Today the number of support towards South Africa match is more because South Africa team is much stronger than Netherlands. South Africa perform well in both batting line and bowling line which is why they are far ahead in the current position. Because the South African team has played two matches so far and won both of them due to which they are third in the points table. And Netherlands team is at the bottom of the points table because they lost both the matches but in today's match also I think Netherlands team will lose. Due to the fact that only the bowling line of the Netherlands team is strong, the batting line cannot perform well.

Well.. I would say this. If the South Africans are not complacent, then there is no chance that the Dutch would win this match. These two teams are diametrically on the opposite sides when it comes to momentum. Netherlands is widely believed to be the weakest team in this tournament. But at the same time, they have avoided heavy defeats so far. And Bas de Leede has performed exceptionally against top opposition. Anyway, fingers crossed for today's match. I am hoping for a decent performance from Netherlands.
South Africa must win today against Netherlands and in today's match South Africa will get full points and move to the top position of the points table for the first time in this world cup tournament. South Africa have a much higher net run rate than India and New Zealand so 2 points will take them to the very top of the points table. Africa have enjoyed easy wins against Sri Lanka and Australia and the match against the Netherlands will be no exception. In today's match, South Africa will ensure a big win against Netherlands and they will get a chance to increase their net run rate in this match. We are going to witness another one-sided match in the World Cup tournament.


Today is the 15th match of this ODI World Cup. The South African team has more chances to win and if the South African team wins then South Africa will achieve the top position in the point table, and South Africa will achieve second time, the first position. I think that the team that is in the top 4 right now can qualify for the semi-final because other teams don’t play well. Yes, maybe New Zealand can’t qualify for the Semi Final because the main player Kane Williamson was injured, and maybe England will take the place of New Zealand. I think that the Netherlands and Sri Lanka never qualify for the semi-final. I can say that Pakistan and India can qualify for the semi final.

South Africa  vs  Netherlands

Another easy win awaits South Africa tomorrow. South Africa will play against the Netherlands. It will not be wrong to say that the Netherlands is the weakest team in this World Cup. South Africa on the other hand are at the top of form. In the first match, they set a record in World Cup history. They collected the highest runs in the history of the World Cup. And in the second match, they beat the mighty Australia team by 134 runs. In these two matches, the Australian batsmen collected a total of 739 runs. From this, it is easily understood that South African batsmen are in great form.

The Netherlands' batting line-up is somewhat strong. They have several talented batsmen in their squad. But their bowlers are not experienced enough. And so if South Africa bats first in this match then I think they will easily give a 350+ targets in this match. And will win by a big margin like the last two matches

There are two possible reasons which we can say. First you have mentioned that the Sri Lanka team's batsman didn't play well. And the second is Australia team's bowling was good. Because if you take a look on player of the match Adam Zampa he bowled really well and got 4 wickets. And in the Sri Lanka team Dilshan Madushanka tried well and got 3 wickets. I think both teams played well and tried well but unfortunately lost that match.

It was a one-sided match, quite similar to all the other matches so far in this world cup. So I don't understand your point when you say that Sri Lanka also played well. If you are referring about specific players such as Kusal Perera, Pathum Nissanka or Dilshan Madushanka, then that maybe the case. But overall, Sri Lankan performance was pathetic yesterday. At one point they were 125/0. And then they were 157/1. From this position, they just collapsed to 209 all out. They lost their last 9 wickets for just 52 runs, as Adam Zampa destroyed their middle and lower order.

I stand with Palestine.
The Sri Lankan batsmen's performance in this match was very poor, right said. The position was very good till the 23rd over when the powerplay ended and from then on Sri Lanka started losing wickets at crucial times. I predicted 320 runs after seeing Sri Lanka's runs. Since my prediction, Sri Lanka lost quick wickets to give Australia a target of just 209 runs. Australia's batting performance today was similar to the previous two matches, but Sri Lanka's target of 209 for 5 was met in this match. Yes, Australia's performance this season has not been very good but today's win in this match helped Australia to move up to number 8 in the points table. I have already predicted that Australia will beat Sri Lanka to win this match

