Pakistan vs South Africa, ODI World Cup 2023, Live Updates:Pakistan will be squaring off against South Africa in their ODI World Cup 2023 match on Friday in Chennai. His captaincy on line after a hat-trick of defeats, Babar Azam will be keen to find some inspiration and that exclusive piece of Pakistani magic.
The South African cricket team has established itself as one of the most formidable contenders in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. They have secured four victories in five matches, with only one loss. Quinton de Kock and Heinrich Klaasen have been standout performers in the batting department, receiving timely support from stand-in skipper Aiden Markram. When it comes to their bowling, pacers Kagiso Rabada, Marco Jansen and Gerald Coetzee have been exceptional, consistently dismantling rival batting lineups. This presents a significant challenge for the Pakistan batters, even on the slow MA Chidambaram Stadium surface. (World Cup 2023 points table)
South Africa skipper Temba Bavuma admitted on Thursday that he was so stunned by seeing Pakistan described as "mercurial" that he had to "Google the word" out of respect for his opponents ahead of their World Cup clash.
South Africa will be tempted to field first against Pakistan in their World Cup clash here on Friday, conceded captain Temba Bavuma after the Proteas piled up two of the highest totals in the competition while batting first in their recent outings. South Africa scored 399/7 against England and 382/5 against Bangladesh to record big wins by more than 100 runs in their two-game stint in Mumbai, making the most of the batting-friendly surface. With their only loss in five games coming while batting second, South Africa would be tempted to chase if they win toss in Chennai knowing how conducive batting conditions were here during Afghanistan's eight-wicket win over Pakistan.
South Africa have found ways to manage expectations and ditch the tag of being chokers at the World Cup but are aware it will be difficult to shake off if they fail as they go deeper in the tournament, captain Temba Bavuma said on Thursday.
South Africa vs Bangladesh Live updates: Fresh from a resounding victory against defending champions England in their last match of the Cricket World Cup 2023, South Africa square-off against Bangladesh in their next assignment at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. As unpredictable as Bangladesh are, the Proteas would look to avoid another upset, having already been beaten by the Netherlands in the quadrennial event. South Africa would welcome back skipper Temba Bavuma who had missed the last match due to upset stomach. For the Bangla Tigers, skipper Shakib Al Hasan would once again be key. (LIVE Scorecard)
An in-form South Africa go up against Bangladesh in match no. 23 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Tuesday, October 24 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, starting at 2:00 PM IST. Bangladesh went down against hosts India at Pune in their previous match in the tournament. It was their third loss after prior defeats to England and New Zealand. South Africa, on the other hand, have won three of their four matches, following their massive 229-run victory against England at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday. Heinrich Klaasen's century alongside fifties for Reeza Hendricks and Marco Jansen guided the Proteas to a daunting total of 399/7. Led by Gerald Coetzee's three-for, the South African men's cricket team toppled England for 170 in the run chase. (World Cup 2023 points table)
South Africa will look to build on their superlative performance against the defending champions when they take on a struggling Bangladesh in their World Cup match in Mumbai on Tuesday, knowing well that taking the foot off the pedal at this stage could spell trouble. South Africa were off to a flier when they thrashed Sri Lanka and Australia by 100-plus margins, but a shocking defeat against the Netherlands pegged them back before they demolished England by 229 runs to put their campaign back on track.
