IND vs SA Highlights, Cricket World Cup 2023
Dominating IND vs. SA India defeats South Africa by 243 runs in Kolkata, extending their winning streak in the ODI World Cup to eight matches. This was India’s ninth win in a row, extending their unbeaten streak in the tournament. With Ravindra Jadeja’s five-wicket haul, a rampaging India ran wild at Eden Gardens, decimating South Africa by 243 runs in the race for first and second place in the points table.
South Africa’s team got off to a bad start when Mohammed Siraj removed the in-form Quinton de Kock for 5, and the Proteas lost their opening wicket for 6. Temba Bavuma and Rassie van der Dussen played conservatively, but the required run-rate increased. Ravindra Jadeja entered the attack in the ninth over and removed skipper Bavuma for 11 to leave South Africa at 22/2 after 8.3 overs.
Mohammed Shami was called into the attack in the next over, and the in-form pader sent Aiden Markram packing for 9 caught behind by KL Rahul, putting Proteas in trouble at 35/3. All-rounder Jadeja struck again, this time catching Heinrich Klaasen leg before wicket for one run, leaving South Africa at 40/4. Shami took his second victim in the next over, knocking Rassie van der Dussen leg before wicket for 13 as the Proteas lost half their side for 40 runs.
South Africa reached 50 runs in 15 overs thanks to David Miller and Marco Jansen. South Africa’s sixth wicket fell for 59 runs after Jadeja cleaned up Miller. The star Indian all-rounder seemed unstoppable, cleaning teammate Keshav Maharaj for seven runs to put South Africa in turmoil at 67/7. Kuldeep Yadav also joined the party, dismissing Marco Jansen, who was caught by Jadeja, with Proteas at 79/8.
In the next over, Jadeja claimed his fifth scalp, knocking Kagiso Rabada for 6. Kuldeep Yadav bowled Lungi Ngidi for a duck as the South African team was knocked out for 83 and India recorded yet another 243-run victory. Virat Kohli blasted a record-equaling 49th ODI century and had a 134-run partnership with Shreyas Iyer as India delighted the Eden crowd in their World Cup match against South Africa, amassing 326 for five.
When he reached three figures in a World Cup match against South Africa on Sunday, Virat Kohli equaled Sachin Tendulkar’s record of 49 one-day international hundreds. Kohli reached the milestone in 119 balls, including 10 fours, at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on his 35th birthday.
Continuing his high-risk approach, Rohit Sharma gave India a flying start, but South Africa knocked the skipper and his opening partner Shubhman Gill out of their World Cup encounter here on Sunday. The Proteas left them struggling at 105 for two after 15 overs, despite Rohit hitting a 24-ball 40 and sharing a 62-run opening combination with Shubman Gill.
India makes no changes, while the Proteas make one alteration to their starting XI. Bavuma has chosen to play an additional spinner in the side, implying that the Eden Gardens surface may be dry. With the two sides sitting at the top of the ICC World Cup 2023 Points Table, the IND-SA matchup is sure to be exciting.
Former India captain Virat Kohli has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to record his 49th ODI century on his birthday. If Kohli reaches this mark, he would join his idol Sachin Tendulkar as the players with the most hundreds in 50-over cricket.
India is the only team that have officially qualified for the knockout stages of the ICC World Cup 2023, in a series of firsts. The Men in Blue are also the only team to have won all seven of their games so far. India, who have been without star all-rounder Hardik Pandya in recent matches, have now received word that the Indian vice-captain will miss the 2023 World Cup owing to an ankle injury sustained in the Bangladesh game.
So far, Rohit’s team has had a fairytale World Cup run, with both India’s spinners and batsmen ranking in the top five. While Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have led the Indian batting, the trio of Shami, Siraj, and Bumrah have made the white ball do anything they want.South Africa, on the other side, has made a statement with their World Cup performances.
Apart from a solitary defeat to the Netherlands, the Proteas have been in superb form with both bat and ball. Quinton de Kock and skipper Temba Bavuma have helped the Africans create a good foundation for lower-order batsmen like Klaasen and Miller to exploit. India chose the same team that defeated Sri Lanka, with all-rounder Hardik Pandya ruled out for the rest of the tournament owing to an ankle injury.
