ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[Bitcoin Smith]

By collecting 17 runs in the last over, India managed to set a target of 327 runs in 50 overs. Good enough they did. But India had the opportunity to bat better. They scored 91 runs in the first 10 overs but India scored only 33 runs in the next 10 overs. And this is where India lags far behind. Also the controlled bowling by the South African bowlers in the last 15 overs is absolutely commendable. In the last 15 overs I expected India to collect at least 150. But India's collection was 107 runs in 15 overs. India scored around 7.1 runs per over. South Africa's bowling was very controlled today. If the Indian bowlers can bowl in such a controlled manner, they have a chance to win. But with South Africa's batting like we have seen in this World Cup, it looks like India are going to concede their first defeat.

SA haven't been good at chasing, also Indian bowlers are doing extremely well, I think we'll see India continuing their winning streak.

Also the Pitch condition is on slower side so hitting the ball doesn't seem to be very easy and the ball came on to bat very nicely in the intially overs and along with Rohit power hitting ability he made it looks easier but in reality it hasn't been easy even for Kohli who spent 120+ balls can't time the ball well at the death overs. Exciting chase will make the day more spicy but Indian bowlers know the condition well, and I feel even if pacers can't do then we have Kuldeep Yadav to wrap Proteas.

Congratulation to the Bday boy and he matched the milestone of ton along with God of cricket.,

you are right South Africa did not do very well batting at the target in this World Cup. They lost against a weak team like Netherlands. Batting against a target of 271 runs given by Pakistan, they lost 9 wickets. South Africa was very lucky. So they were able to win against Pakistan. That's why it is not an easy task for the South African batsmen to win by batting at the target of 327 runs given by India. Also shami, Bumrah and Siraj are in very good rhythm. Also the pitch is helping the spin bowlers. South Africa's Keshav Athmanand Maharaj bowled very well today. I am looking forward to see how Jadeja and Kuldeep perform today. Scoring runs against Kuldeep and Jadeja will not be easy for the South African batsmen today.

The pitch is kinda confusing tbh. In the first 10 overs, it was looking flat but after that, it turned into a slow side drastically with a small window of favoring set batters. New batters struggled to score freely even strike rotation was difficult, which is clear from Virat's inning and he's the best in the business so this looks competitive total and if the pitch stays the same then most probably match winning total.

Proteas are definitely shaky outfits when chasing targets but if dew comes in then they would find it easy to bat, especially against spin duo.

The wait is finally over!
Virat Kohli scored his 49th ODI century on his 35th birthday at Eden Gardens. He has now equaled Sachin Tendulkar's record and might even surpass it in the upcoming matches. Nothing but respect for King Kohli. Additionally, Jadeja's excellent performance has taken India's total to over 300. This score should be more than enough on this slow surface. It will be challenging to chase down this total for SA. Hopefully, India's spinners will play a significant role against South Africa's batters.

Maybe this is how to color your birthday and keep it memorable. On his 35th birthday, Virat Kohli gifted all the cricket lovers with his fifty-ninth century. Before the start of the match at Eden Garden, the Eden Garden Stadium was beautifully decorated especially the streets outside the stadium with various pictures of Virat Kohli celebrating his various celebrations. His fans will do so much for him he will do nothing for his fans it doesn't happen. I think his 49th fifty is the best gift for his fans on his birthday. India have set a target of 327 runs to South Africa, although South Africa have the ability to score 400 plus runs, I would say it is very difficult for South Africa to win this match as India have the best bowling line-up in the world right now.

D kock gone, I consider it a fatal blow for SA.

D kock gone, I consider it a fatal blow for SA.

Like the previous matches, the Indian bowlers are bowling well today. De Kock could not survive at the crease against the bowling of Mohammad Siraj. He returned to the dressing room after collecting 5 runs off 10 balls. South African batsmen collected only 19 runs in 6 overs. Even if batting slowly at the beginning of the innings, the South African batsmen will gradually come under more pressure.
I am looking forward to see how Captain Temba Bavuma bats in today's match. Although Bavuma is the captain of the South Africa squad, I don't see Bavuma playing well for the needs of the team. Despite his poor performance, he is the captain of the team. Despite having better batsmen than Bavuma in the South African squad, Bavuma is being given chances time and again.

Yea, I don't see why he's captain either or why is in the team, fail in all games so far. SA has good players in the squad but don't have proper captainship, if they make huge score they win otherwise they don't.

De Kock used to give good platform in previous matches, today he's gone and we see SA struggle already.

In 10 overs of powerplay, India collected 91 runs for the loss of 1 wicket. On the other hand, South Africa collected 35 runs by losing 3 wickets. They are batting very slowly and losing wicket too quickly. We have not seen better batting than Bavuma in today's match. I will not blame the batsmen of South Africa. Indian bowlers are really bowling very controlled. Their bowling speed and length are very controlled. So the batsmen of South Africa are not able to collect runs. It is difficult to collect runs in the second innings on this pitch of Eden Gardens. The average run of the second innings of this pitch is 201 runs. South Africa are batting towards India's huge target of 327. Naturally, the South African batsmen are under pressure. The loss of De KocK's wicket has put the team under more pressure. I would not be surprised to see a South African batting disaster in this match.

Virat Kohli celebrated his 35th birthday with a century. Millions of cricket fans witnessed his birthday. Virat Kohli did not disappoint his fans as he celebrated his birthday with a brilliant batting century on the field. Virat Kohli's game today was at a very long pace. Maybe he wanted to score a century today, he is unbeaten with a century. 2023 World Cup Virat Kohli is in great form as Virat Kohli scored two centuries in this World Cup. The way Virat Kohli is playing well in the 2023 World Cup, it seems that he might occupy the number one spot in batting.

