The ICC World Cup 2023 tournament discussion

[hassan918]

Bharat is at #2 now and after having faced Aussies, that’s a good place to be in.

Also the NRR has improved considerably after the Afghan game

NRR would be a factor at the backend of the tournament and there would be at least one team at the end of the round robin stage who will qualify for the semifinals on the run rate.

We are likely to see some more records broken in this World Cup.

 

[hassan918]

Australia finally got their first win of the tournament today and this impressive will surely give them very good confidence going into the next games. I believe they have good enough team to go all the way.

 

[hassan918]

New Zealand looked really solid again today against Afghanistan and they will surely be a hard team to beat in this tournament. Santner is on fire with 11 wickets.

 

[hassan918]

India keep their unbeaten record in tact in this World Cup after they beat Bangladesh without much difficulty. It will be a HUGE game on Sunday between New Zealand and India with the winner will almost certain to book his place in the semifinals.

 

[Kianig89]

Still believe that a group format has more charm than a round Robin format, the unpredictability in group format adds the excitement

 

[hassan918]

Still believe that a group format has more charm than a round Robin format, the unpredictability in group format adds the excitement

This is actually a very good format. Every team gets a chance to play against each team once so there are no easy or hard groups and every team gets equal opportunity to go forward.

 

[hassan918]

South Africa made a great statement today after their thumping performance against the champions.

 

[Kianig89]

Let's discuss about the role of management and coaches in particular, looks like coaching in cricket is overrated players mostly play on instinct and there is more of mental part to it, like the listless bowling of Eng totally freezed the world class batsman like Bairstow Stokes Root Brook and Eng did a meek surrender.

Similarly the occasion got to Usama Mir and he dropped a dolly only for and IPL veteran Warner to grab it with both hands.

Also the dew factor is constantly in the minds of captains and Babar Buttler fell prey to it.

 

[hassan918]

These streaks are keep on going in this World Cup so far.

 

[Unbiased-Fan]

As expected, this tournament is dominated heavily by the batsman. But, some bowlers still managed to impress everyone by their clever bowling.
Presenting you the team of tournament till 21st match ;

Rohit Sharma (capt)
Quinton de Kock
Virat Kohli
Mohammad Rizwan (wk)
Rachin Ravindra
Daryl Mitchell
Ravi Jadeja
Mitch Santner
Matt Henry
Jasprit Bumrah
Aryan Dutt
12th man- Kuldeep Yadav

[hassan918]

South Africa seem to be on a roll and they can go all the way in this World Cup. Their top order is scoring runs as well as middle order plus their bowlers are performing really well. India vs South Africa this Sunday is like to be a CRACKER.

Cricket World Cup 2023: Approaching Milestones At The Marquee ICC Event​

The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 is nearly half done and the favourites have been established. Some sparkling individual performances, backed by a few inspiring team efforts, have made the tournament intriguing with every passing match. Around the halfway mark, India are the only team without a defeat and every other team has picked up at least one victory. New Zealand and South Africa are continuing their terrific run while defending champions England find themselves at the foot of the table after match No. 22.

There is plenty to play for during this tournament and some star names are approaching major milestones. Here's a look at some of the records that could be dusted during the ICC World Cup 2023.

1. Most centuries in ODIs

Virat Kohli is two triple-figure scores away from achieving one of the finest records in ODI cricket history. The former Indian captain has been in spectacular form in 2023 and is scoring runs with ease. He currently has 48 centuries in the 50-over format, just one shy of Sachin Tendulkar's 49.

Kohli had an opportunity to surpass that number in the tournament. He got out just short of a century against Australia and New Zealand, which could've seen him level and overtake Tendulkar. Kohli is India's leading run-scorer in the current edition of the World Cup.

2. Most sixes in ODI World Cup

Rohit Sharma has already headlined this World Cup with one major achievement in ODI cricket. The Indian skipper went past Chris Gayle as the leading six-hitter in international cricket in the match against Afghanistan and is currently chasing another Gayle record.

