ODI cricket and general cricketing discussion [self - mod]

[Popkon6]

There is a lot of competition going on between the two teams, South Africa has lost 2 wickets in the power play at the moment. If South Africa wants to win, they will have to perform for a long time while defending the only wicket, if wickets keep falling as fast as England, then South Africa will be under a lot of pressure in the end.
If Van der Dussen and Klaasen can perform well, then South Africa will be able to win very quickly. So this partnership must last for a long time, it will play a significant role in South Africa's victory, but I think it is better for England to lose this match because their match today is only a competitive match.

South Africa need only 110 runs to score after losing only two wickets. England will not be able to beat South Africa in today's match because England were all out for just 180 runs, which will not be difficult for South Africa to score 180 runs. Moreover, if England had defeated South Africa by 207 runs in today's match, then South Africa might not have qualified for the semi-finals, but unfortunately, England were all out for 180 runs.

If South Africa is now all out and defeated, it is not possible to prevent South Africa from qualifying. However, it is certain that South Africa will definitely win today's match.

Yes, South Africa outclassed England today and unfortunately England will be the only team who did not won any matches in the tournament and lost all three matches played. The target of 179 runs wasn't going to be enough. South Africa batsmen were aggressive right from the start and rightly so as there was no pressure on them and they have the license to go for a kill. Rassie van der Dussen and Heinrich Klaasen are making a decent partnership and they only need now 79 runs with plenty of wickets and overs in hand.

It's not without a comment, especially since the situation in England's cricket is so bad that they haven't been able to win a single match in the Champions Trophy. Why is England in such a bad state despite having a good combination of batting and bowling?

They scored good runs against Australia where they gave Australia a target of 352 runs, they also lost very competitively against Afghanistan but today they were all out for just 179 runs against South Africa. So whatever may be said, English cricket is going through a very bad time at the moment.

England vs South Africa, Group B at Karachi, Champions Trophy

Today, I enjoyed the match much more. For my enjoyment, to see the competition of England's player back to pavilion or dreeing room for rest. I think they are fall a redom of big score 1st one was 351 runs, 2nd one 317 runs and last one that means today's match they are all out with play with South Africa. It's a shame for British players. In today's match, they only collected 179 from losing all the wickets, and they only played 38 overs. The very opening over Phil Salt's out destory the heart of England. Although the team has all top order batsmen, the same things reapted Jamie Smith at 3rd overs.

I guess that England match with the Australian broke their hearts and they were never able to recover after that. A team scoring 350+ runs would expect to win but when they lose that match, then it was heart breaking for them. There was no motivation for today's match and therefore they lost it badly. They knew that even if they win, it won't affect their position in the tournament, so that proved to be another negative thing for England today's performance.

It was all South Africa dominance in today's match. Rassie van der Dussen made 72 runs and was the top scorer. Heinrich Klaasen made 64 runs. Too strong batting by the SA.

South Africa team defeated England very easily today, South Africa team's batting and bowling performance was amazing today. But England team played with disappointment in today's match due to which they were all out for just 179 runs. England was very weak in batting in this match. By winning today's match by a huge margin of 7 wickets, South Africa team has taken the top position in the points table and they have qualified for the semi-finals. South Africa team's batting performance has been amazing and they have also been great in bowling, so they have been able to qualify for the Champions Trophy, if they perform like that, it is definitely possible to go to the final.

The South African team has performed well in terms of batting and bowling. Although South Africa could not win the Tri-series in Pakistan, their game was consistent. Moreover, the team has performed very well in the Champions Trophy. Every player has done their job well because of which they have won the matches. I expected a big competition in today's match but the England team has completely lost from that place. No player of the England team could score a half-century in the entire innings. The only player who was able to score the highest 37 runs was Root. In other words, the kind of competition that the general fans expected in the match did not happen. Because of which the African team got a easy win.

I had expected Australia and England to qualify for the semi-finals from Group B. Because South Africa was not in good form. In the last few series I have seen inconsistent performances from South Africa players. But now South Africa is at the top of the Group B table. Australia has shared points in 2 matches. If two matches were not drawn, Australia would have won all three matches and been at the top of the table.

I am very disappointed with England's performance. An experienced and renowned team like England has lost all three matches. The team has also failed to win against Afghanistan. England has weaknesses in both batting and bowling.

England could only score 179 runs against South Africa today. Winning such a small target is impossible. South Africa reached the target of victory in 29.1 overs. Marco Janes and Wiaan Mulder took three wickets each today.