Australia need just 51 more with over 20 overs to go and have lost just 4 wickets. so Australia is very likely for him in this match and pretty sure they will win this match. Australia has a good reputation in the game of cricket. and Australia's quality of play today is so good that Sri Lanka will not be able to beat them in any way. Australia are still at the bottom of the points table as they have lost their last matches to India and South Africa. however, by winning today's match, they will be able to improve themselves a bit. If Australia can play as well as they did today, I think they will be in a good position
Congratulations to the Australian team and their fan as they show a very good performance. Both the team Sri Lanka and Australia played 2 2 matches and they lost both but now the Australian team made a good comeback. The openers of the Sri Lankan team made a good partnership of 125 runs if their partnership continues they will give them a very tough time to the Australian team and one more batsman made a good run Asalanka, Apart from these they all are out below 10 runs no one crosses the 10 run obstacle. But in the bowler section, Dilshan did a very impressive performance by taking 3 wickets out of 4. The match was very easy for the Australian team if they had not chased them then I thought they needed to go home but they proved me wrong by winning the match in just 36 overs.

Whenever I listen to the match of South Africa vs Netherlands so my mind always reminds me about the 2022 World Cup match, in 2022 Pakistan couldn’t qualify for the for semi-final then the Netherlands helped Pakistan, and then Pakistan qualified for the semi-final, that is another topic that Pakistan lost the final but the Netherlands do their work. Anyways, this is 2023, not 2022 so we need to talk about present matches not past, and maybe South Africa is in the mood to take revenge, because when South Africa lost the 2022 match so that was a very shameful moment for the South African team but now, let’s see what happens tomorrow.

What the heck is wrong with Sri Lanka. They went from winning positions to losing positions within a short gap since this tournament started. They were 120/0 at one stage and they folded for 209 which is embarassing.
Australia struggled to win which goes to show why they won't win the cup this time. Sri Lanka is almost out of the race too.
Sri Lanka displayed a completely unprofessional game in today's match. Because the opening two batsmen of the top order, Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Perera, no one's performance was as expected. If 7-8 players in a team get out scoring single digits then it becomes very difficult to win that match. The start was good for the Sri Lankan team but from then on their rhythm fell.
Australian team is not an ordinary team who can easily win the match by putting pressure on them. However, Australia has not performed very well in this tournament. But today Australia won the match by 5 wickets. The Australian team may try to turn around from here. The next match will be a battle between Australia and Pakistan on 20 Oct. How much Australia can improve remains to be seen.

The Sri Lankan batsmen's performance was very disappointing. They played very badly. Although the two openers have done well, none of the other batsmen in the squad have done well. My prediction was that Sri Lanka team will be able to score 300+ runs today like last two matches. But they can't do it. If the team would have been able to deliver the 280+ run target in today's match then they would have been able to win this match against Australia. Australia's batsmen were not in good form. Even in today's match, Australian batsmen are not performing very well. However Sri Lanka lost this match due to batting like a fool. Sri Lanka failed to win even one of the three matches. On the other hand, Australia got their first win.

Sri Lanka today got a good start. Openers gave a stand of 125 runs and if rest of batters played with responsibility then SL have chance to cross 300 runs. Sri Lankan batsmen scored 344 runs in last game but there bowling failed to defend such a huge target. Today its Australia and they have lost both of there opening games so far and they must be looking for there first win today. Definitely it will be a good contest today.
Sri Lanka team may not win today's match in any way. Because Sri Lanka team started to perform very bad in batting and bowling line. Australia team batsman now come to bat. It seems that the run target given by Sri Lanka team is very easy.  over will win the match. The run that Sri Lanka team scored was not the right run to win. So I think Sri Lanka team has no chance to win today's match.
Australia won by 5 wickets and chase down the target 215 runs in loss of 5 wickets in 35.2 overs. Australia first win of world cup following consecutive losses against South Africa and India. Josh Inglis played an amazing inning with the bat for Australia score 58 runs in 59 balls
A magical spell by the Australian spiner Adam Zampa who picked 4 important wicktes by giving just 47 runs. Australia climbs two places to no. 8 position from the bottom of the table. Adam Zampa was named the player of the match for his match-winning spell against Sri Lanka in Lucknow.
Out of the ten teams, the first eight teams have made a good start with wins, but only two teams have not made a good start with a win in the tournament so far. Sri Lanka and the Netherlands have yet to fail. Each team will play one match against each team thus 10 teams will play nine matches where each team has already played three matches (except Netherlands). After each team played three matches, the teams that are number one to four in the points table are India, New Zealand, Africa and Pakistan.  