Chris Gayle hit 49 sixes in the ODI World Cup, the most for any batter. Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has 40 sixes in the tournament history, having added 17 in the ongoing edition. Considering his form, Rohit Sharma is definitely in contention to take the top spot in this record.

3. Most wickets in ODI World Cup for India

Mohammed Shami is closing in on Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan's record for most wickets in ODI World Cups among Indians. Srinath and Zaheer, two of India's finest pacers, picked up 44 wickets donning the coloured jersey in World Cup cricket.

Mohammad Shami - who featured in the 2015, 2019 and 2023 World Cups - has 36 wickets in 12 matches. Shami also has a better average (15.02) and strike-rate (17.69) than Javagal Srinath and Zaheer Khan. Although Shami is not a regular in the side, he picked up a five-fer in his first outing of the tournament against New Zealand.

4. Most 50+ scores in ODI run chases

Virat Kohli is looking to achieve plenty of epic milestones at the ICC World Cup 2023. Another major one within touching distance for the 35-year-old is the most 50+ scores for a batter in ODIs while chasing.

Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli are currently on level terms. Tendulkar has scored 17 centuries and 52 half-centuries, while Kohli has 27 centuries and 40 half-centuries - both accounting for 69 50+ scores each. Kohli, who is one of the contenders to finish as the top run-scorer, is highly likely to break this record in this edition.

5. Most centuries in a single edition of the ODI World Cup

Not many Indian fans can forget Rohit Sharma's exploits at the ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2019. The opener smashed five centuries and was the leading run-scorer in that tournament. However, Quinton de Kock is close to breaking his record in the ongoing World Cup.

The South African batter, who confirmed that this will be his final tournament in ODIs, has scored three centuries in the tournament so far - against Sri Lanka, Australia and Bangladesh. With the Proteas looking set to reach the semi-finals, there is a good opportunity for Quinton de Kock to surpass him.

Virat Kohli, who currently has 48 centuries in ODIs, is only one short of Sachin Tendulkar’s all-time record of 49 ODI tons.

Team Australia looks to be picking form at just the right time and they are looking like a team that can trouble any other team in this World Cup.

World Cup State of Play: England and Sri Lanka campaigns on brink of collapse

India are the tournament pacesetters while England and Sri Lanka will both be out to give their semi-final hopes a much-needed boost in their clash at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023.

The hosts are joined by South Africa, New Zealand and Australia in the critical top-four spots on the current Cricket World Cup standings but all 10 teams can still dream of claiming a place in the knockout stages.

Here is the state of play ahead of the England and Sri Lanka clash on 26 October:

1. India (five wins, no losses)

Most runs: Virat Kohli (354 runs)
Most wickets: Jasprit Bumrah (11 wickets)

The hosts are in the driver’s seat to secure a crucial top-four finish after starting their campaign with five comprehensive victories.

India are yet to be truly tested as their well-balanced bowling attack has been able to contain - and often tear through - the opposition batting group to ensure their second-innings target is manageable.

The tournament pacesetters have won each match so far while batting second with captain Rohit Sharma and chase master Virat Kohli leading the way, so it remains to be seen what sort of damage India can do across a full 50 overs.

Still to play: England (29 October), Sri Lanka (2 November), South Africa (5 November), Netherlands (12 November)

2. South Africa (four wins, one loss)

Most wickets: Quinton de Kock (407 runs)
Most wickets: Kagiso Rabada, Gerald Coetzee, Marco Jansen (10 wickets each)

South Africa have sent a warning shot across the tournament with four totals above 300 - including more than 400 against Sri Lanka - that have secured four emphatic victories.

The Proteas’ one blemish came in a shock 38-run loss to familiar foes Netherlands when they were skittled out for 207 in their only run chase so far at the Cricket World Cup.

But with a batting group led by opener Quinton de Kock and an explosive middle order, it is unlikely South Africa will continue to suffer from second-innings blues as another shot at an elusive semi-final victory looks all but assured.

