ICC World Cup 2023: India (326/5) continue their domination with a staggering 243-run win over South Africa (83)

[Asif321]

Afghanistan should watch this . Bat first score 270-280 and demolish this batting

 

[deltexas]

Gone Bmavuma lol ! Useless impacted opener... should have stayed longer for Ind sake..

 

[emranabbas]

Jadeja has been given the special ball and out goes buvama

 

[sweep_shot]

Jadeja damn.
If they get markram and klassen it's over.

Judging by SA's body language, I think it is already over.

 

[kron]

I think they are banking on their beasts down the order who are capable of scoring 200 in 20 overs. I don't think this is not bad from that point.

Yea nha not happening with bumrah and then shami steaming in.

 

[Buffet]

SA needs to bat first in semis.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Bavuma useless player. Good he is gone playing test cricket!

 

[Asif321]

SA getting exposed third time chasing

 

[globetrotter]

Suraj’s bouncer to Bavuma means delivery goes above 2nd floor

 

[deltexas]

Gone Bmavuma lol ! Useless impacted opener... should have stayed longer for Ind sake..

Impactless *

 

[IndoorCricket]

Need to see stylish fast stroke play. Indian bowling is class but SA needs to atleast try to score.

Pitch is not the Bangalore one mate. Cant just play like that. You need to respect good deliveries and create chances eventually.

 

[7sins]

These sa chokers have no chance today or no chance whenever other team will ask them to chase. India or Australia world cup to win because they have the experience of winning titles

 

[searacer932]

It was a "different ball" that BCCI/ICC gave to India which made QDK to cut it

Jadeja did not take the wicket but it's the "different ball" that took the wicket!

 

[captain.hansolo]

This is typically when most people would offer a handshake, resign and utter a simple ‘GG’ and walk away. Alas the South Africans must stay to face the music.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Need to see stylish fast stroke play. Indian bowling is class but SA needs to atleast try to score.

That is very pitch dependent. Real cricket is when pitch is tough and the batsman has to work for every run.

 

[nish_mate]

Can any team play this bowling?

I'm not too sure. Just too good.

Kaala Teeka lagan bhai bowlers ko

 

[Asif321]

SA needs to bat first in semis.

Seems Australia SA semis

India vs Pak/nz/afg

 

[mrtaim3]

How is Buvama playing in this team when the bench is much stronger?

 

[kron]

Match ups
Shami vs markram
Shami has a good matchup vs markram. He struggles vs shami. So india would be wise to bring him on.

 

[captain.hansolo]

These sa chokers have no chance today or no chance whenever other team will ask them to chase. India or Australia world cup to win because they have the experience of winning titles

Funny you call the second best team in the tournament chokers.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Cmon get Aiden

 

[ex-q-zit]

My only worry about this 5 bowler attack although they are the best in the business if 1 of them get injured mid-way in the match like Hardik then it will be disaster. It wouldn't be a bad idea to give Kohli/SKY a few overs in this match or against Netherlands.

 

[sweep_shot]

How can a team turn into beast when batting first and complete opposite when chasing?

This is a psychological issue.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA needs to bat first in semis.

Not just SA. All teams would prefer batting first. It is a massive pressure chasing in a semi final.

 

[Kriketer]

SA is batting like club cricketer. India is bowling decent but nothing you can't score over at a decent rate.

 

[Asif321]

How is Buvama playing in this team when the bench is much stronger?

Parchi

 

[jnaveen1980]

How can a team turn into beast when batting first and complete opposite when chasing?

This is a psychological issue.

Not in this match. They are being owned so far. Against Pakistan they were cruising and almost choked by reckless shots

 

[kron]

Why does jadeja look so dangerous when he bowls yet our nawaz shadab and ifti all look clueless. Jadeja is a class test bowler that's why. He honed his skills there.

 

[Asif321]

SA is batting like club cricketer. India is bowling decent but nothing you can't score over at a decent rate.

They were shivering chasing vs Dutch and Pakistan . Had drs gone Pakistan way . Pakistan had won that

 

[IndoorCricket]

Siraj.. yuck man.. Pathetic fielder.

 

[jnaveen1980]

SA is batting like club cricketer. India is bowling decent but nothing you can't score over at a decent rate.

Not every batsman can be as good as Afghan batsmen to deal with Indian seamers

 

[kron]

How is Buvama playing in this team when the bench is much stronger?

Same with india. Bench has better batsmen lol.

Sa with Hendricks or maybe janneman Malan would be better than bavuma.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Siraj is never getting the field medal, what the hell man! A single bad fielding can cascade into a momentum shift in Knockouts.

 

[nish_mate]

Markram cutting loose

 

[jnaveen1980]

Ball is seaming for shami !!! just a little bit. Will that be enough

 

[OldWarHorse]

Deliberately letting boundaries off Shami cause he almost did the Sajdah

 

[Sunzi]

Markram gone. Shami strikes.

 

[jnaveen1980]

I think RVD is biding his time. Probably the right way to go. Once dew forms he can up the ante

 

[7sins]

Indian bowlers too good specially under lights they are monsters

 

[captain.hansolo]

Gg folks

 

[IAJ]

lol 35/3

 

[dravidthewall]

Shami first over wicket again

 

[nish_mate]

And Markram reeled in...

