ICC ODI World Cup has started. All the teams have played two matches each. India has won both its matches. Whereas five-time world champion Australia has not been able to regain its rhythm yet. In the first match against Australia, India had registered six wins at the Chepauk Stadium in Chennai. Now South Africa has given the second blow to Australia. South Africa has defeated Australia by 134 runs at Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. After this defeat, Australia has reached the bottom 9th position in the points table.
Difficult path ahead for Australia
It may be difficult for Australia to make a comeback after two consecutive defeats. In the league stage of the World Cup, all 10 teams have to play nine matches each. After this, the semi-final match will be played between the top four teams in the points table. In which the two best teams of the world will play the final of ODI World Cup 2023 on 19th November at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
Batsmen sank Australia
Australia’s biggest flaw in this World Cup has been its batting. Australia’s top order batsmen are not able to give a great start to their team. The same was seen in the match against India also. Indian bowlers made Australian batsmen helpless. Apart from David Warner and Steven Smith, no batsman could cross the 30-run mark. Five batsmen could not even cross the 10 mark. Indian spinners dismissed six Australian batsmen in Chennai. Ravindra Jadeja took three wickets.
South Africa beat Australia by 177 runs
Talking about the second match, South Africa, batting first, set a target of 312 runs for Australia. Opener Quinton De Kock played a brilliant inning of 109 runs in 106 balls. Aidan Markram also scored a half-century. In reply, Australia’s batsmen made a very poor start and the entire team was out on the score of 177 in 44.5 overs. At one time Australia’s score was 70/6. After that, Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Starc tried to handle the innings but this pair also could not make a long partnership. Five batsmen could not even cross double figures.
Australia could not even reach the score of 200 in both the matches
Australia could not even cross the 200 mark in both its matches. In the match against India, the team batted first and was limited to 199 runs, only Steve Smith scored the maximum of 46 runs. David Warner also played an inning of 41 runs. The situation was similar in the second match against South Africa. Chasing the target of 312 runs, Australia could score only 177 runs. The maximum score in this match was 46 runs. After this no batsman could even touch the figure of 30.
Many shortcomings in the bowling department also
The team is playing with only expert spinner Adam Zampa. Spinners play a decisive role on Indian pitches. But Australia has more confidence in its fast bowlers. In the first match against India, Australian bowlers were able to dismiss only four batsmen, that too at a time when three of India’s wickets had fallen at the score of two runs. All three batsmen were out on zero. After that the bowlers had to yearn for wickets. By the time he dismissed Virat Kohli on the score of 85 in the 38th over, India was very close to victory. Due to poor performance of the bowlers, the team has to use makeshift bowlers.
The eighth match of the World Cup was played between Pakistan and Sri Lanka on Tuesday. Pakistan won the match by defeating Sri Lanka. Pakistan’s wicketkeeper batsman Mohammad Rizwan played an unbeaten inning of 131 runs. Rizwan hit eight fours and three sixes in his innings. Young Abdullah Shafiq, who played with him on the pitch, scored his first ODI century. Due to which Pakistan made the record of achieving the biggest target in the World Cup by scoring 345 runs for 4 wickets. After the victory, Mohammad Rizwan gave a big statement. He dedicated his victory to the people of Gaza.
Rizwan expressed his views by tweeting on X
Rizwan later wrote on X, ‘This is for our brothers and sisters of Gaza. Happy to contribute to the victory. Credit goes to the entire team, especially Abdullah Shafiq and Hasan Ali for making this victory easy. Grateful to the people of Hyderabad for their wonderful hospitality and support.
Pakistan made a new run-chase record
Apart from Rizwan, young Abdullah Shafiq scored his first ODI century. He played an inning of 113 runs. In his innings he hit 10 fours and three sixes. Both the batsmen together helped Pakistan register its biggest win against Sri Lanka in Hyderabad. Pakistan team created history by achieving a world-record target of 345 runs. Rizwan along with Shafiq made a match-winning partnership of 176 runs for the third wicket, which helped Pakistan win in 48.2 overs. This was the most successful run-chase in the history of the World Cup. Earlier, Ireland held the record for the highest run chase in an ODI World Cup, when they successfully chased 329 runs against England during the 2011 World Cup in India.
Rizwan also performed well against Netherlands
The second match of the World Cup and the first match of Pakistan team was played at Rajiv Gandhi International Cricket Stadium in Hyderabad. In the match, Rizwan played an innings of 68 runs in 75 balls, which included eight fours. Mohammad Rizwan appeared in form in both the matches. While he scored a half-century in the first match, he played a century in the second match.
Pakistan’s next match with India
Pakistan has been performing well since the beginning of the World Cup campaign. Pakistani team will play against India on October 14 at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India has won its first match against Australia and on Wednesday, India is playing its second match with Afghanistan. It remains to be seen whether Rizwan’s bat will also speak against India or whether Rizwan will fall prey to India’s spin bowlers.