Still to play: Pakistan (27 October), New Zealand (1 November), India (5 November), Afghanistan (10 November)

3. New Zealand (four wins, one loss)

Most runs: Rachin Ravindra (290 runs)
Most wickets: Mitch Santner (12 wickets)

The runner’s up at the past two Cricket World Cups are well-placed to secure yet another semi-final berth after thumping defending champions England in their opener then clinching resounding victories over less-fancied opponents.

But tougher tests are to come for New Zealand who showed they could match it with pacesetters India without ever quite taking control of the contest that they ultimately lost by four wickets.

With four wins in the bank and a healthy net run rate, New Zealand likely need two more victories to lock in their spot in the knockout stages and hope to secure at least one of those against fellow contenders Australia and South Africa.

Still to play: Australia (28 October), South Africa (1 November), Pakistan (4 November), Sri Lanka (9 November)

4. Australia (three wins, two losses)

Most runs: David Warner (332 runs)
Most wickets: Adam Zampa (13 wickets)

The five-time champions have been building momentum as the tournament progresses after starting their campaign with two disappointing losses.

Three convincing wins have followed as their batters have found form with at least one strong innings each, while their trio of pacers and spinner Adam Zampa have also made their mark.

Australia arguably still have room for improvement - both in terms of performances and personnel - as they aim to win at least one of their upcoming clashes with arch-rivals New Zealand and England to keep one foot in the knockout stages.

Still to play: New Zealand (28 October), England (4 November), Afghanistan (7 November), Bangladesh (11 November)

5. Pakistan (two wins, three losses)

Most runs: Mohammad Rizwan (302 runs)
Most wickets: Shaheen Afridi (10 wickets)

Pakistan impressed as they opened their Cricket World Cup with two comprehensive victories but have fallen back into the pack to be on the brink of missing out on the knockout stages.

While a thumping at the hands of heated rivals India always stings, it is the loss to Afghanistan that could prove most costly as Pakistan is left with plenty to do in their remaining fixtures.

It is crucial that the 1992 champions snap their three-match losing streak when they face a surging South Africa next otherwise Pakistan will likely be relying on other results to go their way to keep their semi-final hopes alive.

Still to play: South Africa (27 October), Bangladesh (31 October), New Zealand (4 November), England (11 November)

6. Afghanistan (two wins, three losses)

Most runs: Rahmanullah Gurbaz (224 runs)
Most wickets: Naveen-ul-Haq, Rashid Khan (six wickets each)

Afghanistan are well and truly still in the mix to earn a semi-final berth and will likely need to win at least three of their remaining four matches - if not them all - if they are to sneak in.

Openers Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran have been in fine form, while the spin quartet of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Mohammad Nabi and Noor Ahmad have all caused some concern for opposition batters at different stages of the tournament.

Still to play: Sri Lanka (30 October), Netherlands (3 November), Australia (7 November), South Africa (10 November)

7. Sri Lanka (one win, three losses)

Most runs: Sadeera Samarawickrama (230 runs)
Most wickets: Dilshan Madushanka (11 wickets)

Injuries prior to the tournament and in the first three weeks in India have proven costly for the 1996 champions who have managed just one triumph heading into their crunch clash with England.

The absence of star spinner Wanindu Hasaranga has put too much pressure on Maheesh Theekshana, while the loss of Matheesha Pathirana just this week has also put another dampener on what promised to be a competitive campaign.

A win against England is critical to keeping Sri Lanka's hopes for the semi-finals intact, while a loss could prove the end to their hopes of reaching the knockout stage.

Still to play: England (26 October), Afghanistan (30 October), India (2 November), Bangladesh (6 November), New Zealand (9 November)

8. England (one win, three losses)

Most runs: Dawid Malan (192 runs)
Most wickets: Reece Topley (eight wickets)

The defending champions’ clash with Sri Lanka looms as a must-win encounter as a loss to the Asian side could leave England with too much to do heading into the backend of the tournament.

Not much has gone right for England thus far with the loss of in-form quick Reece Topley to injury and the absence of Ben Stokes for the first three matches of the campaign putting a dent in their chances for back-to-back titles.

