Afghanistan will play South Africa in match No. 42 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Friday, November 10. The match will take place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. South Africa, who are already through to the semi-finals of the tournament, suffered a massive loss at the hands of India in their previous match. They currently are second in the table with six wins in eight matches.
Former Pakistan all-rounder Mohammed Hafeez and ex-England captain Michael Vaughan recently had a battle on X, formerly known as Twitter, regarding the century of India batter Virat Kohli that came against South Africa. The ton in Cricket World Cup 2023 was a record equalling 49th ODI hundred for Kohli but Hafeez termed the India batter 'selfish' over that knock. Soon after his comment, Vaughan poked fun at Hafeez. Vaughan said that the former Pakistan player criticised the India star because he was clean bowled off Kohli's bowling during the T20 World Cup in 2012.
Rachin Ravindra continues to shine in Cricket World Cup 2023. New Zealand defeated Sri Lanka by five wickets in the tournament on Thursday and moved to the brink of the World Cup semi-finals. Ravindra also contributed to the team's victory with a solid knock of 42. Chasing a modest 172 for victory, New Zealand rode on an opening stand between Devon Conway (45) and Ravindra to achieve the target with 160 balls to spare in Bengaluru. During the knock, Ravindra registered two massive records to his game.
Injured T20I captain Hardik Pandya is unlikely to be available for India's upcoming five-match series against Australia starting November 23 as the star all-rounder will require more time to recover from his left-ankle ligament tear. It is understood that the team for the home T20I series against Australia will be announced only after India's World Cup semifinal, which in all likelihood will be played in Mumbai on November 15. According to sources in the BCCI, a more practical scenario for Hardik would be to get fit by the time the South Africa T20 series starts from December 10 in Durban.
Pakistan on Thursday found themselves staring at an improbable situation for a semifinal spot in the Cricket World Cup 2023, after New Zealand's five-wicket win over Sri Lanka with 26.4 overs to spare. Barring massive wins for Pakistan and Afghanistan against England and South Africa respectively, nothing can stop the Kiwis from locking the fourth and last semifinal berth. India, South Africa and Australia have already sealed their spots in the final four and New Zealand now have one foot into the knockout stage after their robust victory over Sri Lanka.
South Africa's David Miller hailed Afghanistan as “one of the joys of the World Cup” on Thursday but admitted thoughts were already turning towards their semi-final clash with Australia.
The threat of rain looms over New Zealand's game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru which could have significant implications for Pakistan at the Cricket World Cup.
Last week’s assertion that batting was dominating the bowling at the 2023 ODI World Cup provoked the need for more detailed scrutiny.