How could you survive against this bowling attack?

Every single bowler is in red hot form, my fingers are crossed for our batters for the semis and hopefully, the finals. Avoid the batting collapse and the bowlers will win the match for you.

I really hope i am not jinxing this flow for our bowlers, at least in my mind. This bowling attack is champion, I was worried when Hardik got ruled out but atm feel incredibly safe.

[Shishir99]

Peoples don't know what to say and how things works but mostly try to create theories which never works.

If they write just to fill their signature quota, they have their campaign manager check their posts. But I don't think managers read every post of their signature participants. Stake signature campaigners are mostly not gamblers, or experts in sports but they pretend like they know everything. Of course, there are some exceptions. People like Yahoo and BitcoinGirl.Club write constructive posts and they don't engage in threads where they do not feel interested. Apart from those exceptional members, most of these stake signature participants are spammers. They don't know what they writing.

This team is invisible, everything is happening as it should happen. If the opening pairs fail the middle order comes up. The bowlers have been so successful that I feel the Indian team has now one of the most agressive and destructive bowling attack. Everyone in this team is in form and outperforming themselves. Another game and again completely dominated by the Indian team.

Indian bowlers are literally showing magic. South Africa whose there 6 wicket and their run is only 59 require run rate is about 8 and the current run rate is only about 3.5. so South African team is really in very under pressure now. Today jadeja took three wicket and Mohammed shami 2 wicket and Mohammed siraj 1 wicket. Although the strength of the peacer side of Indian bowlers was not seen in the Asia Cup, but now Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami have been performing well in almost every match.
But as always today I have to say that in this match one cannot expect such a bad performance from South Africa. South Africa are currently second in the ICC World Cup 2023 points table ranking, batting performance from them will be so bad I think no one expected it.
Edit:
 I will say undoubtly that South Africa match. As I posting they have lose one more wicket already. It seems that Indian team gonna unbeatable once again.

[libert19]

Unbelievable domination from India in this tournament so far, hopefully it'll continue further.

[pakhitheboss]

This is too much for anyone who loves cricket. I expected a decent competition today between the number 1 and number 2 team on the point table. To my suprise none of South African batters are able to defend them against the Indian bowlers. As of now this would be another humiliation for the South African team after getting defeated by the Dutch.

Nothing as in nothing is helping any team when they play against the Indian team. They are clueless what to bowl to batters and again they are clueless what to face as batters. The Indian team has now become a formidable opponent for every other team in the WC.

I would not be surprised to see a South African batting disaster in this match.

We are seeing terrible batting today from South Africa. They lost their ninth wicket for 79 runs. And it seems that the team will not be able to collect even 100 runs. No one was prepared to witness such terrible batting from South Africa. Because the most successful team after India in this World Cup is South Africa. And in each of the past matches, we have seen brilliant innings from the South African batsmen. But today they are not able to collect even 100 runs against India. Jadeja took 5 wickets. Jadeja took 5 wickets with only 29 runs. The pitch was spin friendly. And India has exploited this opportunity very well.

[Out of mind]

Chasing a huge target of 327 runs set by India in today's match, South Africa lost by 83 runs all out. India got a huge win by 243 runs, today's match was really interesting as they defeated a strong team like South Africa by a huge margin. In today's match, everyone thought that South Africa and India will be the most exciting game, and we will see a beautiful game between the two teams. But it has been completely different as South Africa have played worse against India than any other normal team due to which they lost badly. India's Ravindra Jadeja bowled the best today, he single-handedly took 5 wickets for India. But I didn't enjoy watching today's game because it feels good to watch the game only if two teams fight to the bone, but there was no fight here, it was a disappointing game. South Africa played their worst in the second innings against India and batted in desperation, for which they lost by a huge margin today.

India have set a target of 327 runs to South Africa, although South Africa have the ability to score 400 plus runs, I would say it is very difficult for South Africa to win this match as India have the best bowling line-up in the world right now.

This was best match for the Virat Kohli on his birthday,because the full match was end with the 83 runs.This was another historic chase of the team India,nearly 243 runs was the difference of the two team.So we should accept this as the historic moment for the team India,8-8 win in the World Cup was unique one here.The main reason for this win was the team India had the good team in this league,because they had the 6 batsman and 5 bowlers.All the players doing their part without fail for this was the most important one.Kohli also made his 49th hundred in today match was the unique thing here.This was the birthday gift to his fan by the Virat Kohli.

[Fuso.hp]

So we have to assume that the team that plays against India in this World Cup tournament will lose. South Africa qualified for the semi-finals of this world cup tournament as the second team after India and South Africa has the maximum collection of all the big collections in this world cup tournament but today's match really surprised me. I have nothing to say about India scoring 326 runs in the first innings but how South Africa were bowled out for just 83 runs in the second innings while South Africa scored 400 plus scores several times. It is easy for India to win bets especially in this World Cup tournament because no matter how strong the opponent is, India will win. I thought today would be a tough competitive match but it was one of the second worst matches after Sri Lanka.

South Africa's innings ended with 83 runs. South Africa lost today by a huge margin of 243 runs. No one could have imagined that South Africa would concede such a humiliating defeat. However, seeing the performance of both teams in this match, it is clear that India does not want to miss out on this World Cup. Either way they will be world champions this time. In this World Cup we have seen very good performances from India and South Africa in every match. Both these teams are seen as worthy contenders for this year's World Cup. And India proved their mettle by beating South Africa by 243 runs. It is no surprise that India won the World Cup this year without losing a single match. It is even more likely.