Their sole victory so far in India came against ninth-placed Bangladesh and a win against Sri Lanka is needed to give them a chance of reaching the final four.

Still to play: Sri Lanka (26 October), India (29 October), Australia (4 November), Netherlands (8 November), Pakistan (11 November)

9. Bangladesh (one win, four losses)

Most runs: Mahmudullah Riyad (198 runs)
Most wickets: Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan Miraz, Shoriful Islam (six wickets each)

The Asian side made a great start to the 2023 World Cup with a commanding victory against Afghanistan, but subsequent losses to England, New Zealand, India and South Africa have seen their semi-final hopes all but extinguished.

Bangladesh would need to win all their remaining four matches at the tournament and have other results go their way to have any chance of sneaking into the knockout stage of the event. On current form it looms as a tough ask for Shakib Al Hasan's side.

Still to play: Netherlands (28 October), Pakistan (31 October), Sri Lanka (6 November), Australia (11 November)

10. Netherlands (one win, four losses)

Most runs: Colin Ackermann (137 runs)
Most wickets: Bas de Leede (nine wickets)

The crushing loss to Australia all but put an end to Netherlands' chances of reaching the semi-finals in India, with the Dutch now needing to win all four of their remaining matches to keep alive any slim hopes.

The upset victory over South Africa has been the clear highlight of Netherlands' campaign thus far and Scott Edwards' side were far from outclassed in each of their other matches until crossing paths with a rampant Australia.

Still to play: Bangladesh (28 October), Afghanistan (3 November), England (8 November), India (12 November

[hassan918]

With England heavy loss today against Sri Lanka, they are now very much OUT of the tournament.

 

[hassan918]

With 4 losses in a row, it looks all over for team Pakistan in this World Cup.

 

[hassan918]

Yesterday, we had a really great game between Pakistan and South African and today we witnessed a fantastic game between Australia and New Zealand. This world cup is heating up very nicely.

 

[hassan918]

Afghanistan moved up to number 5 in the points table after beating Sri Lanka by 7 wickets. They are very much in the hunt for a semi-final spot now. Their next game is against Netherlands that they are likely to win so who knows what they can achieve in this World Cup.

 

[hassan918]

This is how the batters have been playing in this World Cup in the first 10 overs. Not a surprise to see Pakistan at the bottom when it comes to hitting the aggressive shot inside the first power-play.

 

[160KPH]

Why does India even play Siraj even when Pandya is healthy? Siraj is a nothing bowler unless the conditions are very helpful. Shami is class.

 

[hassan918]

Pakistan with a big win today against Bangladesh are still in race for a semi-final spot but they must win their remaining two games with a fair margins as well.

 

[hassan918]

This world cup is getting more interesting with every match. Today's big New Zealand defeat against South Africa has been things very interesting in the race of top 4.

 

[mominsaigol]

Flop XI of the world cup so far


1.Kusal Perera
2.Shubman Gill (probably due to dengue)
3.Babar Azam (most overrated batsman finally got exposed infront of all)
4.Steve Smith
5.Jos Buttler
6.Towhid Hriday

8.Mitchell Starc
9.Mark Wood
10.Haris Rauf
11.Siraj/Wood

Gill has still done better then bairstow lol, and bairstow was the star opener In 2019 wc. Tbf both bairstow and Gill are out of it.

One just recovered from dengue and isn't fully fit the other didn't play for nearly 4 years due to frequent injuries.

 

[hassan918]

Afghanistan are now at number 5 spot with 8 points and if they can book their place in the semifinals by winning their remaining two matches. Will we see this happening?

 

[hassan918]

What an amazing game we witnessed today as Fakhar Zaman went berserk and helped his team get an important win against New Zealand. They are very much in contention for the semi-finals. We have some really exciting games coming in the next few days in this World Cup.

 

[Kianig89]

Pakistan scheduling was also not ideal, two back to back tough opponents Ind and Aus took toll on us, then AFG at Chennai was also not ideal Lucknow or Pune would have been better, nonetheless nothing to blame just a random thought

 

[hassan918]

Pakistan scheduling was also not ideal, two back to back tough opponents Ind and Aus took toll on us, then AFG at Chennai was also not ideal Lucknow or Pune would have been better, nonetheless nothing to blame just a random thought

I don't think any team should have an issue with the scheduling as all teams are playing with the similar kind of gap.

