India bowled out South Africa for just 83 runs in this match. I don't think it took as long as it took for you to post this to go all out in South Africa. South Africa's performance throughout the tournament was outstanding but in today's match I know why they played one of the worst matches in their World Cup history. However, a win or loss in this match will not matter for the two teams as both India and South Africa have qualified for the semi-finals before the South Africa match. The team that will be the opponent in the semi-final against India will not go to the final because the way India is playing they will definitely fight against any team from the semi-final to the final. I am happy that India won, but if the match was a more closing match, I would have enjoyed watching this match a lot more.

India is becoming almost impossible to be beaten in this tournament. The way India is going it looks very much evident that they will lift this world cup quite easily. They bowled out SL for 55 and now they bowled out SA for just 83 runs. India is likely to play Pakistan or NZ in semis and they both dont any capability to stop India from going to Final. 
Four teams will play in the semi-finals where two teams are already decided and the remaining two teams are yet to be decided. Of the remaining two teams, I would place Australia ahead and Pakistan, New Zealand and Afghanistan fighting for the number four position.  Afghanistan have performed very well but are unlikely to make it to the semi-finals. Pakistan's next match is against England while New Zealand's next match is against Sri Lanka. Pakistan win against England might be a bit difficult but New Zealand will easily win against England, in which case I will place New Zealand as the fourth team for the semi-final. As per my prediction, Australia and New Zealand will play the semi-final as the third and fourth teams.

The real competition will now begin between India's bowlers and South Africa batsmen. If the South African openers give their team a good start, South Africa can easily win the match. On the other hand, if India's bowlers put wickets early and put South Africa under pressure, India chances of winning will be significant. Kohli batted quite slowly to complete his century in the last overs which I think reduced the target.
Lol. Spoken like a proper amateur. If you watched the match, you would have quickly realised that this was a slow pitch which is great for spinners and any target equal or over 300 is very difficult to chase.

This is why Kohli batted slowly since he wanted to continue playing till the end which he did successfully. Think!

Batting against India with a target of 327 runs, South Africa lost one wicket for the first 7 runs. As South Africa lost a wicket early on, they could lose more wickets in the power play. If India can pick up just two more wickets in the power play then they will surely win this match.
Where South Africa should take more run in power play they lose their important wickets on this time. South Africa is on 70 run with losing 7 wicket after 21 over their require run rate  is quite high from there current run rate and they have to talk more 257 run so I don't think that South Africa team has any chances to win this match. Even then my thought was little different before the match but it changed from unpredictable Indian team once again proving that they are the most strongest team in this ICC world cup. 
The South African batsmen have become completely disoriented after coming down to bat against the target of 327 runs given by India. South Africa's batting like this is really disappointing, perhaps their luck is not with them today. South Africa's current score is 69 runs for 7 wickets with 21 overs to play. South Africa's game looks like they will lose today's match by huge runs. India's batting is very strong and their bowling line is very strong. The 2023 World Cup India team is playing with confidence and it looks like they are very likely to reach the final by playing the semi-finals. And if India can go to the final they will have a strength as hosts, maybe they can become champions this time.

The performance of Indian team is very good due to the fact that the Indian team is playing in the country's soil. Because the Indian team has been able to easily defeat a strong team like South Africa, occupying the first place in the points table and till now the Indian team has not lost a single match. The South African team was especially beaten by Ravindra Jadeja as he single-handedly fell five wickets. Ravindra jadeja showed such a good performance against South Africa today that he proved to the whole world that experienced players perform much better. And at any time can roar with the previous speed Meanwhile in batting performance Virat Kohli has shown one of the performances. I never imagined that the South African team would lose by such a margin.

You are right that India bowling line is very strong, but South Africa batting is not weak either, they have batted well in this world cup against strong teams. I think South Africa have scored more than 300 runs many times in this World Cup so this target doesn't look too difficult for their batsmen.
Yeh we really expect that south Africa will show decent performance but they got exposed more poor then against paksitan while chasing Target. It's true that some journalists predict early that southafrica will be in trouble while chasing because they are really bad to chase especially in this tournament and if we have a look at thier results most of the time they won those matches where they does bat first. Now when Kohli played his spectacular inning and Carry his team lonely after quick important dismissal at that time I taught  southafrica will fight back hard but they lose his most of wickets before 100 and soon will registered a brutal trashing defeat from india

Today's match was great for Indian team as Virat Kohli gave a great batting performance. Today on Virat Kohli's birthday he scored a century who played the match from first to last and gifted cricket lovers with a century on his birthday. Virat Kohli scored a century in today's match and moved to the first place for most centuries, he has scored 49 centuries for the Indian team in 277 innings.
India batted brilliantly against South Africa in today's match and at this moment in the second innings, South Africa went into bat and lost three of their wickets. But due to the loss of wickets, South Africa is under a lot of pressure today, it will not be possible for South Africa to win against India today. We have already seen South Africa's great batsmen leave and India's bowling performance is much better. South Africa will not be able to meet the target of 327 runs today due to their poor performance from the start which did not allow them to collect runs, and today's match is going to be a great win for India.

