Yes that's right, if the bowlers of the Afghanistan team can still make the wickets of the South African team fall quickly. Then this match will be possible for Afghanistan team to win. The bowlers of the Afghanistan team have so far managed to pick up 4 important wickets of the South African team by bowling 28.5 overs. Strengthening the bowling lineup of the Afghanistan team is very important to win this match against South Africa. Now it is impossible to say how successful the bowlers of the Afghanistan team will be in bowling. On the other hand, the batsmen of the Afghanistan team have also fought hard to reach the target of victory. In the second innings game, Afghanistan team has so far collected 143 runs for the loss of 4 wickets in 28.5 overs. South Africa still need 102 runs to complete the target set by Afghanistan in today's match. Now let's see till the end of the game, which team can snatch victory in today's match

There is no doubt that a target of 244 runs is not a big target in this World Cup, and for another reason it is a very low target score for a strong batting line-up like South Africa. Still, Afghanistan's bowlers are trying their best and so far five South African players have been dismissed in 40 overs while South Africa have scored 193 runs. South Africa still need 51 more runs to win, if Afghanistan's bowlers perform well here, and manage to take two or three more wickets, chances of winning the match can arise. Rassie van der Dussen is currently at the crease and is batting on 62 runs and I think Rassie van der Dussen is the biggest obstacle for Afghanistan to win at the moment.
A very responsible chase for batters, and a easy victory for South Africa, and they have finished the group stage with 7 Matches win over 8 matches and 14 points on point tables. They played their semifinal match against Australia because Australia is on top 3 on points table. Afghanistan world cup is over. Afghanistan are eliminated with 8 points. But i think it's their best world cup campaign in history beacuse they win 3 match against top teams. Today will played 2 important matches of world cup.

^ we have seen some huge cricket surprises this year. First the world cup champs West Indies couldn't qualify for world cup and then this news regarding Sri Lanka. Also, England performance in this world cup counts too, they have big names in their squad but yet team performed so poorly.

Just in : ICC has suspended Sri Lankan cricket board membership, which directly means that they won't be able to play any ICC tournament for now.

The main reason is SL sports ministry recently sacked the complete SLC board and the ICC never entertains direct government interference.

This is a major set back for the Sri Lankan cricket. They are already on the losing side in the majority of the tournaments including the World Cup and this ICC suspension may take their country's cricket even down.

Never expected this fate and downfall of the Sri Lankan team who were once the champions of the World Cup under the leadership of Arjuna Ranatunga in the 1996 World Cup.

Pakistan vs England and Australia vs Bangladesh coming up next. Australia will just play for fun while the rest excluding Pak are fighting for staying in contention for the upcoming Champions trophy 2025.

Am not really interested in either of these matches, but I am expecting Pakistan and Australia to win their respective matches.
Today's match is very important for Bangladesh because if Bangladesh lose to Australia by more than 180 runs then they will not be able to participate in Champions Trophy 2025. Therefore, even if Bangladesh cannot win today's match with the best performance, care must be taken to ensure that there is no gap of 180 runs. Moreover, as Shakib Al Hasan is not in today's match, there is pressure on Bangladesh in the match.

Knee jerk reaction from the sports ministry so it surely does look ugly but this problem should be resolved soon and we have a good 6-7 months window for T-20 WC.

The main issue would be WTC matches. SL only played 2 test matches so far and if they are scheduled to play some matches in the next 1-2 months then those fixtures might face cancellation.

