South Africa is going in style for the semi-final of the Cricket World Cup 2023. now they are on the top of the point table. Before, in any ICC competition, south Africans needed more luck to win the trophy. But this time, they are fighting very easily.
When the World Cup competition starts, they are on the table for the semi-final. But no one thought it would be possible in this way. Back-to-back centuries from Quinton de cock made their way with an indefinite arrival for the top four teams. Believe it or not, de cock made four very hard-hitting four centuries without any mercy for the opponent. Even van der Dussen, a quality, stylish batter, constantly attempts to attack any bowler of any team.
South Africa is one of the balanced sides in this World Cup, without a doubt. They are very aggressive on the field. Batters, bowlers, fielders, plus wicketkeeper-batsman cock with spinner Maharaj. What they can not do? Who is bavuma ? Just a captain. No runs coming from him. But he does not need to worry about it. Everything is happening automatically. Proper planning, very polite captaincy, and a gentle game of cricket display as much as possible they could give to the cricket world is unacceptable.
Indian wickets are always tricky for such teams. But South Africans always succeed on those wickets, except for the Netherlands. But it may happened for good reason. Winning nine-plus matches like this kind of competitive tournament is very rare. At any point, they will lose a game. It may be in the first round, semi-final, or even final. If they win all matches in the first round like India, but if they lose in the semi-final, there is no point in what they gain in the preliminary games.
The next match will be their most demanding game, with India on Indian soil. Both teams are exceptional. But India is an undefeated team until today. They will play their seventh match with collapsed Sri Lanka. But Sri Lanka will never give up. Sri Lanka has an old game to play against India. They lost to India in the Asian Cup shamelessly on their grounds. This is an opportunity to equal that embarrassment. Also, Sri Lanka must hang with other teams to fight for the semi-final. If they win the last three games with India, Bangladesh and New Zealand, they can get ten points in the table. That will be hard, but Sri Lankans are unbelievable when playing this kind of cricket—any time, they will rise from the ash like Phonix. Anyway, we will see what happens after this match. India did not lose one game. Maybe this will be the one they are going to lose.
