De Kock is consistently scoring centuries, and he's just hit his 4th hundred in this World Cup. He's been the standout player of the tournament. What a fantastic way to say farewell to your last World Cup. He's having a dream run in his final ODI tournament and is heading into retirement with a bang. South Africa has already crossed 300 runs in the 46th over. Dussen and Miller are at the crease, hitting the ball to all around of the field.

This innings against South Africa is one of the best innings he played even though he scored 3 other centuries in this world Cup as the wicket was not that easy to bat initially and Quinton de Kock played an incredible innings and batting first South Africa always score runs.

It will be a difficult chase for New Zealand and they need to built partnerships and take the match close without loosing much wickets to pose any challenge as they already lost 2 wickets.

South Africa got off to a great start after losing the toss and batting first. Opener D Kock A Babu Ma. But South Africa hit in the ninth over. He had to return after scoring a personal 24 runs with a catch by Darrell Mitchell off Trent Boult. De Kock then managed the blow with Rassie von der Dusen. A great performance can be seen in the double century of the two. If South Africa saw a great performance in their seventh match, the world would. They collected 357 runs for 4 wickets in 50 overs. New Zealand has already entered the field with the bat. They collected 20 runs and 1 wicket in 5 overs. New Zealand must show good performance to play the target of 358 runs given by South Africa.

In the beginning, New Zealand is under great pressure, so it is becoming difficult for New Zealand to win by targeting 358 runs. If the runs had come in the opening partnership, New Zealand would have had a chance to win. But according to Jensen, New Zealand are under a lot of pressure. Will it be possible for New Zealand to overcome this pressure?

SA makes 358, Mitchell's catch was effortless.

Today's match completely favour for South Africa.
358 runs target very much difficult. If New Zealand fails to win today's match then the chances of New Zealand in the semi-final will decrease.

NZ still got chances, in NZ's last game, Aussies made 388 and NZ lost by 6 runs.

The Pune pitch has always been good for batters. Considering how the South African team struggled but late on got near to 400 runs. I feel this match would be good for the New Zealand's batter. If they lose quick wickets early in the match then it won't be possible for them to win today.

If SA can get Ravindra and Mitchell's wickets early then NZ ship may sink.

These guys keep scoring big totals just for fun, one can understand if some team sets a mammoth target once in a while but this South African team keeps doing the same thing and in doing so, making a mockery of the opposition bowlers when they bat first. How do you stop this outfit? I guess no one has any answers so far.

Big task for Kiwis and for obvious reasons, Afg-SL-Pak fans must be rooting for SA tonight.

South Africa collected 357 runs losing 4 wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. Centuries from Rassie van der Dussen and Quinton de Kock helped South Africa score a lot of runs. South Africa finished very well especially David Miller batted very well scoring 53 off 30 balls. Trent Boult bowled very well from the start. New Zealand will have to bat at a target of 358 runs. Against Australia, New Zealand scored 383 against a target of 388 and lost by just 5 runs. If New Zealand's batting line can improve in today's match, then today's match will be competitive. But the target of 358 runs is enough target for ODI format. Chasing 398 runs is difficult for any team to win. I see South Africa's chances of winning today.

New Zealand have scored 380 against a reputed bowling attack of Australia, can they perform once again when needed?? 357 on the board for South Africa is a very competitive total and with the bowling attack that they have, should be able to defend it most times as well. That being said, it is definitely achievable it the ball comes on to the bat nicely.

358 is the target to chase for the New Zealand team. Considering their past chasing in this tournament, I don't think it would be that easy for the batters. The South African bowling attack is pretty good as of now I don't think it will be easy for them to chase those runs. If New Zealand cannot win today then they will be seriously in trouble for getting a spot in the semifinals.

South Africa lost the toss and went into bat in the ODI match between South Africa vs New Zealand at the Pune Cricket Stadium. Quinton de Kock's 114 runs and Rassie van der Dussen's 133 runs set a huge target for South Africa. In the end, David Miller's impeccable batting of 53 runs from 30 balls made New Zealand the target of 358 runs. New Zealand's bowling line could not do much good against South Africa, who are in great form in this year's World Cup. Quinton de Kock is the highest run scorer in this tournament so far. In no time, New Zealand will begin their second innings chasing their target of 358 runs. The match is almost in favor of South Africa. However, New Zealand batsmen are also doing great in this tournament. Let's enjoy how the match turns out in the end.

Moreover, look how shamelessly Bangladeshi batter Mehedi Hasan Miraz laughed in the post-match conference as if they had no shame. The media reporters were asking him questions about the champions trophy. Bangladesh have to be at least number eight in the point table if they want to qualify for the champions trophy next year, what if you guys cannot play champions trophy?

Mr. Shameles started laughing and says it will be bad for all of us including you media reporters. You guys won't have jobs to report and bla bla bla. Can you imagine how smaleless they are?

36 overs and SA at 205-1, De Kock makes 100 once again, he's been in great form, they should easily cross 300+. I wonder why Latham choose to bowl when even commentary guys were saying SA hasn't been good at chasing.

Unbelievable batting.

South Africa are following its well tested strategy. Bat carefully for 35 overs and save wickets then try to unleash the brutal attack in the last phase of the inning, so far in this World Cup they have seen ridiculous success with this template and it looks like today they are all set to repeat the same. Spectators won't mind some fireworks.

If SA manage to put another 350 total then I am not sure if Kiwis could chased it down successfully despite their brave effort against Australia. Saying this because Proteas bowlers are performing quite well when defending big totals, almost dominating the opponent batters.

Records broken by Quinton De Kock today 4th Century in world cup 2023 and De Kock is 1st South African to score 500 runs in a world cup edition. South Africa lost ony 2 wickets 44 over completed and have chance to score 360 + runs on this ground. South Africa at present score 290 runs pwer hitter David Miller is on carees and van de Dussen is playing 130*. South Africa smashed evey NewZealand bowlers expect trent boult. Brilliant batting by van de Dussen hitting powerful sixes, South Africa aim to cross 360 + total for NewZealand.

So far so good from South Africa; their strategy to hold wicket at the start is working, and they are now gradually increasing their run rate. Going over 5 runs per over at the moment, and in the last few overs, they have increased their scoring rate. From here, they will be looking to score over 350 runs. 350 will be a difficult target to chase for any team against a South African bowling attack.
Conway, Ravindra and Mitchel will be the key wickets for SA if they want to win this match with ease. The decision of choosing to field first and winning the toss is not favouring New Zealand at the moment. Let's see if their batsmen justify this decision under the lights.

Something above 350 is very much possible. South Africa are at 170/1 after 32 overs. If they can score 10 runs per over, then they can get to 350. The important thing to remember here is that South Africa has lost only one wicket till now. De Kock and vd Dussen are at crease, while power-hitters such as Markram, Klaassen and Miller are yet to come. The lowest possible total as of now is around 350, but it can go up to 380. Even at 350, the possibility of a New Zealand win decreases to around 20%. And at 380, it is 0%.

The ICC ranking has been updated after yesterday's match. But in this time, Pakistan couldn’t achieve the first position in the ODI ranking but the players of Pakistan achieved the ranking, Babar Azam is the no.1 ODI batsman and Shaheen Shah Afridi also is at the top in the ranking of ODI bowling, and Shaheen Shah Afridi also made a new World Cup which is the fastest 100 wickets in ODI. Babar Azam and Shaheen Shah Afridi are are at the top in the ICC ODI ranking, but Pakistan doesn’t have a good all-rounder so Pakistan doesn’t have any all-rounder in the top 10 on ranking.