India won the toss against South Africa and took the right decision first. Just as India won the toss and batted first, South Africa would have batted first if they had won the toss. In this World Cup tournament we have seen South Africa win most of the matches by batting first. India batted first to win the toss against South Africa and scored 326 runs in 50 overs, ie a target of 327 runs for South Africa in this match. Virat Kohli played a brilliant innings on his birthday.

Batting against India with a target of 327 runs, South Africa lost one wicket for the first 7 runs. As South Africa lost a wicket early on, they could lose more wickets in the power play. If India can pick up just two more wickets in the power play then they will surely win this match.

Looks like South Africa is screwed because 327 is a great target on such a slow pitch though it might get a bit easier for them if dew comes into play. Chasing such a target against an amazing Indian bowling lineup will be tough as hell.

I smiled watching Kohli bring up his 49th freaking century on his birthday equalingTendulkar's crazy record. Magical stuff!

India has given a target of 327 runs to South Africa. India's bowling line is very strong we saw India play against Sri Lanka Indian bowlers bowled brilliantly. Due to their good bowling, India managed to bowl out Sri Lanka for 55 runs. In today's match too we expect to see some great balls from India's Md Sami and Siraj. South Africa's batting line is very strong, they have the ability to score 400 runs. It now remains to be seen how many runs India's bowlers can restrict South Africa to. India vs South Africa match cannot be said in advance which team will win. Because both teams are very strong.  In the end, we have to wait to see which team wins.

What a wonderful moment for Virat Kohli to get a 100th on this 35th birthday. He has an equal record of Sachin Tendulkar of making the most centuries for the Indian team in an ODI.

He received a standing ovation from the crowd at Eden Gardens, Kolkata.




This is Kohli's second century in this World Cup. Kohli batted slowly to score a century in today's match. Kohli got out after collecting 85 runs against Australia, 95 runs against New Zealand, and 88 runs against Sri Lanka. So Kohli didn't take any risk in today's match. He batted responsibly and played an excellent innings of 101 not out. Although his strike rate was only 83. However, India has already qualified for the semi-finals. So the match is not very important for them.

The South African team chased runs in two matches in this World Cup. Their performance in both these matches was poor. It will not be easy to do well against a formidable Indian bowling attack in today's match. The match will be very exciting today.

India vs South Africa in today's 37th ICC match, India won the toss and batted. From the start of today's match, the way India is batting brilliantly on their own home ground, it looks like they will score a lot of runs. We know that the strongest teams in the current season are India and South Africa where they are making great runs in every match and beating the opposition by huge margins. And today's match will be most interesting as both teams are very strong and they will try hard enough to win. I think in today's match, if the Indian team can score 400 runs in the first innings, then they will definitely beat South Africa. In the beginning, if the batting performance of the two batsmen who are in the opening pair is sustained till 15 overs, then maybe they will be able to score 150 plus runs if they form a partnership. India have the best batting performance in today's match as they have been increasing the run rate from the start but how well South Africa can bowl will depend on their players. India's current run rate is 11.25 per over, currently collecting 45 runs in 4 overs.
The Indian team is slowly moving towards the big target. But now Kohli is batting very carefully. He is unbeaten on 77 runs off 99 balls. Kohli wants to score a century in today's match. Kohli's strike rate is only 76. But if he stays at the crease, I believe that his strike rate will definitely be more than 120. India team collected 243 runs in 41 overs. Batsmen like Kohli, Rahul, Suryakumar and Jadeja are still there. It remains to be seen how much India can muster in 9 overs. However, India's chances of victory are low if the target is given less than 330. Because in the past matches, we have seen great batting from South African batsmen.

After 35 overs, India's batting has become slower. India collected only 34 runs in 36-43 overs. The Indian team could not collect even 5 runs in every over. Kohli's batting is very slow now and KL Rahul is out after collecting only 8 runs from 17 balls. He wasted a lot of balls at crucial moments. And batting like this, it will be difficult for India to score 300 runs. However, I considered South Africa as the favorite in this match. But two Indian bowlers Mohammad Siraj and Mohammad Shami are in great form now. I am waiting to see how South African batsmen will bat against these two bowlers.

The big match is coming up in a few minutes between India and South Africa. India won the toss and chose to bat first. So, India will test the chasing potential of this South African team. The pitch will help both seamers and spinners. The par score on this wicket should be around 300, looking at the batting of both sides. It will be interesting to see how India will start the proceedings. I think Rohit will try to dominate the bowling lineup. Both teams have good bowling attacks. India is the favourite to win this contest. Let's see if South Africa can surprise them with a chase.

Its very difficult Srilanka beat NewZealand because Srilanka is weak team they all out against India in just 55 runs. Afghanistan is also strong team if they beat Australia or South Africa in their Next match, they have good chance to qualify for semifinals of world cup. If Pakistan want to quality for semifinals they beat England by huge margin approx 150 plus scores, then their Net runrate important very much and they have very good chances to qualify for semis. The match of Sirlanka and NewZealand is very important, i hope Srilanka will comeback and beat NewZealand

After yesterday's loss NZ know that they must have to win there game against SL with huge win to keep NRR well above Pakistan.  On the other hand England will try there best not to lose the last game in order to avoid last spot on points table. Pakistan is lagging behind NZ in NRR and that's the only edge NZ have.