I don't really care about Sri Lanka. They are a team in decline. IMO, providing 30x more funds to teams like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and West Indies when compared to stronger associate nations such as Netherlands and Scotland doesn't make sense. Hopefully the ICC will re-distribute funds to smaller nations and it will create a level playing field. Back in 2016, the ICC suspended CAN (Cricket Association of Nepal) and for a period from 2016 to 2019 Nepal didn't received any sort of ICC funding. The same criteria should be applied to Sri Lanka as well.   
Alone Sri Lanka is not on decline now we are having few other countries as well which are having the worst time in this game with things are going to look like nothing positive is going to happen to them in near future just because of this now we need few big changes in this game and ICC needs to act quickly bringing more teams for the T20i and ending of these 50 overs format can bring good changes and having fewer teams in test format is also indeed.
Peoples having no time for watching this game all day and players are also now looking for less hassle which give them more time for having best in T20i hopefully after this event they will sit and talk this all Sri Lanka case is nothing new we have this tradition in Asian cricket for long time.

To be honest if that were the main reason to suspend sirilankan team membership then they should suspend indian , Paksitani and Bangladeshi cricket board membership too because here  directly or indirectly government interfere too so it's not fair to target a single team instead of took action against all of them as everyone has equal right.

Afghanistan played well but they were few runs shorter in order to restrict south african batting line-up,  thier top order and middle order didn't add significant contribution but omarzai and some other add decent runs through which they able to scored around 250. Anyway South chase down required target and won this match in loss of big bunch of wickets .
Tomorrow we have Australia vs Bangladesh which I think should be Australia trashing win while on next day we have paksitan vs England which will be really important and interesting to watch because Paksitani captain Baber Azam told during Press conference that they had a plan to fix run rate problem so let see how they manage things

I think there is no need for such actions from Sri Lankan government. They could have done that with decency after the WC when team arrives back home. To me this issue will be settled very soon, as ICC dont have much full test teams at its pool. Teams like England and Bangladesh have similar story in this WC but see how proud still Bangladeshi team and its management is. They have acquired full test status for over two decade for no reason.

Today match Afghanistan 244 target for South Africa. South Africa batsman makes 13 run in 3 over and Afghanistan no any wicket against south Africa. South Africa batsman makes 32 run in 6 over. South Africa batsman makes 85 run in 18 over and 2 outs. South Africa batsman makes 132 run in 25 over and 3 outs. South Africa has achieved this target which was given by Afghanistan. Afghanistan batsmen did not play with struggle and effort.Due to which today's match was lost. South Africa won the match and go to semi final. South Africa was very proud. That they have reached the semi finals.

South African team took a good start but just like we have seen in previous matches that they were in huge trouble while chasing required target, so again they chocked and after dismissal of top order their middle order completely collapse and things were going to look like in favour of Afghanistan but later some classical innings from Vander dussen divert entire things and put back South Africa in game and with some contribution lower order they were able to won this important match. No doubt from Afghanistan side the two hero Rashid and omarzai played magnificently but unfortunately unable to own and thus Afghanistan got out of world Cup officially

LOL.. Hopefully this gets sorted out quite soon. Else Sri Lanka may not be able to play in the 2024 T20 World Cup, and the third placed team from the Asian T20 qualifiers (United Arab Emirates or Bahrain) will take their place. For the Champions trophy of 2025, there is no such issue because Sri Lanka hasn't qualified for that tournament. Also, I am curious to know what will happen to fund allocation. SLCB is supposed to receive a massive $27.12 million for the year 2024 from the ICC. What will happen to these funds?

Another tight contest by Afghanistan as they sign off with a loss. Afghanistan got 5 wickets 38 over but Rassie van der Dussen and Andile Phehlukwayo fight hard to take SA to victory stand. Apart from Azmatullah Omarzai no Afghan batsmen was able to score runs and thats why they gave a small target of 245 runs. The game will be much more tighter if Afghanistan had given a target of 270 - 280.

The match is getting a bit tight now. South Africa need another 111 runs, with 7 wickets in hand. It should be relatively easy for South Africa from here. But we never know, as the Proteas have a reputation as chokers. Anyway, the outcome of this match is irrelevant. Australia is going to face South Africa in the semi-final and the result of this match is not going to change anything. So it is going to be quite tough for South Africa to qualify for the final. But even then, I think they would prefer Australia as the opponent instead of India.