[WatChe]

It was all South Africa dominance in today's match. Rassie van der Dussen made 72 runs and was the top scorer. Heinrich Klaasen made 64 runs. Too strong batting by the SA.

The job is not over for South Africa, they have entered in a phase where they have been knocked out so many times in the past. South Africa hasn't played any final of ICC event till date and tomorrow match result will decide who will be playing with south Africa in the Semi finals. The story is same for New Zealand and South Africa, they do all the hard work but lose in final stages of the tournament. It's another opportunity for South Africa to break the tag of being chokers in major ICC tournaments. It will be interesting to see whether they finally lift an ICC trophy or they have to wait more.

A draw against Australia made Afghanistan's qualification to the semi-finals somewhat uncertain, but some equations would have given Afghanistan a place in the semi-finals. 

For example, in the match between South Africa and England, if England could defeat South Africa by a big margin of 207 runs, Afghanistan would have a chance to play in the semi-finals, but South Africa did not give England such a chance. South Africa managed to keep England below 200 in the first innings and chase down that target to secure an easy win with just three wickets to spare. Now South Africa have secured the Champions Trophy next round by becoming the group champions. 

As New Zealand is the top team in Group A, New Zealand will play against Australia while South Africa will play against India. Hopefully the semi-final matches will be really great and two worthy teams will qualify for the finals.

South Africa outstanding performance in his last group stage match winning by huge seven wickets victory over England. England disappear performance throughout the champion trophy lost all three matches, while South Africa performance is very impressive. In this match South Africa chase down a low total 191 runs in a loss of just three wickets and chase down the target in 30th over of the match. The man of the match award to Marco Jansen for his amazing bowling performance picking three important wickets by just giving only 39 runs in his spell and assisted south to restricted england team under 190 runs. South Africa moved to numbers first position in point table of group and they are hot favorite to win champion trophy title.

[Compromise me]

England Vs South Africa, The 11th match of the Champions Trophy is being played between South Africa and England, where England won the toss and elected to bat. England lost wickets early on and they fell two wickets for 18 runs, which is why it is already clear that England will not be able to score good runs in today's match. Although England is targeting a big win in today's match, there are doubts about whether England will be able to win today given the playing conditions of the match.

Already England team has lost two wickets, if England team loses wickets like this, it will lose with South Africa team. Although England team is already out of this tournament, today's match is participation for England team. But today's match for South Africa team is the most challenging, because the survival of South Africa team depends on this match.
 South Africa team's bowling performance is very good, England team has scored 37 runs by losing two wickets in 6 overs. However, I think South Africa team will have enough chances to win in today's match.

South Africa played very well and they won the match by 7 wickets . That was very interesting match and that was low score match . South Africa players played very well in today match and they chased the target in just 29 overs which is very early. W. Mulder was awarded as player of the match because he took 3 wickets in this match and he was a match changer. M. Jansen also played very well he took 3 wickets by giving 39 run in 7 overs. That was low score match and England cricket team could not make handsome target.

South Africa outstanding performance in his last group stage match winning by huge seven wickets victory over England. England disappear performance throughout the champion trophy lost all three matches, while South Africa performance is very impressive. In this match South Africa chase down a low total 191 runs in a loss of just three wickets and chase down the target in 30th over of the match. The man of the match award to Marco Jansen for his amazing bowling performance picking three important wickets by just giving only 39 runs in his spell and assisted south to restricted england team under 190 runs. South Africa moved to numbers first position in point table of group and they are hot favorite to win champion trophy title.

South Africa's chances of winning the title depend on tomorrow's India vs New Zealand match. South Africa will definitely not want to face India in the semi-finals. Because India is a very strong team at the moment, especially in Asian conditions and on the ground in Dubai. Beating India on the ground in Dubai is one of the most difficult tasks. Tomorrow's match will determine the chances of each team winning. If India wins the match tomorrow, then South Africa may have a higher chance of going to the final. In this case, who the second team will be is completely uncertain. Because if India vs Australia face each other in the semi-finals, no one will dare to predict.

Every team that qualified for the semi-finals is very strong. I don't know why you consider New Zealand as weak compared to India. New Zealand is very strong. We have seen New Zealand play well in both the matches. So whether South Africa faces India or New Zealand in the semi-finals, it is going to be very difficult for South Africa to win.

