Winning Captain :
Pat Cummins : I think we saved our best for last. We have been batting first pretty much for whole tournament and we thought it is a good night to chase down the target. Didn’t really spin as much as we thought either. The boys were fantastic, we got an aging side and still everyone is throwing themselves on the field. We thought 300 might have been tough but achievable on that wicket, really chuffed with 240. Magnificent. Marnus with a cool head and Travis does what he does on the biggest stage, showed a lot of character. The selectors have backed him in and it is a big risk that we took and it paid off. I was pretty happy throughout the bowling innings. You look around and it is a special moment no matter whatever happened tonight. You gotta go and win the World Cup, you can’t wait for it to happen. This year will be remembered for a long, long time and we had a lot of success over the winter and this one peaks it all. At the top of the mountain.
Losing Captain :
Rohit Sharma :The result has not gone our way. We were not good enough today. We tried everything but it wasn’t supposed to be. 20-30 runs more would have been good, KL and Kohli were stitching a good partnership and we were looking at 270-280 but we kept losing wickets. When you have 240 on the board, you want to take wickets but credit to Head and Labuschagne for putting us out of the game, but I feel wicket got slightly better to bat under lights. Don’t want to give that as an excuse. We didn’t put enough runs on the board. Credit to those two guys in the middle for putting up an outstanding partnership.
Player of the Match :
Travis Head : Never expected this, not in a million years, truly an exceptional day. Lot better than sitting on the couch at home. Really glad to contribute, the first twenty balls I played gave me a lot of confidence and yea I was able to carry through. The way Mitch Marsh came out and took the game on set the tone, we knew the wicket may get tough. Was a great decision to bowl first after winning the toss, it paid dividends. Nice to be a part of it and play a role in all of that. He’s (Rohit Sharma) probably the unluckiest man in the world now. Was great to hold on to that catch, who knows he could’ve probably got a hundred if not more. (On joining the list of centurions in WC finals) Nice list to join, nice to be here, nice to contribute. It’s going to be a nice couple of days, looking forward to it.
Travis Head received his Player of the Match award from Sachin Tendulkar…

*AUSTRALIA VS SOUTH AFRICA
Australia into the Final : Beat South Africa in nail bitting Match
Here in Eden Gardens Kolkata South Africa won the toss and elected to bat first. South Africa trembled right from the beginning and lose their 4 wicket on the score of just 24 run in 12th over. Heinrich kallsen and David Miller then played really well and made a partnership of 95 run. Kallsen out on the individual score of 47 run. David Miller completed well made century and got out on the individual score of 101 run. Somehow South Africa managed to get 212 run.
Australia Start really well and they get 60 run in very quick time of 6 over then David Warner got out in 7th over on the score of 60 run. he scored short but explosive 29 run and hit 4 mighty sixes. After the fall of Warner South Africa come back and palyed some good cricket. South Africa managed to get wickets in regular interval. they got 7 wicket on the score of 193 run and tried hard to get into the game but Australia have little bit luck factor too. Australia managed to won by 3 wicket. Its really a very good fight back by South Africa. Congratulation to Australia they are into the finals now.
Winning Captain :
Pat Cummins : I think it was easier out there than sitting in the dugout. Nerve-wracking couple of hours but it was good to get the result. Wasn’t expecting Starc and Hazlewood to bowl so much early. We knew it was going to spin later on but there was a bit of cloud cover so wasn’t too disappointed about bowling first. We talk a lot about our fielding, probably wasn’t up to standard at the start of the tournament but we were fantastic today. Specially Warner who’s 37. Travis Head was the man today, to take that crucial wicket in the middle overs. Inglis played that beautifully, he looked in total control out there, especially against two quality spinners. Few of us have played in a final before, couple of other guys in a T20 World Cup final, the stadium is going to be packed, mostly going to be one-sided but it’s about embracing it. 2015 World Cup was a career-highlight, so to be playing another final in India, we are very happy as an unit, can’t wait.
Losing Captain :
Temba Bavuma : Cannot put it into words, first of all congratulations to Australia. Good luck to them in the final. They played really well today. Our character came through today. We showed a lot of resilience. The way we started with the bat and the ball was the telling point, that’s where we lost the game. The conditions combined with the quality of their attack, they really put us under pressure. You’re always going to struggle to put up a competitive total when you’re 24/4. We were gaining some momentum when Miller and Klaasen were out there but unfortunately he (Klaasen) couldn’t carry on a bit longer. Miller’s innings was superb, really highlights the character of the entire team, it was extraordinary to do that in such a pressure situation and in a World Cup semi-final. They got 70-odd in the first 10 and that really allowed the rest of the guys to settle. Markram and Maharaj were fantastic and they really put them under pressure. We had chances, tough chances that we put down, it could’ve been a bit close had we held on to them. As a young guy, he (Coetzee) really was the warrior for us, there wasn’t much happening for the seamers then but for him to come round the wicket and to take the wicket of Smith was incredible. He was cramping but he still wanted to keep bowling. Quinton would’ve probably wanted to end his career on a different note, despite the result I think he’ll remember his time. He’ll go down as one of the legends in South African cricket.
