ICC WORLD CUP 2023 DISCUSSION THREAD!

[hafiztalha]

Australia's batsmen are going down to bat against a target of 292 runs. The game of cricket is a game of uncertainty which is also proved today. Strong Australia who have the ability to score 400 runs. They are not able to bat properly for the target of 229 runs today. Australia's current score is 89 runs for 6 wickets in 17 overs. Australia's current score looks like they won't be able to play a full over. Afghanistan's bowling is very good in this match Afghan bowlers are bowling very well. Let's see if Australia team can win this match today.

Yes cricket is a game of uncertainty. Any accident can happen at any moment. Today I predicted Australia-Afghanistan to lose by a huge margin but the complete opposite happened. At the moment, Australia has collected 126 runs with the loss of 7 wickets. Australia need 166 runs in 25 overs to win. Australia could have won if there were enough wickets. Australia will never win today's match against Afghanistan. Because at the moment Australia has lost 7 wickets. So how can Australia beat Afghanistan today? Australia will lose unimaginably to Afghanistan today.

This game is becoming quite suspenseful and interesting in Afghanistan and Australia. 39 game, AFG won toss and first decide to bat in pitch. Australia team scored 200 runs in 35 overs and also they lost 7 wickets. Remaining 91 runs and 15 overs are Left for chasing and Australia team needs 92 runs in 90 balls and three also remain for playing. Glenn Maxwell effort in this game is brilliant and he is still on batting field and trying his best to chase target whose set by Afghanistan team. If Glenn Maxwell will not dismissed in pitch then they chase down this target and rank up in points table. Anything happen right now let's see at the end of game

Glenn Maxwell is playing one gem of an innings but he is struggling with his back as he had an accident playing golf during the World Cup and if he could stand till the end then this would be the greatest innings played in the history by scoring runs single handedly chasing a huge total.
Afghanistan dropped a few catches and hope that wont cost them the match.

Afghanistan should somehow break this partnership and if they can do so then they can fight for a spot in the semi finals.

After losing the seventh wicket for 91 runs, Australia now collect 222 runs. Australia has already collected 131 runs from this pair. It was completely unexpected that Australia would make a comeback after losing wickets so quickly. Maxwell and Cummins are batting very responsibly. Cummins is primarily a bowler, but he is providing good support to Maxwell. Pat cummins scored 11 runs from 50 balls. He should be thanked for staying at the crease for so long.

Australia need 70 runs from 71 balls to win. The match is still under the control of the Afghanistan bowlers. Afghanistan can win the match only if Maxwell's wicket is taken. But Maxwell is batting very responsibly. He scored 132 runs from 94 ballsand still unbeaten.

Still it is going to be near impossible for Australia. They need 56 runs from 58 balls. Maxwell can't run, as he is suffering from severe cramps. At the most he can take singles, but 2s and 3s are out of question. And with Afghan fielders at the boundary line, taking 4s is going to be difficult as well. Cummins on the other end is just blocking the balls and trying to survive for as long as he can. The entire burden is on Maxwell. If one of them gets out, it is going to be Adam Zampa and then the tailender Josh Hazlewood.

Australia will win this match if Maxwell is at the crease. But Maxwell is injured, he is unable to run. This is the big problem. Still, I'd say Australia won't lose this match if Maxwell is at the crease.

Australia collected 245 runs at the end of 43 overs. Only 47 runs needed from 42 balls. It's not too big a task. Australia has been batting a bit slow since Maxwell was injured. With Maxwell not able to run, the team is naturally a bit behind. However, the way Maxwell has batted throughout the match, if he stays at the crease, he can bring australia thej victory by hitting boundaries.

Edit:  Maxwell hit three boundaries in the 44th over. Australia now need 32 runs from 36 balls to win.

The target was 291 runs. Maxwell 201 not out. What a beautiful match we enjoyed!
When Australia lost their seventh batsman for 91 runs, no one expected Australia to win the match. Afghanistan's players were also a bit overconfident. And they missed quite a few fieldings. The Afghanistan fielders failed to take a simple catch from Maxwell. And Afghanistan lost because of overconfidence.
There is no doubt that Maxwell played brilliantly. The best innings of this World Cup. And the biggest innings in World Cup history. But we should also thank Pat Cummins. He collected 12 runs from 68 balls. But his staying at the crease was very important.

[JSRAW]

Mad respect for Big show, this guy actually did the impossible. It has to be the greatest ODI WC inning, didn't imagine this outcome when they were 7 down.

Someone should beat the shit out of Mujeeb and Skipper Shahidi, both dropped Maxwell and one catch was dolly af. Also, skipper Shahidi needs some serious guidance on his captaincy, one of the clueless captains.

Cricket analysts say that "cricket is a game of glorious uncertainty".Australia team and Glenn Maxwell proved that again today.
All the credit behind Australia's victory today goes to Glenn Maxwell as he completed his first career double century today which is also the first in this World Cup 2023. Today the cricketing world witnessed a monstrous innings from Glenn Maxwell.Maybe other teams will be afraid of his innings because if he plays like this against other teams then that team is guaranteed to lose.

Today One Man Army Glenn Maxwell

[Littlemini]

Congratulations Team Australia. Congratulations Maxwell we enjoyed a great match. Amazing innings. He is one of the best players I have ever seen. I am proud to witness the greatest chase in history. This is Maxwell.
 Everyone needs to learn from Maxwell how to win a losing match and an impossible match. Maxwell is the beauty of cricket. When Australia went to the brink of the abyss, standing alone like a banyan tree dreamed of an impossible match for Australia to win.  Maxwell's name will be written in gold letters on the Australian Cricket Board. The world of cricket is witnessing an extraordinary moment.
 For the first time in history I could see such a great game today.