However, South Africa played very well against England in today's match. South Africa's bowlers bowled very well. So England could only manage 179 runs. On the other hand, South Africa easily reached the target of victory with the help of Rassie van der Dussen's unbeaten 72 runs and Heinrich Klaaseen's 64 runs.

[ZAINmalik75]

Result of match between South Africa and England is very important for Afghanistan chances of moving forward. Although Afghanistan got one point what happens to them now depends a lot on  result of this match. If South Africa wins it will help their own chances of making it to semi finals and this will not be good for Afghanistan because South Africa win out them from the Championship Trophy. But if England wins with a big margin so this can help Afghanistan to go in semi final but chances are very low because there is a big difference of Net Run Rate Between Afghanistan and South Africa. Ao in my point of view there is 90% chances that South Africa will qualify for the Semifinals.

As expected england lose and honestly before thier match results england body language were already indicating thier defeat, now officially south Africa and Australian were qualify from thier group to semifinals. Now I believe may be new Zealand beat India in thier last group stage match because the  momentum they got by beating top team several times were make them superior. So after that huge chances of Australian to face indian team in semifinals which will be as expected high voltage game because once again head back in form. While on the other side I believe new Zealand will easily crushed African and thus we will have new Zealand and Australia/India final.

Yeah, in 11th game of ICC Champions Trophy played between England and South Africa. England opened its batting innings with Phin Salt and Ben Duckett, scoring a partnership of just 9 runs. Jamie Smith lost wicket at 20 runs. The overall performance of the team was very down and England couldn't perform well in this series. South Africa's bowlers got wickets one after one restricting the England to a target of 180 runs.
South Africa opened inning with Ryan Rickelton and Tristan Stubbs with a partnership of just 11 runs. England got wickets at the start of the game and Second wicket was down at 47 runs. But Rassie van der Dussen chnaged the situation of the game by scoring 72 runs. The 3rd wicket was down at 174 runs and after that England failed to get wickets. South Africa achieved the target and qualified for semi-finals with 5 points.

[UmerIdrees]

So here Afghanistan has been out of the tournament. If we talk about thier journey, it was so intense and nail bitting matches they played but at the end of the day, they have been lost this event too.

Since 2019 there team are trying to do something good and so far they are just doing the try. They lost thier first game against South Africa then on the second game, they were facing to England where firstly they had the loss of their three main wickets then suddenly the game had been changed and this incredible and full of suspense game won by the Afghanistan team. Yesterday they were trying to do best but cannot and when they were losing it, rain stopped the game.

[Nanga Parbat]

There is a lot of competition going on between the two teams, South Africa has lost 2 wickets in the power play at the moment. If South Africa wants to win, they will have to perform for a long time while defending the only wicket, if wickets keep falling as fast as England, then South Africa will be under a lot of pressure in the end.
If Van der Dussen and Klaasen can perform well, then South Africa will be able to win very quickly. So this partnership must last for a long time, it will play a significant role in South Africa's victory, but I think it is better for England to lose this match because their match today is only a competitive match.

The match was not tough but poorly played as both the teams did not play well which did not make the target big enough to interest us.  If we focus on England, they had a tough bowling attack due to which their batsmen only gave a target of 179 which was very easy. They had 50 overs but they played that badly.  South Africa took full advantage of this easy target with which their batsmen completed the target and won the match.  The South African batsmen completed the target in 30 overs, giving them an easy win.  I thought England was strong but South Africa strengthened themselves and weakened England and won the match.

South Africa team defeated England very easily today, South Africa team's batting and bowling performance was amazing today. But England team played with disappointment in today's match due to which they were all out for just 179 runs. England was very weak in batting in this match. By winning today's match by a huge margin of 7 wickets, South Africa team has taken the top position in the points table and they have qualified for the semi-finals. South Africa team's batting performance has been amazing and they have also been great in bowling, so they have been able to qualify for the Champions Trophy, if they perform like that, it is definitely possible to go to the final.

England should be ashamed of this defeat because they are very strong and South Africa was not that strong team but they put so much pressure on them with hard work and good performance that their batsmen scored only 179 runs which was considered more and bigger target for South Africa but when they saw their batting everyone was surprised because South Africa beat a strong team which was not easy for them because their bowler had to work hard.  This target was not difficult for the South African batsmen as their batsmen lost only 3 wickets in 30 overs which is very less and during these overs they also achieved the target and won the match.  Congratulations to them for this win as South Africa played very well and won the match.