Player of the Match :
Travis Head : Hard to unpack all of that. Tense finish, amazing game. Didn’t move from the seat for the last part. We knew how it was going to play, we had three or four days here. We haven’t seen such spin, we knew we had to battle. I thought I wasn’t going to be here (after the hand injury), but I am happy to contribute for Australia, nice to be here. Straight as they came (Klaasen dismissal). He (Klaasen) smacked me, was under the pump, but it was nice to get his wicket. I was prepared to bowl a few overs, always keen to contribute with the ball. We have had that positive approach to keep the pace rolling. Disappointed for the way I got out, that (vs Maharaj) was a match-up against a left-arm spinner, but wasn’t to be. It’s an unbelievable attack, their bowlers look sharp and they (India) have been one of the best teams in the competition, never dreamed of playing a World Cup final against them.
With the news From the center that Australia won the second Semi Final with 3 wicket and they are into the finals now where they faced India. We will be back with latest news till then bye bye..

Winning Captain :
Rohit Sharma : I have played a lot of cricket here, you cannot relax. You got to get the job done as quickly as possible. We knew there’ll be pressure on us. We were calm even though we were a bit sloppy on the field. These things are bound to happen, glad that we could get the job done. When the scoring rate is above 9, you gotta take chances. They gave us chances, we didn’t take them., Mitchell and Williamson batted brilliantly. We had to stay calm. The crowd went silent, that’s the nature of the game. We knew we had to pull something from our sleeves. We tried everything and Shami was brilliant. The top five-six batters, they have made it count. Very pleased with what Iyer has done in this tournament. Gill, the way he batted upfront was brilliant, unfortunately he had to return back. Kohli, as usual, was brilliant, played his trademark innings and got to his landmark. All in all, the batting was superb. That’s the template we want to move with. England game, we got only 230 on the board. The way our bowlers bowled upfront, they picked wickets. Today, I wouldn’t say there was no pressure. Guys were doing the job. We wanted to do what we’ve been doing in the first nine games. Things came off really nice.
Losing Captain :
Kane Williamson : Firstly, congrats to India. They have played great cricket throughout. They played their best game today. They are a top side and played top cricket. Credit to the guys. Proud of the guys to stay in the fight. Disappointing to go out in the knock-out stages. The effort was there. India are a top-class side. The world class batters just came out and batted beautifully. They got to 400. Was tough as the ball was moving around. Credit to India, they outplayed us. Nice to be out there to give us a chance. Fantastic crowd. Slightly one-sided. Special to be here and glad to be hosted by India. As a team, there is real commitment to the cricket we wanted to play. Rachin and Mitchell were special. They played really well. Bowlers chipped in here and there. Lot of fight. Very proud. Ultimately it is moving forward as a team.
Player of the Match :
Mohd Shami : I was waiting for my turn. I wasn’t playing much white ball cricket. I had in mind, we talk about a lot of things like yorkers and slower balls. I tried to take wickets with the new ball. I try to take as many as I can with the new ball. I dropped the catch of Kane. I felt bad. I tried to take pace off. They were playing their shots. So, I took a chance. The wicket was good. There was the fear of dew. The grass was cut off nicely. The runs were enough. Had dew come in, things could have been bad. The slower balls might not have worked. I feel amazing. This is a huge platform. We lost in the semis in the 2015 and the 2019 WC. Looking to cash in with the chance I have been given. We don’t know when all of us will get a chance like this again.
Virat Kohli : (On his celebration after reaching the hundred) As I said stuff of dreams. Anushka was sitting right there, Sachin paaji was here too. Difficult to explain this. If I could paint a perfect picture I would want this to be the picture. My life partner, the person I love the most is sitting there, my hero is sitting there and I was able to get the 50th (ODI hundred) in front of all of them and all these stands in Wankhede as well, such a history venue so it was amazing. (Assessing the team’s innings) In a big game you are happy with anything over 330-340. To get close to 400 is amazing. Lot of credit has to go to Shreyas the way he came and batted freely.. Shubman and Rohit at the top, KL finishing with the flurry… I think everyone did their roles to perfection and did the job beautifully for the team.
Sachin Tendulkar : A big, big congratulations to Virat, he made it look easy, he’s gone to 50 hundreds in ODI format. Incredible, super, we are all super proud of him. I still remember the first day when he got into the Indian dressing room. The other players played prank on him and made him touch my feet saying that this is tradition, you have to touch his feet to take his blessings, that’s when you are going to have a good career. I was laughing away. Today to see the same player grow so beautifully and achieve so many laurels for our country, I am so proud.
With the news from the center of India won the match by 70 run and enter into the final with 10 th consecutive win. We will be back with latest updates till then bye bye…
*AUSTRALIA VS AFGHANISTAN
Australia in to the Semi Final : Maxi’s first 200, Fire works just ahead of Diwali
Here in Wankhede Stadium Mumbai, got to see a complete one man Army Show from Glenn Maxwell who hit his first 200 in ODI infact First Australian to hit double tonn. Afganistan won the toss and elected to bat first. Afganistan lose their first wicket on the score of 38 in 8th over. After that Ibrahim Zadran and Rahmat played really well and got 83 run partnership on second wicket stand. Ibrahim Zadran completed his century and remain unbeaten. he has scored 129 run from 143 balls. Afganistan managed to get 291 run with the help of Rashid khan’s short but explosive inning of 35 run from just 18 balls.