Perhaps no one was prepared to see such a result in this match. Australian team was undoubtedly the favourite in today's match. But Australia stumbled at the start of batting at a target of 292 runs. The team lost the first wicket by 4 runs. After losing the second wicket for 43 runs, the team lost four top-order batsmen to collect 6 more runs. At the same time, Afghanistan's bowlers bowled brilliantly at the beginning of the innings.

At least I don't think Australia had any chance of winning after losing 7 batsmen for just 91 runs. But after that, Maxwell gradually changed the scenario. Despite batting slowly in the beginning, Maxwell gradually became dominant. And in the end, Maxwell was unbeaten with 201 runs off just 128 balls.

Everyone will become clueless if someone is striking the ball in that way, literally no foot work, cramps, back spasm and just made it just with his hand and eye alone. Best ever innings, and he surpassed Kapil Dev's 1983 knock to be honest.

Mad max show, and happy to watch the entire innings. SA vs AUS will be playing semi's and clearly the number 6 can be loading in their mind now.

Australia's first-order batsmen were all out after going down to bat for a target of 292 runs. Australia lost seven wickets before the team reached 100 runs. Maxwell made an unbroken partnership of 202 runs with captain Pat Cummins in the eighth wicket. The hero of Australia's victory is Maxwell with his brilliant batting today Australia won by 3 wickets. Maxwell's unbeaten 201 off 128 balls. This is Maxwell's first double century in the 2023 World Cup. 2023 World Cup double century record no one has done so far. Maxwell once again proved that cricket is a game of uncertainty. When Australia lost 7 wickets without scoring 100 runs, we assumed that Australia might lose this match today. Maxwell with his excellent batting gave Australia a great victory today. Congratulations to Team Australia.

This is called one man army performance. Cricket lovers who watched this match today I think mostly fell in love with Maxwell's performance. Maxwell singlehandedly won the Australian team today.  When I saw that seven wickets had fallen, I thought Australia would not get past 150 runs today. Max Well Magically Prove Me Wrong. Today I saw the proof of why these players are called legends.
I think many gamblers lost their bets today just because of Maxwell's great performance. Anyway lots of respect for Maxwell and also congrats to him that he is the man who recorded double century on odi format in Australian cricket history.

Actually Maxwell was lucky today so I don't want to blame Afghanistan fielders only.  Moreover, after LVW was given out by the umpire, he got the wicket back by taking his review and after that he he don't need to looked back.

Losing 7 wickets for 91 runs, the Australian team lost 7 wickets for 293 runs and won by 3 wickets. Can't believe how Maxwell won this match. It is actually nothing but a kind of miracle in cricket but also a misfortune for Afghanistan. Yes Afghanistan could have got a few wickets but it must be said that Afghanistan lost today's match due to poor fielding. Australia won today's match and they have qualified for the semi-finals and will most likely face South Africa in the semi-finals.

As the saying goes, miss a catch and miss a match. Cricket fans watched the Maxwell show today. Who could have imagined Australia's 91 by seven wickets would turn the match around and snatch victory for Australia. Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell shared a record 202-run partnership for the seventh wicket.  Maxwell's lone effort of 201 off just 128 balls led the team to victory. Australia won by three wickets. With this victory, Australia confirmed the semi-finals and their opponent South Africa. Glenn Maxwell scored a double century as Australia's first batsman in this match today. Today's match is beyond description, thank you Maxwell for giving us a beautiful match.

[libert19]

Unbelievable innings from Maxwell, he hits a ball, either it goes for a six or finds a gap and boundary.

Imo, it was wrong decision from Afghans to give Mujeeb over when there was 1 left of Naveen-ul-haq.

Maxwell's catch drops cost them a match, if you drop catches like that you don't deserve to be in semis, honestly.

Today Australia this match won  very abudant style. Australia's batsman Max well made the impossible possible for today match. Maxwell rained sixes to win the match for Australia. Max well makes 201 runs in 197 ball. But if Maxwell had not played with full effort and effort, this match would have become very difficult. Australia batsman complete this target in 47 overs and won the match .Max well played very obidently . Maxwell won this match for our team.Australia batsman was good effort for this match .this is a great achievement for Australia team.Afghanistan was bad luck because they lose this match.

Call me crazy but I think Netherlands will squeek out a win tomorrow vs England

Call me crazy but I think Netherlands will squeek out a win tomorrow vs England 

I don't know. If Netherlands actually win against England, that won't be a surprise anymore. England is in horrific form, and I won't be surprised if they end up at the bottom of the points table. On the other hand, Netherlands won against one of the strongest teams in this tournament (South Africa) and also got two points during their match against Bangladesh. If the Dutch actually win, it will be a big boost for them, as they can qualify for the 2025 Champions Trophy. Their fund allocation from the ICC will also witness a big jump.

I stopped watching the match when Australia had lost 7 wickets for 91 runs. I was expecting another big upset in the making and when I woke up today I was surprised to see that they won. Saw the highlights and felt the same about Maxwell's batting, zero footwork only hand and eye coordination with power hitting. Some of his shots reminded me of how golfers hit the ball, it was just power-hitting because of the cramps. None of the teams that batted second in Wankhede have been successful in chasing in this World Cup. Australia became the first team to do so and Maxwell became the first batter to score 201 in World Cup while chasing.

After the loss, Afghanistan is still in the game for fourth place with Pakistan and New Zealand. Austalia becomes the third team to enter the semifinals. With this loss, the Afghan team would be demoralized and I do not think they will be able to come out of it. Today Netherlands will be playing against England, at the moment both are at the bottom of the point table. I feel the Netherlands will be able to defeat the English side today.