It's now 100 runs more required with 20 more overs to go with 6 wickets in hand. Still pretty easy for them but they would not want to make it more dramatic from here on in.
Remember that they would be playing with Australia in the semi finals, and they should not lose the match grip at any time as the strong teams will just not let these moments go and may exploit them to come back in the match.

Rashid Khan again is the most successful bowler among Afghanistan and took 2 wickets. However, he has bowled out his 8 overs and only two more overs left for him in this world cup.

The South African team lost the wicket of Temba Bavuma in the 11th over. As usual in the previous matches we saw a poor performance from Bavuma in today's match. Bavuma returned to the dressing room after collecting 23 runs from 28 balls.

Quinton de Kock is batting with responsibility. De Kock is unbeaten after collecting 41 runs from 46 balls. At the end of 13 overs, South Africa managed to collect 66 runs. As now South Africa are second in the points table, and they have no chance to go to the top of the table, so South Africa net run rate is not worried today. This is why South African batsmen are not batting aggressively today.

South Africa need to be a bit careful, Afghanistan had got two quick wickets and they are trying to get more. South Africa need 130 runs from 27.5 overs so there is no need to rush right now. 50 runs partnership completed between Rassie van der Dussen and Markram. South Africa are in comfortable position at the moment and to win this game Afghanistan need few quick wickets.



Yes that's right, if the bowlers of the Afghanistan team can still make the wickets of the South African team fall quickly. Then this match will be possible for Afghanistan team to win.

In South Africa against Afghanistan squad match, Afghanistan squad start this match by batting inning, won toss from South Africa squad. Performance of Batting inning of Afghanistan squad is not going to be perfect if we see their score dashboard. In 145 scores, their six batters wiped out from the crease. The batters have been wiped out from the crease are Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Ibrahim Zardan, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Ikram Alikhil and Mohammad Nabi. Among the batters that I mentioned below Rahmat Shah performance is better than the other batters. Currently, Afghanistan batters made 149 scores in 34 overs and 16 overs are left for batting and I hope Afghanistan squad will not give a high target but they give alteast 200 scores.
Afghanistan's quality of play is not looking good as they scored only 153 runs in 36 overs and lost 6 wickets.  And because of the loss of this wicket, they are playing with a lot of fear. And thus given a target of small runs, South Africa will overcome it very easily and win the match. South Africa is far ahead in the Cricket World Cup this time. The position of South Africa is after India.  So I don't think it will be possible for Afghanistan to win this match. And even if Afghanistan play the full 50 overs, it is doubtful whether they can cross the 200-run mark.  So I think this match will be very easy for South Africa
Afghanistan at 160/7 in middle of inning and then Azmatullah Omarzai takes Afghanistan inning to 244/10. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran Openers of Afghanistan team didn't played well Gurbaz scored only 25 out and Ibrahim is out for 15 runs. Azmatullah Omarzai scored 97* Just 3 run short of the century and one of the best young talented Afghanistan player that performed well in cricket world cup and reached Afghanistan to A decent 244 total against South Africa.

Afghanistan played very well in the last moment I thought they would not cross 200 runs but they set the target for 244 runs to South Africa. But still South Africa is very likely to win the match but it will be a bit of pressure for them to cross the target of 244 runs.  South Africa have already lost 3 wickets but expect them to win. India and South Africa are the most likely teams in this year's Cricket World Cup
Afghanistan had a rough start. Looking at Afghanistan's poor start, I thought they could score 180 to 200 runs at most. But Azmatullah's brilliant performance saw Afghanistan score 244 runs today. Initially, seeing the bad situation in Afghanistan, I participated in betting for South Africa. But looking at South Africa's poor performance at present, it looks like the bet will be lost today. South Africa are currently 150 runs with the loss of 4 wickets, South Africa still need 95 runs to win. Not much runs needed to win but still I think South Africa will lose to Afghanistan today.