Australian Start was very poor with the bat and Travis head got out on the score of just 4 run in second there after Australian betters collapsed and at once the Ausis were 7 down on the score of just 91 run in 19th over. Then one man Army show has begun, Maxi played really a gem kind of inning. he just got fired up after Dropped out twice and some luck factor gone to him. he played all around the ground and completed his first double tonn, First ever australian to get this mile stone. He played really a Master Blaster inning of 201 run from just 128 balls and hit 21 four and 10 mighty sixes. Although he was suffring from severe back injury he has shown tremendous commitment. He is really a Warrior. A Partnership of 202 run was made between Glenn Maxwell and Pat cummins on 8th Wicket and it is also a record in ODI history. The share of Pat Commins was only 12 run in this Partnership. Oh my goodness What a Player he is. Glenn Maxwell chosen as Player of the Match.Now Australian team is the 3rd team to qualify for the Semi final.
Winning Captain :
Pat Cummins : Ridiculous. Don’t know how to describe it. Great win! It has got to be the greatest thing that has ever happened. One of those days people will say yeah, I was at the stadium for this game. He (Maxwell) was great, he was calm. He always had a plan. Even from 200 behind to be able to win the game that way, it was really special. (On whether Maxwell wanted to walk off) We had two NSW players lining up, Zampa was on and off three times, but Maxi wanted to stay out there. It is important to remember you can win from anywhere. Real belief in the team and we are in the semi-finals now, that’s great. (On what they could do better) Don’t think it is the time and the place, I’m going to pause that. I think the toss is a bit tricky out here, the first 20 overs are key. Obviously there are things we could have done better.
Losing Captain :
Hashmatullah Shahidi : Very disappointed. Cricket is a funny game, it was unbelievable for us. We were in the game, our bowlers started very well and the dropped chances hurt us. After that, Maxwell doesn’t stop, he played every kind of shot and I can give credit to him. I think the dropped catches were the key, after that Maxwell played really well. Our bowlers tried their best but he didn’t give any chance to us. Proud of the team, but we will be disappointed tonight. We didn’t think it would be this way, part of the game. This is cricket. We will try to come back strong against South Africa. He (Ibrahim Zadran) must be proud of himself, I am also proud that he is the first Afghan with a WC hundred.
Player of the Match :
Glenn Maxwell : It was hot while fielding today, I haven’t done a lot of exercise in the heat, it got a hold on me today. I wanted to stay back and get some movement (on my legs). Not too much (when asked about plans at 92/7), just stick to the batting plans as much as possible, for me, still be positive, still look to play my shots, that LBW, it was going just above (the stumps), probably that made me be more proactive. A hint of swing and nip (off the surface), as it happens here under lights, they bowled beautifully to exploit that. It would have been nice if it was a chanceless knock, but I had my chances, to make the most of it tonight was something I can be proud of. Amazing, after the first two games, people were quick to write us off. The belief was always there (as a team), after today, it would have gone a bit higher.
With the news of Australian win and equalifies to Semi final from the center we will be back to you with latest updates till then bye bye..
*INDIA VS SOUTH AFRICA
Indian Tigers are Roaring Continuously : Beat South Africa by 243 run
Here in Eden Gardens Kolkata India registered yet another big victory by 243 run against South Africa. India won the toss and elected to bat first. Indian openers exploded and made a partnership of 62 in just 6 over. Rohit Sharma got out after short but very explosive inning of 40 run in just 24 balls. Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer made gem of partnership of 134 run on 3rd wicket stand. Virat Kohli completed his 49th century and equals the record of Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. Obviously its King Kohli’s Birthday bass from his bat. India managed to get a decent total of 326 run.
Indian bowlers came wih another Storm and Mohd Siraj got first Wicket in just second over on the score of just 6 run. Then Ravindra Jadeja, mohd Shami and Kuldeep Yadav each one came with their best Performance. Ravindra Jadeja got his 5 wicket as a whole. Mohd Shami and Kuldeep Yadav took 2 wicket each. South Africa just Surrender in front of Indian bowling Attack and got all out on just 83 run in just 27.1 over. Marco Jansen was the top scorer from South African side.
Indian Team Registered 8th consecutive win in ICC ODI World Cup 2023 and Remain Top performer in Point Table with 16 Point. Congratulation to Team India Specially to Birthday Boy Virat Kohli for the Victory and his 49th Record equilizer Century and A very Happy Birthday to him.
Winning Captain :
Rohit Sharma: If you look at how we have played in the last three games, we have adapted better. We were put under pressure against England. But we got a decent score and then the seamers did the job. We lost a wicket in the first over. Then got runs and then the seamers did well. We needed Kohli to go out there and play the situation. We then knew we had to keep it in the right areas and let the pitch do the rest. Even if the faith hadn’t been repaid, I would have still stuck to them. We need to keep the trust. It can’t be done everyday. For Shami to comeback the way he has, shows the mindset. The last two games has shown what Iyer is capable of. Gill and myself have been batting together for a majority of time now. We let the instincts take over. We don’t preplan anything. We just assess and play accordingly. Jadeja has been very good for us. Playing in every format over the years. Today was a classical case as to what Jadeja is for us. Came out at the death and scored vital runs. Then picked up wickets. He knows his role and knows what the expects from him. Not to get too ahead of ourselves has been the talk in the dressing room. Couple of big games coming up. We don’t want to change anything.
