ICC World Cup 2023: Australia (215/7) defeat South Africa (212 all out) by 3 wickets to reach the finals of ICC World Cup 2023

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Warner goneeeeeq

 

[Champ_Pal]

if iam india i will be very scared aus has turned on their beast mode. they are really difficult to beat now.

Aus will always be a champion side.

 

[Asif321]

Spin is need of hour

 

[Sunzi]

When caption is crap Bavuma who doesn't inspired or show any aggression becouse of his own performance then only God can save this Team.

It's embarrassing.

I was prepared to blame the batting on the pitch and the conditions.

I was wrong. Aus bowled well but it wasn't exactly peak West Indies.

Just choked with the bat. They remain chokers in knockouts and crunch games.

Markram strikes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should have done first over

 

[kingusama92]

They were always India's biggest threat on the way to WC win.

Rest were all pretenders.

India should still win but Australia is definitely a worthy opponent in the final. It's going to be a tough game for India.

 

[Devadwal]

if iam india i will be very scared aus has turned on their beast mode. they are really difficult to beat now.

Not at all .we are ready .

 

[Asif321]

This is time SA to get back . Spin both ends

 

[globetrotter]

Warner copying Rohit… SA out of WC

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Good bowl by Markram.

 

[Ali Active]

Not at all .we are ready .

it will be cracker of a game

 

[Champ_Pal]

1 down now. But Aus have already knocked off 30% of the runs in no time.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Brainless Bavuma already conceded the advantage by bowling 5 freebie overs from his seamers

 

[kingusama92]

Warner gone.

Maybe a chance?

 

[RamLakhan]

Don't worry BCCI will fix it...

 

[Devadwal]

India should still win but Australia is definitely a worthy opponent in the final. It's going to be a tough game for India.

Absolutely.we can see one of the best world cup finale as both team are very good. clash of titans.

 

[7sins]

Damage is already done

 

[jnaveen1980]

What is great about Bavuma's captaincy? He is not even tactically good.

 

[Champ_Pal]

Warner gone.

Maybe a chance?

No chance. That was a terrible play by Warner. Got bowled by a full straight delivery and Warner went back to cut it. A nothing ball.

 

[Sunzi]

Get Keshav on.

 

[sachin-10dulkar]

Keshav Maharaj's spell will be crucial

 

[jnaveen1980]

No chance. That was a terrible play by Warner. Got bowled by a full straight delivery and Warner went back to cut it. A nothing ball.

It turned a bit. Marsh is weak against spin. They have 2 spinners to use. Problem is they took 6 overs to realize.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

India should still win but Australia is definitely a worthy opponent in the final. It's going to be a tough game for India.

Just look at the names in their team, lol. . They are all either CWC 2015 or World T20 2021 or WTC 2023 champions .

Warner, Smith, Maxwell, Hazlewood, Cummins, Starc, Zampa - all are either white ball or red ball ATGs.

 

[Asif321]

Get maharaj Comon 100/5

 

[RamLakhan]

What is great about Bavuma's captaincy? He is not even tactically good.

At least he should be playing just as player! Giving captaincy to him is bit too much!

 

[AAli98]

And I am baffled at how we keep losing test series against this joke of a nation when we tour there! We should have definitely won the last two series (at least the last one!)

SA are bilateral kings 2nd when it comes to pitch doctoring, they just want icc tournaments too much hence always failing.

 

[deltexas]

For all the bullying of SA against Australia in bilaterals and leauge game they faltered in the most important game despite having the toss advantage.

Sa won 15 of their last 18 meetings with aus. 15 out of 18!! But as always they lose the most important one lol

 

[jnaveen1980]

If SA doesn't reach finals it is their Bavuma fetish.

 

[Asif321]

Why is he continuing with Rabada runs are crucial

 

[Sunzi]

I like Markram. Strikes me as captain material. Fighter mentality.

 

[kingusama92]

Just look at the names in their team, lol. . They are all either CWC 2015 or World T20 2021 or WTC 2023 champions .