 

[hassan918]

WOW, what an innings we have just witnessed and an incredible match that had everything. Australia with this win have booked their place in the semi-finals and now only one spot left in the semis. We are going to have some cracking games in the next few days.

 

[hassan918]

A big game coming up tomorrow in the race of the remaining semi-final spot. This World Cup got off to a rather slow start but it has been buzzing in the second half of it.

 

[hassan918]

After New Zealand's big win today, the semi-final spots are now very much done. India will take on New Zealand and Australia will play against South Africa. Not many were expecting only one Asian team to make it to the semi-final but this is what we have got now.

 

[hassan918]

Today, we saw India tests a bit even after scoring 397 runs. Without Shami's brilliance, New Zealand could get nearer the target.

 

[hassan918]

India and Australia are the two best teams with highest run-rate in first powerplay. It won't be a surprise if we see both these teams play in the FINAL that is looking very likely at the moment.

Rs 11,637 Crore: ICC's Mega Claim On What "Economic Benefit" India Got From World Cup​

The ODI World Cup 2023 was a great one for the Indian cricket team. Barring the heart-break in the final, the Rohit Sharma-led Indian team impressed all. Off the field too, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has now claimed that the ODi World Cup impacted India in a big way. In a report titled, "ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 Delivers Economic Boost to India", the ICC said the 2023 ODI World Cup in India created an "economic benefit" of USD 1.39 billion with tourism among the biggest beneficiaries.

The Economic Impact Assessment conducted by Nielsen for the ICC, claimed that the mega-event held in October-November last year was the biggest ever ODI World Cup. "The ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023 has demonstrated the significant economic power of cricket, generating economic benefit of USD 1.39 billion (Rs 11,637 crore) for India," ICC Chief Executive, Geoff Allardice said in a statement.

Australia ended India's unbeaten run in the tournament to win the trophy for a record-extending sixth time.

"The impact of tourism across the host cities amounted to USD 861.4 million of revenue generation, through accommodation, travel, transportation and food and beverage because of a massive influx of domestic and foreign tourists attending the matches," read an ICC statement.

"The secondary and incremental spends within the economy was a key driver, generating USD 515.7 million, which was approximately 37 per cent of the total impact."

However, the ICC did not specify whether the massive figure cited in the report is actual revenue.

A record-breaking 1.25 million spectators attended the mega event, of which nearly 75 per cent were attending an ICC 50-over match for the first time ever, the report claimed.

"Nearly 55 per cent of the international respondents had previously visited India regularly, whilst an injection of new visitors thanks to the World Cup saw 19% of international attendees making their first ever visit to the country.

"International travellers visited multiple tourist destinations during their stay which amounted to an economic impact of USD281.2 million and nearly 68 per cent of international attendees said that they would recommend India as a tourist destination to friends and family in the future further enhancing India's global image," read the statement from the governing body.

Over 48,000 full and part time jobs were created by the event through direct involvement in delivering the tournament, as well as other organisations across the hospitality sector, added the report.

"The event created thousands of jobs and showcased India as a premier tourist destination, proving that ICC events not only engage fans passionately but also contribute significantly to the economies of our host nations," Allardice said.

Tourism from the 10 host cities generated 7,230cr.

Most attended World Cup in history.

"It is a well-known fact that the main source of the ICC earning in the World Cups comes through titanic Indo-Pak titanic clashes. ".. Is this true @cricketjoshila?

Not at all.

ICC rights are sold region wise with the bulk of it coming from India territory.

ICC rights are sold for $3.3bn. $3bn coming from India. Next is England and then Australia. Imagine how little the RoW contributes including Pakistan.

There are no separate rights sale for India Pakistan matches.

If Pakistan had that much economic clout, PCB won't be struggling to get even $10mn for its own rights.