Losing Captain :
Temba Bavuma : We know it’s a challenge. We have lost chasing. We had had our conversations with our batters. They got 90 in the first 10 overs. We did well after that. Curbed down the run-rate. Sharma kind of set it up. Kohli and Iyer had a good partnership. The wicket played the way we suspected it well. We were not able to adapt unfortunately. Potentially, we might play again here in the semis.
Player of the Match :
Virat Kohli : It was a big game, probably playing the toughest team in the tournament. There was a motivation to do well. Because it happened on my birthday, it becomes special and the people made it more special for me. I did wake up with that excitement that today is not just another game. People from the outside look at the game in a bit of a different way. When the openers start well, it feels it is a belter and everyone has to play that way. But as the ball got older, the conditions slowed down drastically. The message was clear, keep batting around me. I was happy from that perspective. Once we got more than 315, we knew that we were above par. I’m enjoying myself, playing cricket all over again, that is more important to me than phases. I’m just happy that God has blessed me with that enjoyment. I’m just happy that I’m being able to do what I have done over all these years. (On Sachin’s message) It is all too much for me to take in now, to equal my hero’s record is something special for me. He is perfection when it comes to batting. It’s a very emotional moment for me. I know where I come from, I know the days I have watched him on TV. Just to get that appreciation from him means a lot to me.
With the news of Indian continuous 8th win in ICC ODI World Cup 2023 from the center we will be back with Latest news till then bye bye….
*Pakistan vs New Zealand
Pakistan’s hope still alive with blaster from Fakhar Zaman
Here in Bengluru M. Chinnaswamy Stadium Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. New Zealand started well with 68 run opening Stand between Conway and Rachin Ravindra in just 11 over then Convay got out. Rachin Ravindra and Kane Willamson Played really well for 180 run Partnership for Second wicket Stand. Rachin Ravindra Played gem of an inning of 108 run in just 94 balls. Williamson also played an inning of 95 run. With the help of some good betting performence New Zealand managed to get a decent total of 401 run.
Pakistan Starts was not good with bat and Abdullah Shafique got out on the last ball of second over on the score of just 6 run. Then an Unbeaten Partnership of 194 run came between Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam. Fakhar Zaman came with differnt intent today and played an sensational inning of 126 run just 81 balls and hit 11 sixes in that blaster of an inning. Pakistan were 200 for 1 in just 25.3 over when play has been called off. Pakistan were 21 run ahead of New Zealand as per DLS Method. Fakhar Zaman awarded as Player of the Match for his great inning. Congratulations to Pakistan for victory in must win match.
Winnin Captain:
Babar Azam : When we came to the dressing room, just passed message we need good partnerships. Said to Fakhar if he plays 15 overs we’ll be ahead. Back of the mind we knew rain was coming. Full credit to Fakhar. We knew there was a short boundary and utilised it. We’re just trying to give 100 percent. You never know. We’re just going match by match.
Losing Captain :
Kane Williamson : Obviously a nice first half. Weather played its part but can’t take away from Pakistan. Zaman – the ground wasn’t big enough for him. They played exceptionally well and gave themselves every chance. Match getting shortened brings both teams closer together. Would’ve been nice to have the full 50. Was tricky to protect the shorter side. Full credit, they deserved the result today. I thought the contributions throughout were great. Clearly a very good surface. Can be tough on the bowlers sometimes. Rachin is batting absolutely beautifully. There’s always small margins with the ball. If you get a wicket or two, you can take the short side out of it with the left-right combo. But we couldn’t do that.
Player of the Match :
Fakhar Zaman : We were chasing 400 and that was our plan, just to see off the first 4 overs and thankfully it was my day. To be honest, I was lucky a few times but really enjoyed this innings. We know every game is a do or die for us and we have decided to play aggressively and we are playing with that mind so everybody is just trying to score runs. This is one of the best (knocks in ODI cricket) but I will always rank my 193 in South Africa highly, but I really enjoyed this game and New Zealand are a great side, so definitely one of the best. We were also praying that we don’t want any more game to happen (while waiting anxiously in the dressing room during the rain break) because it was already 9 and half hours and we knew that DLS would come into the equation. We wanted to play with that aggressive mindset and we will play aggressively in the next game also.
With the news from the center that Pakistan played really well for its well Deserve victory. We will be back soon with latest updates till then bye bye…..
*India vs srilanka *
Oh my goodness ! India Crushed Srilanka win by 302 run
Here in wankhede stadium Mumbai, India made history today and won the match by huge 302 run. Sri Lanka won the toss and elected to bowl first.

Mohd Shami Awarded as Player of the match for his 5 Wicket on the cost of just 18 run.
