Yesterday's win may prove to be very crucial for South Africa. Now they have 69 points from 20 matches in the 2020–2023 ICC Cricket World Cup Super League. They just need two more wins to overtake West Indies. It should not be much of a problem, given that two of their remaining matches are against Netherlands. Even then, one more win against England in the remaining two ODIs should place them in a very comfortable position. As things stand now, South Africa will gain direct qualification to the ODI World Cup, while West Indies and Sri Lanka will be playing the qualifier tournament in order to gain entry.
2023 Cricket World Cup Qualifier will run from 18th June to 9th July this year. Apart from the 5 bottom ranking teams from the Cricket World Cup Super League (as per current situation - West Indies, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Zimbabwe and Netherlands), there will be 3 teams from League 2 (most probably Scotland, Oman and Namibia), and 2 teams from the Qualifier Play-off (maybe USA and Nepal?).
After reading this all and checking few details I have feeling this all set up is completely crap because now they have enough teams, and they can go for the qualifiers instead of having eight teams into direct entry and just two will be joined from other teams which is not good idea as things going we need around 14 to 16 teams into ODI world cup and then 18 to 20 into Twenty world cups which will give better marketing about this game, and we will be able to have more countries and region in limelight, but they are doing things like these which are not going to have any positive impact.
Now many countries are increasing their quality and having good performance so with this all just having big-3 now it's time for adding more countries in ICC which will bring better transparency and balance as well because right now just three are doing things for their own sack, and we are going to lose another opportunity for adding themselves into Olympics which is also not good having 14 or 16 full ODI members and then 18 to 20 in T20i will be ideal situation for the all countries as recently we have good response in Women's U-19 world cup things are turning into positive way for this game.
