final, Australia's batsmen need to do better. India is a very strong team. If the batsmen perform so erratically against India, the attempt will be by a big margin to the Australian team.

South Africa can’t qualify for the final due to their batting and fielding. They couldn’t take very easy catches so they should have loss as a punishment for not playing well and they had, but on the other hand, it is a very sad moment for South Africa because they did very hard work for the World Cup but they can’t make it real,

and South Africa don’t have any good thing because they lost in 2015 World Cup and the captain of that time was Ab de Villars who cried and this time it was Temba Bavumba cried in the stadium because of Semi final loss and not making his team to clear the semi final hurdle.

Australia qualified for the final of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup. It is a piece of exciting news for them because the World Cup started Australia's team performance was very poor. They lost their first two matches with a very bad run rate, after those two matches people thought that the Australian cricket team's good performances were no more even though they lost to South Africa with 134 runs, and then people made fun of them then they both teams met again in the semi-final, and Australia won the semi-final and make the place in the final. This is a short and wonderful journey for the Australian team to the finals.

The Australian team never disappointed in the World Cup.
Truly a professional team with consistent performances in the World Cup.

Every batsman and bowler of India has prepared themselves well and they are ready to give their best in the final. Captain Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are performing well in this World Cup so the World Cup is going to be decided for India.

India is favorite .And India will win this World Cup . India is strongest team but I do not understand their planning for pitch change in Semi final with New Zealand. No team is playing like India  and in the his history no team played like that in their home ground. Australia is also good side but luck matters a lot in the World cup final. Australian batsmans Glenn Maxwell and David Warner can be dangerous for Indian team but Indian team have to give their 100 percent because Australia is World Cup Champion of 2015 and it has capability to win this World Cup .

It is very sad for South Africa. They performed very well in this world cup. In almost every match of the World Cup, we have seen better batting from the South African batsmen. South Africa used to score high especially in the first innings. But South Africa's top order collapsed very quickly against Australia. Apart from Miller, no other player in the squad batted well. If the top order batted a little better, South Africa could easily have set a target of more than 280. Along with batsman, the bowlers also gave a lot of runs in the first 10 overs. The performance of the bowlers was not controlled in the beginning. As a result, it was easy for Australia to control the match.

[Out of mind]

ICC World Cup 2023 World Cup Australia vs India will be the match which looks to be interesting. But my opinion and my personal prediction is that India is the better form of the two teams in this final match. The way they played from start to finish was truly amazing beating every team by a huge margin and so far India team has not lost a single match. But the World Cup is happening in the soil of India, due to which they are strong, and the World Cup will be in their hands, it is predicted by everyone and the campaign is going on in the social media. We have seen Australia defeated in the previous match and the final match will start with that Australia on Indian soil. It is very difficult to say how well Australia will play this match, but we have seen all the Australian players batting well. If every batsman in Australia bats brilliantly against India in the final match, then there is a possibility that Australia will win the cup. Also, I have seen on social media that people are talking about India the most because India will take the cup this time, I think 2023 World Cup will be held in India.