Wining Captain :
Rohit Sharma : Very happy knowing that we have officially qualified now. Been a good effort from the squad, when we started off in Chennai. This was our goal, to qualify first and then obviously to be in the semis and the finals. The way we approached these 7 games, it was quite clinical. Everyone put in the effort and a lot of individuals have put their hand up. Was a good challenge to put runs on the board, and that’s the kind of template you gotta have when you want to score that many runs. 350 on any pitch is a very good score and a lot of credit to the batting unit for taking us to that score and the bowlers did the job obviously. Shreyas is a very strong (in his mind) lad and today, as you saw, he went there and did what he is exactly known for and that is what we expect from him. Showed that he is ready to take the challenge that is in front of him and Siraj is another quality bowler for us and if he does that (making the new ball talk) things look different for us. He (Siraj) has got a lot of skills when he is operating with the new ball. Even Surya, for that matter, got us some crucial runs in the back end of the last game. To put in a performance back-to-back against England and now today, shows the quality of the seamers and if there is something in the conditions, they are quite lethal. All in all, it was pleasing to watch (bowlers dominating proceedings) and I hope they continue to do it that way. I have left it to the bowler and the keeper (whether or not to take a review) to make that decision for me, and I gotta find the individuals I can trust and I know it can go the other way as well. We got one right and one wrong today. They (South Africa) are playing some good cricket, and so are we. It’s gonna be a great spectacle for the people out there and people of Kolkata are gonna enjoy that game.
Losing Captain :
Kusal Mendis : I am very disappointed with the team’s performance, with myself also. They bowled really well, little bit of seam movement under lights as well. Unfortunately, we lost the match. I wanted to bowl first because I felt the wicket would be slow in the first half. Madushanka bowled really well and we missed taking chances from Virat and Gill and sometimes those moments could change the game. Our bowlers did well in the middle overs. They bowled really well in the first 6 overs, and I think they deserve all the credit tonight. We have another 2 games and I hope we come back strong in the next game.
Player of the Match :
Mohammed Shami : Our bowling is in good shape and with the kind of rhythm (talking about the form of the pacers) that we are in, everyone is enjoying and everyone is happy for each other’s success and more importantly, we are bowling as a unit and that’s the result you are getting to see. I always try to bowl in good areas and be in good rhythm. In big tournaments, once the rhythm goes away, it’s very tough to get it back. I always focus on hitting the good areas and length. Very happy (on becoming India’s leading wicket-taker in World Cups) It’s very important to be in rhythm in white ball cricket and hit the good areas. If you hit the good areas with the new ball you will get assistance off the pitch and for me length matters a lot. The kind of support we get from the crowd, I want to thank each and every one of them. We also get a lot of support whenever we travel outside India as well. The dressing room is in a very good space.

Today here in Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium Lucknow England won the toss and elected to bowl First. England Starts really well with the ball and picked Shubhman Gill’s wicket in 4th over on just 26 and then back to back wicket of Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer and india was on trouble with the score of 40 for 3 in 12 overs. Rohit Sharma and K L Rahul then played really well on slow track and put a partnership of 91 run. Rohit Sharma Played an gem of an inning of 87 run. Surya Kumar Yadav Played absolutly stunning inning of 49 run. India managed to get 229 run in 50 overs.
Indian bawlers Starts with 2 consecutive wickets in 5th over when Jaspreet Bumrah sent Dawid Malan and Joe Root to the pavilion.

Jaspreet Bumrah took 3 wicket where as Mohd Shami got 4. Congratulation to Indian team for 6-0 and Maintain first position in Point Table.
Winning Captain and Player of the Match :
Rohit Sharma: Looking at where we were after the first 10 overs it was really important to create that partnership with KL Rahul. It was a challenging pitch, it got better to bat on as the game progressed, but happy with that win. I have got experience, it’s not only about going out there and playing my shots (got to assess the conditions and situation) as well. It was necessary for me to create that partnership with KL. I still felt we were 20 runs short (at the halfway stage). Batting against the new ball was a bit challenging, the ball got softer and it wasn’t easy rotating strike either. Like I said we were 15-20 runs short, but I will take that win any day..
Losing Captain :
Jos Buttler: Very disappointed. At the halfway stage, chasing 230, we fancied ourselves, same old story. I wasn’t sure if dew would come or not. We bowled well, took wickets, we would have taken 229. Personally, I wanted to soak some pressure up and then build a partnership and kill the momentum that India had. It’s about committing and executing your skill. There wasn’t scoreboard pressure. We are just falling short whichever way we are doing it. Some top players, we are a long way short of our best. Excellent start in the powerplay, there was a bit of indifferent bounce, the ground fielding was good. It felt like today was the day, but we didn’t back it up with the bat.

*Shoking for Pakistan : Afganistan did it another in ICC ODI 2023*
Shoking for Pakistan : Afganistan did it another in ICC ODI 2023
Today here in chennei Afganistan made another history in world cricket and collapsed pakistan in ICC ODI world cup 2023 and beat Pakistan by 8 wicket. Pakistan won the toss and elected to bat first and starts well with Shafique and Imam ul haq and build a partnership of 56 run and then again 54 run stand between Babar and Shafique. Pakistan managed to get a decent total of 282 run. Babar Azam played a stunning knock of 74 run later in the end Iftikhar Ahamad played an explosive inning of 40 run from just 27 balls and helped pakistan to get 282 run. Afganistan played magically well and their openers build a strong partnership of 130 run from just 21.1 overs. Rahmanullah Gsurbaz played an flurious and explosive inning of 65 run from just 53 balls and then each and every player made their valuable contribution in this brillient victory of Afganistan. Ibrahim Zadran Played a stunning inning of 87 run from 113 balls. Rahamat shah played another gem of an inning of 77 run from 84 balls and remain unbeaten. Captain Hashmatullah Shahidi also played a good knock of 48 run unbeaten. This is the first win of Afganistan Against Pakistan in ODI format after 7 consecutive loses. what a performance Afganistan did today, its really really well. Congratulations to the entire team and Supporting staff for the stunning victory.