Warner, Smith, Maxwell, Hazlewood, Cummins, Starc, Zampa - all are either white ball or red ball ATGs.

Absolutely.

Lots of big-game players in that XI.

If India wasn't so well-rounded Australia would have grabbed a WC win here.

 

[Asif321]

Get maharaj quick what is he waiting for . Dumb

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on no point for Head?

 

[kingusama92]

Should get spin from both ends. It's their only (faint) chance.

 

[Sunzi]

What a catch!

 

[Rana]

SA coming back into this

100-4

That should be the aim

 

[Asif321]

What a catch woooooo

 

[kingusama92]

Marsh gone!

 

[globetrotter]

Out…. 2nd wkt

 

[jnaveen1980]

Come on SA..

 

[Rana]

Bad news for India if Australia go through

Marsh will not have 2 failures in a row

 

[Asif321]

Amazing take . SA are back in it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Now get rid of head.. you can create jitters. That was a bonus thanks to a screamer from RVD

 

[Smbhayi]

What a catch..

 

[AAli98]

This match is going to end in a tie like the 99 semi.. who goes through in case of tie ?

 

[Rana]

markarm should have opened the bowling

100%

Missed a trick

 

[kingusama92]

Stunner of a catch.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bad news for India if Australia go through

Marsh will not have 2 failures in a row

Marsh against spin sucks.

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

Unless Maharaj picks a 5fer this is over

 

[Devadwal]

Where is @soso_killer ? He was defending Bavuma when we all are criticized him. Everyone know that Bavuma is crap players let Alone Captain. His 47 Batting avarage is misleading as Binny six wickets hall.

 

[Asif321]

Maharaj will be key . Get him in

 

[globetrotter]

Both teams trying hard to loose as no wanna wants to face India in Final

 

[kron]

Just look at the names in their team, lol. . They are all either CWC 2015 or World T20 2021 or WTC 2023 champions .

Warner, Smith, Maxwell, Hazlewood, Cummins, Starc, Zampa - all are either white ball or red ball ATGs.

Just too good. Mental strength.

 

[Ali Active]

100%

Missed a trick

Hope Sa put some sort of fight now they are back in

 

[Sunzi]

Markram's bowling gives me Jadeja vibes. Quick, flat, straight.

 

[Asif321]

Head will be out anytime

 

[kron]

Shouldn't mahraj bowl?

 

[Ali Active]

Sa fighting now

 

[kron]

@Devadwal what does bavuma add? His fielding
That's his main asset.
Batting is more suited for tests

 

[Sunzi]

6 by Head.

 

[Ali Active]

Sa fighting now

head doesn’t care though

 

[Rana]

100-4

That’s all you need to get to SA

 

[Asif321]

need head of Australia

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is why defending in a semi final is always good. You can create pressure out of nowhere. Their toss decision is fine. But their assessment of conditions was poor

 

[Smbhayi]

Look like South Africa playing on home ground..

 

[Asif321]

Shouldn't mahraj bowl?

Yes immediately it’s now or too late

 

[Devadwal]

Australia is not losing this match.

 

[Ali Active]

Sa threw too many wickets up front

 

[Sunzi]

@Devadwal what does bavuma add? His fielding
That's his main asset.
Batting is more suited for tests

Wouldn't call him a great fielder. He was responsible for many fumbles vs Pak, if I remember correctly.

 

[kron]

Not happy with short boundaries though
Make it atleast 70 m on each side.

 

[Asif321]

Rabada continuing

 

[globetrotter]

Marsh looks like pat cash

 

[Asif321]

Head will hit rabada . Wrong tactic

 

[Sunzi]

Sa threw too many wickets up front

Too many wickets up front with the bat and too many runs up front with the ball.

 

[kron]

Get coetzee in

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rabada is still bowling?

 

[kingusama92]

It's silly to continue bowling Rabada. Even the wicket was due to a stunning catch.

 

[7sins]

Marsh been awful he is such a hit and miss cricketer do they need him as no 3 ?

 

[Asif321]

Oh my almost

 

[Sunzi]

Rabada not the play here. He's going for 10 RPO.
