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

[Asif321]

Arghhh pace again

 

[karthikc]

In this tournament I mean... No shame in that... Aussies will admit it being sportive people... It is SC fans who are arrogant! BTW Aussies definitely learnt killer attitude from 70s WI Cricket... if you want to go by history! Australia was a minnow team back then!

LOL..what are you smoking...just because Aussies didnt win world cup till 1987 doesnt mean they were minnows. Even in 1975 world cup they didnt give up till the end. Minnow team in ODI till 1979 was India

 

[sweep_shot]

Not understanding Bavuma's logic. LOL.

What is he saving the spinners for?

 

[Sunzi]

Smith gone

 

[Ahmed216]

Why are the fast bowlers bowling too short?

Biggest reason why they've struggled in Kolkata. That is their natural length.
Its a slow pitch with good bounce. Anything pitched short sits up nicely to be spanked

 

[kingusama92]

Smith gone.

Another twist?

 

[Ali Active]

Smith gone whoaaa mannnn this is nervous now

 

[Asif321]

Important catch

 

[7sins]

Game on again

 

[Devadwal]

Match is already Over.

 

[IndoorCricket]

***.. What was that shot!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too late for a wicket?

 

[sweep_shot]

Coetzee gets Smith.

Is there a twist?

 

[shah_1]

Smith just did a afridi loool

 

[Ahmed216]

Shahid Smith

 

[oatmeal]

Have to say too little too late

 

[Ali Active]

i hope this is the time Sa win close game and change world rules things have been too same we need a change

 

[pillionrider]

Whaaaaaaaaaaattt was that shot

 

[7sins]

That's just patethic way to get out by such an experienced guy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Way too late.

 

[Asif321]

Door is slightly open

 

[Ali Active]

Match is already Over.

there are bowlers left now

 

[Geordie Ahmed]

That was an absurd shot, so unnecessary too

 

[sweep_shot]

That was an unnecessary shot from Smith.

39 to win. They could've finished it off with singles and doubles.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Door is slightly open

Unless the get Inglis as well. That guy has big game. He can take away in one over

 

[pillionrider]

Not understanding Bavuma's logic. LOL.

What is he saving the spinners for?

Now we'll see them

 

[mominsaigol]

@kron JEE boss abh Samaj ai? I told you this aussie team is the 2nd weakest ever after 2011.

Comparing to the 2007 and 2015 is weird but it's okay. You have seen the light now brother. Now preach my words of wisdom to the Melbourne masses.

 

[Asif321]

Crucial time now !

 

[pillionrider]

Unless the get Inglis as well. That guy has big game. He can take away in one over

He looks too cool for such a big game. Looks a bit like Finch

 

[Devadwal]

70 runs would have make South Africa favourite but 39 runs can be done with two more wickets

 

[oatmeal]

Not understanding Bavuma's logic. LOL.

What is he saving the spinners for?

Only three overs of Spin left

 

[globetrotter]

SA need one more quick wicket to seal the match

 

[Sunzi]

No Cummins?

Saving him for stability?

 

[Asif321]

Can they get inglis quick

 

[kron]

Would still say better than 2019 as well. In Asian conditions is a different story. Australia wouldn't have won the world cuo in Asia in 2015 either.

 

[Asif321]

I hope they don’t lose by one wicket that would hurt either lose now or win now

 

[sweep_shot]

Now we'll see them

Due to Smith's poor shot.

Not Bavuma's brilliance.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Starc in. Worth attacking with Tabraiz now?

 

[Devadwal]

I hope they don’t lose by one wicket that would hurt either lose now or win now

How about win by 1 runs

 

[kingusama92]

An interesting ploy to send Starc.

Maybe going for the left-right combo at the crease?

 

[kron]

What is going on lollll.cricus

 

[rhony]

Absolute mental midgets. This isn't the old Australia.

 

[Ahmed216]

You'd still back mental giants Aussies to win this

 

[sweep_shot]

An interesting ploy to send Starc.

Maybe going for the left-right combo at the crease?

Starc generally comes ahead of Cummins, Hazlewood, and Zampa.

 

[Devadwal]

An interesting ploy to send Starc.

Maybe going for the left-right combo at the crease?

To play two three attacking Shots and it's game over .

 

[RamLakhan]

How was Australia a minnow in 1970s? They went to final of first World Cup (1975 WC).

Everyone were minnow in front of West Indies team...

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Coetzee bowling fast and short. 147, 148 kph.

 

[Sunzi]

You can bowl that line now Shamsi

 

[Asif321]

Comon shamsi boy win it here and now

 

[7sins]

Coetzee and rachin are find of the tournament

 

[oatmeal]

This over is key

 

[oatmeal]

Yesterday was Shami final, could today be Shamsi final?

 

[RamLakhan]

I think Australia want to make this game interesting (Probably instruction from BCCI)

 

[kingusama92]

Big over for Shamsi

 

[sweep_shot]

Shamsi is back.

These 3 spin overs may decide the game.

 

[Ab Fan]

1999 repeat guys..any super over?

 

[sweep_shot]

37 more to win.

 

[Devadwal]

Need inglis wickets to make things more spicy

 

[Champ_Pal]

Bad bowling by Shamsi. Bowling too short or on the pads. Wasting so many deliveries.

 

[7sins]

Well done starc

 

[kingusama92]

Two overs of quality spin left.

 

[Asif321]

arrey bhai khatam karo

 

[sweep_shot]

Shamsi has 1 over left. Maharaj has 1 over left.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Australia are so tough and nerveless. Respect

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Markram from other end? Starc can hit inwards spin pretty well.

 

[Asif321]

India is wining this Cup . No way Australia gonna beat India at Ahmedabad

 

[kingusama92]

Huge boundary for Inglis

 

[7sins]

4 inglis

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Both these teams are mugs

 

[Sunzi]

Boundary.

 

[Ali Active]

this match needs a super over

 

[Asif321]

Inglis bhai making sure its done

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Nerveless knock by Inglis

 

[jnaveen1980]

Inglis is winning. At this point even Cummins can win. They started the attack very late.

 

[sweep_shot]

Josh Inglis has great technique. Better technique than Wade and Carey.

Proper batter.

 

[Ali Active]

inglis is cool and calm like playing in nets

 

[Asif321]

Bavuma. Should have Sarfraz behind stumps . Idhar aao bavuma tumari khair nahi

 

[7sins]

India is wining this Cup . No way Australia gonna beat India at Ahmedabad

Could be the case Ahmedabad pitch will also on the slower side. But this match could be a great practice for them for what to come on sudnay

 

[GLORY OF '92]

India is wining this Cup . No way Australia gonna beat India at Ahmedabad

Only a fool rules Australia out. India favs but they will need the openers out early

 

[jnaveen1980]

Bringing on Maharaj for first over on a turning track after AUstralia reaching 93 runs while chasing 202 has to be the dumbest captaincy move of this world cup.