Losing Captain :
Babar Azam: This hurts us. We had a good total. In the bowling, we weren’t up to the mark as we are not taking wickets in the middle overs. If you are not good in even one department, then you’ll lose the game. We didn’t stop boundaries and gave away runs, that cost us. Bowling – we started well, in the middle overs, we needed wickets but we couldn’t take any. All credit to Afghanistan the way they played in all three departments. That’s why they won. We are not playing good cricket in bowling and fielding. We’ll try our best in the next match. We didn’t hit the lengths in the middle overs, especially our spinners. We couldn’t put pressure on the batters.
Winning Captain :
Hashmatullah Shahidi: This win tastes nice. The way we chased was very professional. Looking forward for the other games. The way we chased today, we’ll do it again. We have been playing quality cricket, the belief was there when we played the Asia Cup as well. First was England, today Pakistan, looking forward to the other games. We’ll try to play positive cricket and do a lot for out country. The spin bowling deprogramming was very good. Noor showed his talent. Gurbaz and Ibrahim gave the momentum and confidence. The game was in our hand from the beginning till the end.
Player of the Match :
Ibrahim Zadran : I wanted to go out there with a positive mind and positive intent, and I did it. We (Gurbaz and himself) have played a lot of cricket with each other, we have good communication while running between the wickets as we have been playing together since under-16 days. The way Gurbaz supported me (in that opening partnershijp) – that helped me and we got the momentum in our favour. I am feeling great for myself and my country.
Mohammad Nabi: Big moment for the whole team, the whole of Afghanistan. We’ve been waiting for 10-12 years for such a moment and to win one game in the big event against Pakistan. Last 3 months we worked very hard, this is a lovely moment today. We beat England and now Pakistan, everyone is in a good mood. We can not only defend, but also chase well now. This win is the favorite, we have played them 7-8 games against them and in the last moment we have always lost. The way Ibrahim and Gurbaz started, that gave us the momentum. We didn’t lose back to back wickets till the end. We thought the surface would be like the NZ game, but it was much easier. I think our bowlers did very well to restrict them to that kind of total. The plan was to play Noor in this game, and he bowled brilliantly, in the right areas. This win is a long time coming, we played for the first time in 2012, then Asia Cup and 2019 World Cup. Lots of close games against Pakistan. We shouldn’t have lost the first game against Bangladesh, but now we’re halfway gone and we have 4 points on the table. Now we will go hard against Sri Lanka. We loved the support we received today, hopefully we’ll get that support in Pune as well.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz: They always beat us, this is the first time we’ve defeated them, thank you so much’, says the opener to the crowd as Afghanistan stroll across the ground for a lap of honour. All Afganistanis are amusing and waving in happy mood. With the news of Afganistan win we are leaving now, we will come back soon from another day from festival of ICC ODI world cup till then bye bye….

Winning Captain:
Rohit Sharma : Good start to the tournament. Job is half done. Important to stay balanced. Not to think too far ahead. Important to stay in the present. Shami took the oppurtunity with both hands. He has the experience in these conditions and is a class bowler. At one stage, we were looking at 300 plus. Credit to our bowlers at the back end. I am enjoying my batting. Both are different personalities but we (Him and Gill) compliment each other. Happy that we won. Nothing much to say. He (Kohli) has done this for us so many years. He backed himself to do the job. Kohli and Jadeja pulled us back when we lost a few wickets in the middle. The fielding is something we pride ourselves on. Today the fielding wasn’t clinical. Ravindra Jadeja is one of the best fielders in the world. These things happen. We know that fielding is something that will decide a lot of things going forward. We love travelling and playing in different parts of the game.
Losing Captain:
Tom Latham : We played reasonably well. We didn’t quite capitalize in the last 10. We left a little outthere. But credit to India. We weren’t able to get the double breakthrough with the ball. Rachin and Mitchell had a fantastic partnership to set us up for the last 10. We have a perfect group. We want to be in those positions. Rachin with the bat, Daryl with the 100. The bowlers did well. He played a fantastic innings. He controlled the tempo for them for others to bat around him. Just try to be proactive and focus on the matchups a little. Another good innings from him. We have a few days off. We have a day game here. We want to do good stuffs.
Player of the Match:
Mohammed Shami : Got a lot of confidence after taking a wicket on the first ball. If your team mates are doing well, you should support them, it’s important that the team performs well, I understand that. It was important to pick those late wickets, you always want your team to be the top side. Very happy that I got those wickets and India is on top of the table..