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

They were shivering chasing vs Dutch and Pakistan . Had drs gone Pakistan way . Pakistan had won that

dont know about the shivering bit...but in same match pak vs saf, you got decision for Rassie dussen in same way in your favour...it balanced out in same game...

 

[7sins]

I think RVD is biding his time. Probably the right way to go. Once dew forms he can up the ante

Yeah but others are throwing away

 

[Asif321]

Wow shami is legend

 

[globetrotter]

Choking process started for SA

 

[dravidthewall]

Legend Shami

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Ridiculous bowling lol.

Give them the trophy already

 

[jnaveen1980]

Why does jadeja look so dangerous when he bowls yet our nawaz shadab and ifti all look clueless. Jadeja is a class test bowler that's why. He honed his skills there.

Jadeja is a fantastic test match bowler with amazing records. What does Nawaz/Ifti have. They are bit part players who darts.

 

[globetrotter]

Wow Shammi great…. Local boy

 

[Asif321]

dont know about the shivering bit...but in same match pak vs saf, you got decision for Rassie dussen in same way in your favour...it balanced out in same game...

Yep but what I mean to say is they crumble chasing . While India are doing it both ways batting or chasing they have been clinical

 

[batandballbattle]

shame, he was breaking the shackles a little too...
another one sided blowout on the cards

 

[emranabbas]

Hard work pays off

 

[Mas-LFC]

Mohammed Shami. Top quality skilful pacer. Can’t how they left him out for Thakur!

 

[Asif321]

Imagine India going unbeaten to semis and lose semis lmao

 

[7sins]

Funny you call the second best team in the tournament chokers.

Funny maybe you're new to watching cricket ? That's the story of sa in every tournament play good in group stage and then choke

 

[mrtaim3]

Absolute dominance from this Indian team.

 

[jnaveen1980]

That was a great outswinger from Shami

 

[sweep_shot]

So, the two semi-finals are now almost confirmed.

Ind vs Pak/NZ
SA vs Aus.

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

Yep but what I mean to say is they crumble chasing . While India are doing it both ways batting or chasing they have been clinical

ok...valid point. but still they are num 2 on table and cannot be taken lighlty at any point...still a terrific team

 

[searacer932]

Jadeja did not take the wicket but it's the "different ball" that took the wicket!

Siraj given 1 special ball. Jadeja given 1 special ball. Shami given 1 special ball.

I demand that 1 special ball be given to "King Kohli" as well

 

[7sins]

Jadeja is a fantastic test match bowler with amazing records. What does Nawaz/Ifti have. They are bit part players who darts.

It's very hard to even compare ifti to jadeja ifti hardly knows at domestic level. But Nawaz is shockingly bad because he have played very limited first class cricket where as jadeja have alone played 180+ first class and test cricket

 

[Energy]

South Africa is an easy opponent in the knock out games. Australia definitely reaching yet another final.

 

[FearlessRoar]

In semis, India will be under pressure. They will be afraid of losing the game. I am sure

 

[7sins]

Lol it was very good toss to win for India check out the turn in just 9th ovet

 

[sweep_shot]

South Africa is an easy opponent in the knock out games. Australia definitely reaching yet another final.

Yup.

If Australia make it to final, I also expect them to win it.

 

[mominsaigol]

South Africa is an easy opponent in the knock out games. Australia definitely reaching yet another final.

Their an easy opponent if you get them to chase.

These duds have no clue how to chase lol.

It's why they lost to nedtherlands, nearly lost to Pakistan and will now lose to India.

They just know how to bazzball bat 1st lol

 

[Buffet]

Funny maybe you're new to watching cricket ? That's the story of sa in every tournament play good in group stage and then choke

No problem with having a bad game here against Indian bowlers. No other team is bowling like this. Semis is going to be against Aus.

 

[emranabbas]

Imagine India going unbeaten to semis and lose semis lmao

I just have the feeling india are going to lose semi final or final

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol it was very good toss to win for India check out the turn in just 9th ovet

Infact Maharaja turned more .

 

[IndoorCricket]

Klaasen plays on backfoot. He should negate jadeja

 

[CrIc_Mystique]

C'mon get killer miller

 

[Asif321]

I just have the feeling india are going to lose semi final or final

They deserve to play final atleast

 

[globetrotter]

Mohammed Shami. Top quality skilful pacer. Can’t how they left him out for Thakur!

Very similar to Fakhar for Imam

 

[karthikc]

Lol it was very good toss to win for India check out the turn in just 9th ovet

Reminds me of the 96 wc semi...IND vs Lanka..ball turned square

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Imagine India going unbeaten to semis and lose semis lmao

wouldn't that be just sad if you are objective about it. The most deserving misses out because of a single game?

 

[emranabbas]

They deserve to play final atleast

100 percent along with pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

No problem with having a bad game here against Indian bowlers. No other team is bowling like this. Semis is going to be against Aus.

Assuming India wins here Aus vs SA will be a classic event. Not sure if they ever met each other in semis after 1999

 

[Buffet]

I just have the feeling india are going to lose semi final or final

Off course they can lose. Kohli may not bat till the end all the time and their bowler may not be able to defend 230 runs. That's the best way to win against India.