To catch the first round of this tournament, one-third of the games are over. Sri Lanka's next match will be easy and remaining matches will be tough for Sri Lanka. The way Sri Lanka are performing it looks like they will win only one match in this tournament and that is against Netherlands.

*STOP NOWHERE*
As the target is only 210 runs. Australia's chances of defeat in this match are very low. A target of more than 250 would have been difficult for Australia to win. Because Australian batsmen are not in good form now.
The team is batting at a target of only 210 runs. I thought Australia's top order would be able to bat responsibly. But like the last two matches, Australia's top order could not play well today. The team lost two wickets for 24 runs and the third wicket for 81 runs. Labuchagne and Inglis are batting very well now. Australia collected 106 runs in 19 overs. Only 104 runs were needed to win. Collecting 104 runs in 31 overs is not a difficult task.
Australia plays very well, and I know that Australia can win this match if they maintain their partnership because the partnership is very important to win the match and the Australian team can make it but I hope that the current batsman Josh Inglis and Marnus Labuschagne make the partnership of at least 100 scores. The player who lost their wicket also tried to make a partnership but they couldn’t make it, Mitchell Marsh, David Warner, and Steve Smith were also trying to make a partnership.
Steve Smith is always out with LBW when Australia plays against India so Steve Smith is also out by LBW. Australia can chase the target because they play very well in today’s match. They did 155 in 22 overs and the target is just 209 scores. I want to hear that Australia won their first match in this World Cup.

The performance of Australian players is still erratic. Australian bowlers bowled brilliantly today so they won. Australia would not have been able to win this match if the bowlers did not do well. The way Sri Lanka started the batting, the team was likely to score more than 300 runs. But Sri Lanka couldn't do it because of Cummins' excellent bowling. Cummins took the wickets of the two openers. And then we see Adam Zampa's brilliant bowling. Maxwell's bowling was also very controlled.
Australia's middle order seems to have returned to form. Labuschagne, Inglish, Maxwell and Stoinis played well today. If we can maintain this consistency, we will see better performance from Australia in the upcoming matches.

Actually Sri Lanka I think lost a big chance because Australia team was not that strong this time, although Sri Lanka also could not see the face of victory in their previous matches. Still I think Sri Lanka missed a big opportunity today.
Although I myself saw Sri Lanka's start and thought that Sri Lanka is going to win today because, despite the other Sri Lankan batsmen batting irresponsibly, their two openers have given a very good performance today. Unfortunately, their performance was wasted due to lack of full team work. But whatever you say today Australia's bowling performance has been better than other matches especially Mitchell Starc deserves credit for taking four wickets to win this match. However, due to the victory of today's match, Australia may get their opportunity back in the future, as I thought that Australia will not face any win this time.

no doubt the Sri Lankan team did not play this match well, but look at the other two matches they also showed very poor performance and maybe they got out of this tournament as they lost three matches but just look to the Australian team they also lost 2 matches but now they are coming back but I am little bit confuse weather the Sri Lankan team show poor performance or the Australian team did their best, well the answer of this question will be done on the peak Australian match if they beat Pakistan they may be rebirthing of their performance and if they are loss then we will say only that this is the bad luck of Sri Lanka Grin Grin Grin

No doubt they have taken a good start with a spectacular partnership, but the main concern was their middle order which unable to add their contribution to the total board, and that become the main factor of their small target, unexpected dismissal of mendis really broke their confidence, and thus they collapse but anyway same thing's is repeated by third consecutive team first Afghanistan then Pakistan and now Sri Lanka, hope they will work on their such weak zone in order be active and survive in ODI world cup.

It's true that they struggle, but they have ability to come back stronger and survive longer because they have history of dominating such tournament, so you can underestimate them, still they have opportunity to put his team on track and I believe they will be at least survive till semifinals or finals

Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Afghanistan's main problem is their batting weakness. The performance of Sri Lankan batsmen is very erratic. They bowled very poorly against South Africa but still managed to score 326 runs. The team failed to win against Pakistan despite being given a target of 345 runs. In these two matches, we saw excellent batting from Sri Lanka but their bowling performance was very poor. Sri Lanka started very well in today's match as well. The team was likely to give a target of 300+ runs. But after losing the first wicket for 125 runs, the team managed to collect only 84 more runs.

Sri Lanka had no chance of winning this match after such a bad performance by the batsmen. I don't blame the bowlers for Sri Lanka's loss in this match. In today's match, the bowlers did quite well but the batsmen played very badly.