Winning Captain :
Rohit Sharma – It was a good win, something we were looking forward to. We did n’t start well, but the guys pulled it back in the middle-overs and at the back-end. Our fielding has b e en superb in all these matches, it’s something that’s in your control, you can put in your best effort. The bowlers were smart to understand what lengths to bowl. Jaddu was brilliant with the ball and the catch, but you can’t beat a hundred. We’re doing well as a group, a medal for all performances in the playing field and that’s something which motivates everyone to do well (speaking about dressing room awards). He (Hardik) pulled up a bit sore, nothing really major to worry. We’ll see how he pulls up tomorrow morning and then plan on how to go forward. Everyone in the squad has gone through pressure, the crowd is coming in big numbers, the stands are full, they haven’t disappointed us, they’ve been brilliant and I’m sure they’ll be louder and louder as we move on.
Bangladesh Captain:
Najmul Shanto –
India are always a very good side, a very capable team and they showed it today. All teams are good, but I think we didn’t play our best cricket, hopefully, we’ll play better in the future. He’s going on well (on Shakib), should be fit for the next match. Tanzid batted well, so did our bowlers, the problem is we didn’t finish well with the bat. Would have been a different ball-game had Litton stayed a bit longer, the batting group has to take up responsibility.
Player of the Match:
Virat Kohli :
Sorry for stealing it (PoTM award) from Jaddu, I wanted to make a big contribution. I have had a few fifties in World Cups, haven’t really converted them. I just wanted to finish the game off this time around and hang on till the end which is what I have done over the years for the team. I was telling Shubman, even if you dream about a situation like that, you’ll just go back to sleep, you won’t think it’s real. It was a dream start for me, first four balls, two free-hits, a six and a four. Just calms you down gets you into the innings. The pitch was pretty good and it allowed me to play my game – just time the ball, hit the gaps, run hard and get the boundaries whenever needed. There’s a great atmosphere in the change room, we are loving each others’ company, the spirit is there for everyone to see on the field. That’s why it’s translating like that on the field. We understand it’s a long tournament, you need to create some momentum in the change room for the guys to come out and play like this. It’s a special feeling playing at home, playing in front of all these people, we just want to make the most of it.

Netherlands played really well and deserve the win they got.
Netherlands captain:
Scott Edwards : Extremely proud. We came in with high expectations. We had very good players. Happy to get the first win out of the way. Hopefully, few more wins. We do a fair bit of research. We come up with a few matchups. Some days it works and some days it doesn’t. We were in decent positions in the first few games but then fell away. I am sure there will be plenty of fans staying up and watching this. Extremely happy with the win.
South Africa captain:
Temba Bavuma : I think we had them at 112 for 6. We shouldn’t have allowed them to go past 200. We dropped the ball there. Still we were confident with the chase. But they were able to extract some deficiencies in our batting department. We were clinical against Australia. We could have controlled the extras. The fielding wasn’t up to the standard. Not the same standard we had against Australia. We need to have some conversations with the boys. You got to let the emotion to seep in. It will hurt. Our campaign is not over by any stretch of the imagination. That was a proper display from them. They put us under pressure throughout. Good luck to them.
Player of the match :
Scott Edwards : Over the last couple of games too many of our middle order batters were being out before the end of the game, so I wanted to take it deep and hope a couple of guys around me chip in and we are lucky enough to get that score in the end. He’s (Roelof van der Merwe) good fun to bat with, he runs hard and hits into some strange areas which is good fun to watch from the other end. I just got him (Aryan Dutt) on strike and he was clearing the ropes, he’s got the talent and it’s all there to see tonight. Proud of the group. We came into the tournament where we wanted to have a chance in the semi-finals and if you wanna do that you gotta beat teams and South Africa are one of the favourites the way they are playing, so it is a good win for us. With the News of Netherlands won today and made another History in worldcup 2023. Congratulations to them on stunning win.

Defending Champion Collapsed : Afganistan beats England
Afganistan beats defending champion Englend by 69 run here in Delhi. Most heating moment in 2023 world cup happened today with the victory of Afgans. England won the toss and elected to field first.Afganistan starts well and build an opening stand of 114 run between Gurbaj and Ibrahim zardan.Gurbaz played an explosive inning of 80 run in just 57 ball with strike rate of 140.35 that took them to a decent total of 284 run.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Rashid Khan takes 3 wicket each. Mujeeb Ur Rahman selected as Player of the Match for his outstanding bowling performance. Congratulation to Afganistan team as they ended their 14 – match losing streak in ODI world cup.
Player of the Match :
Mujeeb Ur Rahman : Very proud moment to be here in the World Cup and beating the champions. It’s a great achievement for the whole team, we worked hard for this day. We beat such a big team. It was a wonderful performance from the bowlers and the batters. As a spinner, it’s pretty hard to bowl in the powerplay, you have only two fielders outside. That’s something I’ve been working in the nets. Bowling with the new ball and trying to be as consistent as possible. That’s something which has made me more effective. I am always trying to bowl stump to stump and keep it simple. We knew that the dew was going to come and play a part in the latter part. That’s why I was telling the captain to bowl me in the powerplay. We were mentally prepared. (On his batting) It’s all about the management, the players. They give me confidence in the nets. He has always been with me in the nets, my partner. He wants to hit each and every ball, that’s the area I want to contribute as well. Those 20-25 runs means a lot for the team. This trophy is for the people back home who are affected by the earthquake in Herat. This whole win is for them.
