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.

With England batting first and scoring 146 runs, the Proteas turned the match on its head in the middle overs with their outstanding bowling performance. It was a great captaincy by Bavuma and a good fightback by the bowlers that led to the victory. A breakthrough was made by Magala, and from then on, every fall of a wicket inspired the guys to believe. For the Proteas, qualification into the World Cup Super League automatically is crucial following the South Africa vs England series.

There are three formats going on at the moment ODI, test and T20I. Its very difficult now to keep track of which team is best in which format. With first ODI result it seems like SA are good in ODI format but we need to see result of this series before making final conclusion. England made 146 runs in 20 overs yet they were not able to chase down the target.

This year's Cricket World Cup will be very grand All the cricket teams are preparing themselves brilliantly. In this year's World Cup, the Indian team is very promising, besides, these teams have opportunities Australia, New Zealand, England.
Yeh absolutely all team are preparing themselves brilliantly and no doubt due to recent performances of indain team they are favorite for any upcoming competition, but you can't underestimate the main rival of india which is Pakistan. Most of Pakistani player showing phenomenal performances in BPL so I think Pakistan will give tough time to indian batter because of world class bowler and also in batting the current king of ODI format Pakistani Captain Baber Azam has ability to brutally punish every opponent bowler. So keep eyes on them also. Wink

First of all, it was a great performance in South Africa. They did very well too. Give a target close to 300 Rassie got his century. It was a well constructed century as well. Overall a great performance from all the players of South Africa. And we also can see that this performance was not only good in one inning from South Africa. They perform well in both innings. In batting and bowling both.

On the other hand, England's batting performance was not very good. The openers played really well. And the way England started I thought they are going to win. Jason Roy and David Malan performed really well. But other than that, the other batman of England absolutely failed to do any kind of scoring. This is certainly a great performance from South Africa and let's see how they perform going forward.

England's posibility of winning yesterday's match were high but who expected that they lose in that match? In the second innings England bat against 298 runs where Jason Roy and Dawid Malan scored significantly well but other teammates failed. As a result, they had to be defeated even in an easy match. This is the first match of the series there will have two matches left so England will be desperate to keep the series alive.
Myself believed England will win the match till it was 266/7. Once England lost the wicket of Sam Curran I lost the hope, because the tail end players can't be expected to score against the bowlers of South Africa. Anrich Nortje contributed good taking 4 wickets. For England the opening is good, and the middle order didn't contribute. If the middle order had added few runs, the tail end would've taken the match towards a win as there won't be much of pressure.
At one point England totally owned that game but last 3 wickets fell quickly and they lost the game.
South Africa ballers definitely nailed it and they earned this victory for their country,  although they managed to give a good target of 295 but for England apparently that was easy to chase which didn't happen obviously due to good balling side if South Africa.

Jason Roy returned to the dressing room with 113 runs. I thought Jason Roy would score around 130-150 runs. However, there are still experienced players like Buttler and Curran at the crease. Moeen Ali got out after collecting only 11 runs. England still needs 70 runs to win. Apart from Buttler and Curran, there are no experienced batsmen. If these two batsmen cannot stay at the crease then England will not be able to win. Anyway now I am enjoying the match. I expect England to win.
After a great start from England chasing a total of 298 runs, they are struggling as South Africa was able to pick wickets at regular intervals and England already lost their 7th wicket. The only hope is Sam Curran is still in the crease with the tail end and they still need 42 runs to win the match which is going to be really tough and i had to cash out the bet as i am not having any hope with the tail  Angry.
This is the very crucial part of the match, because fall of wickets could change the result of the match. England have lost the wicket of Sam Curran and now they're in need of another 33 runs in 48 balls. This is reall tough scenario as both the teams do the best to win the match. Adil Rashid at 10* and Archer into the crease need to have patience while scoring as they don't have wickets.

Openers Jason Roy and Dawid Milan started the innings responsibly but the rest of the team's batsmen performed poorly. I expected better performances from Buttler and Moeen Ali. But at the end of the day England team was defeated by 27 runs. After collecting 146 runs in the first wicket pair, it is a shame not to win. The batsmen batted like fools. England's collection was 146 in just 19.3 overs. England was in control of the match. England lost this match because of the stupidity of the batsmen.
South Africa's team was looking strong in this match. England also tried very well. Both teams were good. In my point of view the match was interesting. South Africa made 298 runs and they gave 7 wickets but on the other hand England was trying to win but unfortunately England's team got all out in 44 overs and made only 271 runs. From South Africa team Rassie made century(111) on 117 balls.
And in the England team Jasson played well he made 113 runs on 91 balls.
Both teams played well.

A shameful defeat for the world champions after having 146 runs first wicket stand they lost this match by 27 runs amazing fight back by South African which are having tag of Chokers, but today they have done good job and fight back very bravely even Jason Roy done good job but after the fall of Jason Roy no English batsman able to play for the win, and they lost quick wickets and match very quickly with this win now South African feel better because this is most wanted win for them if they want to direct entry into World Cup2023.

Youngster Magala and Nortje both were hero's for the home team as both done good bowling after bad start from them but with the better strategy and consistency they were able to achieve their target even many were feeling this is not good score by South African batting but their bowlers done amazing job and give them lead in this series.

Today's South Africa vs England match saw a lot of joy from the cricket lovers at the beginning of the game.  England have been performing very well in the cricket world but today's match was completely different.  South Africa will perform so well Van der Dussen scored a century with 111 runs.  Meanwhile, England's Roy scored 113 runs off 91 balls.  Despite Roy's good performance, he could not take the team to the top because of his bowling and some of the batting went out for zero runs.  It is never possible for Eka to win the team but he has shown very good performance for the team.

However, Jason Roy is still unbeaten at the crease with 94 runs. And if Roy is at the crease then England will win the match. But now if Jason Roy is out then it will not be easy for England to win this match. Roy must try to survive the creek. Because after losing three consecutive wickets, the England team is now in a lot of trouble.
England has lost their 7th wicket just now. They need 43 more runs from the last 10 overs. England should have an easy victory in this match for their successful opening partnership. But the situation of the game has changed unexpectedly. The betting odds was 1.12× for England win a few minutes ago. Now the odds is getting in favour of South Africa.

England lost their first wicket for 146 runs. But they lost three wickets within 152 runs. Ben Duckett 3 and Harry Brook returned to the dressing room for 0 runs. They should have batted more responsibly. However, Jason Roy is still unbeaten at the crease with 94 runs. And if Roy is at the crease then England will win the match. But now if Jason Roy is out then it will not be easy for England to win this match. Roy must try to survive the creek. Because after losing three consecutive wickets, the England team is now in a lot of trouble.
Agreed about this all suddenly three wickets bring back South Africa into match now all depend on this last pair which is at the crease because after them England having very long tail with Moeen Ali and Sam Curran can do batting but right now required runs are still 133 with 25 overs left.
Jason Roy is in good touch with having blasting Century on just 79 balls, but now it's time to have calm down and spend good time on crease for having better end of this match after having ideal start with opening stand of 146 South African attack are not looking as they have to be for this first ODI against world champions.

Jason Roy returned to the dressing room with 113 runs. I thought Jason Roy would score around 130-150 runs. However, there are still experienced players like Buttler and Curran at the crease.

England lost 1st wicket on 146 runs and after that they didn't build any good partnership,  their batting lineup is almost put and back to pavilion,  now  Sam Curran and jos butler is left who can compete remaining runs . Outstanding innings by Jason Roy,  still England has great margin to win as they have plenty of balls and 5 wickets in hand .
