South Africa were let down by their skills in a team record 243-run loss to hosts India at the Cricket World Cup on Sunday, but with a semi-final place already booked there will be no panic in the camp, says coach Rob Walter.
With India and South Africa having already qualified for the World Cup semifinals and following Pakistan and Australia winning their respective matches in the World Cup on Saturday, here is how the qualification scenario looks like for the other teams in the competition:
The World Cup 2023 has entered its final stretch of group stage matches. India and South Africa are the two teams who have secured their qualification for the semi-finals, while Bangladesh and a hapless England have already been eliminated.
The 1996 World Cup champions Sri Lanka are on the brink of exiting the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 and in pursuit of keeping their chances faintly alive, they take on Bangladesh in match No. 38 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Monday, November 6. After beginning the tournament with three defeats on the trot, including a forgettable bowling performance against Pakistan where they failed to defend a 345-run target, Sri Lanka opened their account in the ongoing edition against the Netherlands.
Afghanistan cricket team fast bowler Naveen-ul-Haq took to social media to take a dig at Australia before the two teams face each other in Cricket World Cup 2023 on November 7. In a post made on Instagram, Naveen referred to the time in 2021 when Australia refused to travel to Afghanistan for a Test match due to political tensions. The Taliban seized control in August 2021 and as a result, Australia decided to cancel their travel plans. Naveen said that it will be interesting to see what Australia decides now considering the political situation in Afghanistan has not changed since then.

In reply, Fakhar Zaman scored an explosive century while Babar Azam contributed with a gritty half-century as Pakistan were ahead of DLS par score when rain halted play.