Winning Captain:
Hashmatullah Shahidi : I’m quite happy, all the teammates are happy. This is the best win for us, the confidence will be there for the next game and I’m very proud. The openers get a lot of credit. They gave us a great start but unfortunately we lost back to back wickets in the middle again, lot of credit to the openers though, especially Gurbaz. Ikram was with us for the last 2 years and didn’t get a lot of chances, today I believed in him and gave him a chance and he repaid my faith. Mujeeb batted brilliantly, he led from the front and scored important runs for us. We have to score runs, our batting lineup needs to score more for our spinners. We have a lot of confidence about our spinners. Fazal started very well, the first wicket gave us a lot of momentum. When I was batting, I realized the wicket wasn’t supportive for batters against spinners. I told the boys that 280-290 will be enough when I got back into the dressing room. I want to say that the belief, trust and talent is there. Last couple of games we didn’t finish well but the belief is there. This is just the first win, we are looking for more in the tournament. This was just the first one, not the last one.
Losing Captain:
Joss Buttler : Disappointing to win the toss and concede that many, me missing that first ball down the leg side set the tone. Credit to Afghanistan, they outplayed us today. It came down to execution, we weren’t quite at the level we’d like to be with both bat and ball. They have some fantastic bowlers, the dew didn’t come in as much as we expected, the ball held up a bit too. They bowled dead straight and kept the stumps in play, we just weren’t quite good enough. You got to let these defeats hurt, there’s no point in getting over things too quickly, we need to reflect. There’s a lot of character in this group, we need to show a lot of resilience and come back stronger. We need to have guys being able to perform under pressure and that’s what all of us will be working hard towards.
Thanks for Tuning with Us.
*India Sealed yet another victory against Pakistan and retained the World cup win record against Pakistan :
Ahemdabad: india retained its winning record as sealed victory against its rival Pakistan. It was the 8th
consecutive world cup win against Pakistan. with this spectacular one sided win with 7 wicket and 19.3
over left, India now equal the record of Pakistan’s 8 consecutive win against Sri Lanka.
Match Summury:
Today India won the toss and elected to bowl first at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahemdabad. Pakistan Start
things of with good partnership of 41 ( shafique and imam). there was a time when Pakistan looks good
with 155-2 in 29.3. After hitting 50 Babar Azam bowled by Mohd Siraz and it was probably the turning
point of the match. After that Rohit uses his bowler with extremly talented manner. Kuldeep Yadav and
Juspreet Bumrah both took 2 wicket each in just 3 over and collapse Pakistan and restricted them on
191.
Indian Better got explosive starts and completed 50 run in just 6 over and completed 100 in just 14 over
and loss only 2 wicket. Rohit completed his 50 in just 36 balls and scored 86 in just 69 balls and 6 long
sixes. he cross the 300 mark of hitting sixes in ODI’s. Shreyas iyer also hit 50 and played an inning of 53
run from 62 balls and sealed victory with a fantastic four along the ground in front of sight screen.
Juspreet Bumrah won the title of player of the match as he took 2 most important wicket in crucial time
and consumed only 19 run in 7 overs.
Player of the Match:
Juspreet Bumrah : It felt good. Usually you try to analyse the wicket as soon as possible. We realised
the wicket is on the slower side so we wanted to bowl hard lengths. We were trying to make it as difficult
as possible. (On how he reads pitches quickly and understands what lengths work) Just being aware I
guess. I used to ask a lot of questions when I was young and that helps me now. Now I’m experienced.
In my younger days they (seniors) were used to being troubled by me sometimes (with questions), but it
helps to read the wicket and try different options. (On the slower ball to get rid of Rizwan) We were
bowling in the middle overs and I saw Jaddu’s ball was turning, not too much but a little bit. I count my
slower ball as a spinner’s slower ball, one of those days where it came off. (On the ball that got Shadab)
Little phase where there was reverse swing, one of the occasions when the white ball was reverse
swinging.
Indian Captain :
Rohit Sharma: The bowlers were the ones today as well who set the game up for us. I don’t think it was
a 190 pitch. At one stage we were looking at 280. The way they showed grit says a lot. That is something
we pride ourselves in. Whoever gets the ball does the job. We’ve got 6 individuals who can do the job
with the ball. My job as a captain is important there as well. It’s to read the conditions and figure out
who’s the right guy to do the job. It’s only because the guys – before entering the WC – they got a lot of
runs. We were very clear what we wanted to do. Didn’t want to be in two minds about who’s going to bat
where. All in all, it’s looking good. Want to keep my fingers crossed. Don’t want to get too excited. Don’t
want to get too low as well. Want to stay balanced. Keep calm and keep moving forward. Every
opposition we come up against are all quality. You have to play well on that particular day, and that’s
what we’re looking at.
Pakistani Captain :
Babar Azam : We started well. Good partnership between me and Imam. We wanted to play normal
cricket (me and Rizwan). Suddenly we had a collapse and didn’t finish well. The way we started, wanted
to target 280-290. With the new ball we are not upto the mark. The way Rohit is playing – he played an
outstanding innings.
Interesting Facts :
– Sachin Tendulkar Holds most Man of the match (3) against Pakistan in World cup.
-Rohit HIts Most sixes in Powerplay against Pakistan.
-It is 8th consecutive win of team India against Pakistan in World Cup.
-India wins all 8 game with a big Margin.
