15 matches of the 2023 Cricket World Cup have finished. India, New Zealand, South Africa and Pakistan are in the lead at the end of these 15 matches.
As usual, misfortune has started coming from the back of the South African team. Unexpectedly, South Africa lost by 38 runs in their third match. Today’s match against the Netherlands was the first match that brought misfortune to South Africa. In the face of rain, they played at the Dharamsala, with the weakest team in the tournament. But at the end of the match, everyone must have understood that the Dutch team is not a team that can be underestimated. How strong is it to defeat a strong team like South Africa in a World Cup tournament? But see the historic victory achieved by the Netherlands today.
South Africa could have easily gained two points if they won this game. Not getting the two points will clearly be a significant obstacle to their progress in the World Cup.
Currently, this year’s World Cup is taking a scorching look. From day to day, from match to match, the competition of the tournament is being brought to a high level by the extraordinary events. It started with the fantastic victory achieved by Afghanistan by defeating huge England.
It should be understood that these two matches are a warning to other teams. Especially the Dharamsala stadium is now gradually approaching the winter season. The snow lying on the top of the Himalayas is slowly increasing. The feeling of cold wind mixed with snow blowing through the Dharamsala stadium challenged South Africans. Maybe other teams two. Another two matches are to be held here.
Currently, the Sri Lankan team is at the bottom of the points table, which is very shameful. Looking at how the Netherlands and Afghanistan play. Feel sad if Sri Lanka plays cricket like this. Talking about it is useless. The Sri Lankan team is a sick ward. They look like a group of refugees from a country with no food. They still don’t play together or show any competitiveness. The Sri Lankan cricket team should be different from the team it should be like. They were a very proud team a while ago. They are a team that attacked the world’s strongest cricket teams to hurt them, but today they are helpless. The aim of these players should not be to make Sri Lankan cricket fans sad. However, reaching the tournament’s top takes time and effort in their current situation.
