Reigning champions England will face South Africa in Match 20 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 21 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India. The match is scheduled to begin at 02:00 PM IST. Both England and South Africa have faced contrasting starts to their campaigns so far. The English team has lost two of its three matches, with one loss coming against Afghanistan while South Africa won the first two matches before suffering a shock 38-run defeat against the Netherlands in their last outing.
Bangladesh stand-in captain Najmul Hossain Shanto has rubbished the suggestion that spinner Nasum Ahmed "intentionally" bowled a wide ball to deny Virat Kohli a century towards the end of India's chase in their World Cup clash. Kohli was batting on 97 with nine overs left and India needing another two runs to achieve the target of 257 here on Thursday, when Ahmed sent a delivery down the leg side, which surprisingly was also not adjudged a wide by the on-field umpire Richard Kettleborough.
Virat Kohli's unbeaten century sealed India's fourth win from four World Cup matches as the hosts defeated Bangladesh by seven wickets on Thursday with the star batsman closing in on Sachin Tendulkar's record for ODI hundreds. Kohli reached his century and ended the match in style with a six against spinner Nasum Ahmed when he needed three runs to complete his century and India two more runs to reach a target of 257. It was number 5 batter KL Rahul, who was standing unbeaten with Kohli at the crease when India won the game.
Indian batting icon Virat Kohli reached a new milestone in his illustrious career, notching up his 48th century in ODI cricket as India hammered Bangladesh in a World Cup 2023 match. As the cricketing fraternity celebrated Kohli's new milestone, there were a few who wondered if Kohli slowing down to reach his hundred at the end of the game was the right move. There were moments in the match where his non-striking partner KL Rahul would even deny singles to ensure Kohli get the strike. Veteran India batter Cheteshwar Pujara, however, wasn't happy with this approach.
Central Coast Mariners' new coach Mark Jackson is confident his team can enjoy a successful season despite kicking off their defence of the A-League title on Friday with a 3-0 loss against Adelaide United.
Virat Kohli's last Cricket World Cup hundred had come in 2015 against Pakistan at Adelaide and he was determined to make it count against Bangladesh on Thursday. Thousands of fans watched with bated breadth as Kohli completed his 48th ODI century. KL Rahul helped his iconic teammate get to the three-figure mark by refusing singles and letting Kohli score the 25-odd runs to complete his century. Kohli, who with 48 hundred is now just one short of legendary Sachin Tendulkar's world record of 49 tons, cheekily apologised to teammate Ravindra Jadeja for "stealing" what could have been a sure-shot player of the match award for Saurashtra all-rounder.
BENGALURU : David Warner picked up the player of the match award for his sensational knock of 163 in Friday's 62-run World Cup win over Pakistan but he was quick to praise his opening partner Mitchell Marsh who made a ton on his birthday.