Among fast bowlers, Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets for 35 runs while Mohammad Siraj and Hardik Pandya took one wicket each. The way India started their batting would have shocked the heart of any cricket lover in the country. The Indian team had lost three wickets in the first two overs while its score was only two runs.
India vs Australia
This is also India’s minimum score in ODI with the fall of three wickets. Even these two runs of India did not come from the bat. Ishan Kishan, who opened the innings in place of unwell Shubman Gill, played a loose shot off Starc and was caught in the slips in the very first over. He returned to the pavilion after scoring a ‘golden duck’. This was Starc’s 50th wicket in the World Cup.
India vs Australia
Josh Hazlewood (3 for 38) trapped captain Rohit Sharma LBW in the next over and got Shreyas Iyer, who came to take his place, caught at cover. Both these batsmen also could not open the account. Hazlewood would have also got the wicket of Kohli but when this batsman was playing on 12 runs, Mitchell Marsh dropped his easy catch.
India vs Australia
India had scored 27 runs for three wickets in the first 10 overs. Kohli energized the audience by hitting two consecutive fours on Cameron Green in the 15th over. After this, Rahul spoiled Australia’s strategy by hitting three fours in the first over of leg spinner Adam Zampa.
India vs Australia
There were no visible irregularities in the pitch and both the batsmen did not show any haste because they knew that the target was not very big and any haste could prove costly for the team. Kohli played 75 balls for his 67th half-century in ODIs and with this, India’s score also reached triple digits in 26 overs. After this, Rahul completed his 16th half-century in 72 balls.
India vs Australia

India vs Australia
Rahul sent the ball to Glenn Maxwell for six. He could have reached his century by hitting fours and sixes but he thought it best to hit the winning six on Pat Cummins. Thus, India won the match by six wickets and KL Rahul sacrificed his century.

Ishan Kishan got a chance in place of Shubman Gill
Talking about the conditions, Rohit said that the conditions are favorable for the bowlers. And as the game progresses the ball will turn, you need to understand which line and length to bowl. Adjustments will have to be made accordingly. We have played a lot of cricket before that. We played two good series before the practice games, we have overcome all the shortcomings.
Rohit Sharma is the oldest captain
Rohit Sharma has also made a record in his name as soon as he stepped on the field as captain for this match. He has become the oldest captain of India to captain in the World Cup.

Sri Lanka’s decision to bowl first after winning the toss did not prove correct. The wicket was favorable for batting and Sri Lanka’s bowling attack had weakened due to injuries to some key players.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
Dilshan Madhushanka had given a good start to Sri Lanka by LBWing Temba Bavuma (08) in the beginning but after that his bowlers could not leave any impact. De Kock, who had decided to retire from ODIs after this tournament, batted in his evergreen style and completed the 18th century of his career, while Dussen supported him well and scored his fifth century in his 50th ODI match.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
This partnership was broken due to De Kock’s dismissal, but this did not provide any relief to the Sri Lankan bowlers. Markram scored a lot of runs as soon as he came on the crease and broke the record of the fastest century in the World Cup held by Kevin O’Brien of Ireland. O’Brien scored a century in 50 balls in 2011. Sri Lankan spinners did not get any help from the pitch.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
The situation was such that 85 runs were scored from 19th to 29th over. Sri Lanka’s fielding was also not good and its players also gave some chances to the South African batsmen. After this, while batting, the Sri Lankan team looked under pressure of a big target from the very beginning. His troubles increased due to the early dismissal of his openers Pathum Nissanka (00) and Kusal Perera (07). Both of them were bowled by fast bowler Yansen.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
As soon as Kusal Mendis came, he adopted an aggressive attitude and hit a flurry of sixes. He hit four fours and eight sixes in his innings, which also included three sixes hit in one over by Lungi Ngidi. Mendis was given out LBW early on but thanks to DRS he remained at the crease. He also broke the record of Sanath Jayasuriya (seven) for hitting most sixes in an innings for Sri Lanka in the World Cup.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
Mendis completed his half-century in only 25 balls. They made a partnership of 66 runs for the second wicket in which Perera’s contribution was only seven runs. Rabada gave a big relief to South Africa by getting Mendis caught behind the wicket. Sadira Samarawickrama (23) and Dhananjay de Silva (11) also could not play long innings and thus half of the Sri Lankan team reached the pavilion after reaching the score of 150 runs.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka, CWC 2023
Asalanka scored a half-century in the World Cup debut match itself. He made a partnership of 82 runs with Shanaka for the sixth wicket. Asalanka hit eight fours and four sixes in his innings.

Sunday 8th October cricket world cup 2023 Before its opening match, the Indian cricket team is facing a big worry. India’s star batsman Shubman Gill is suspected to be suffering from dengue and his chances of playing in Sunday’s match against Australia are very slim. In case of Gill being out, Ishan Kishan can start the innings. Although KL Rahul Has also played the role of Team India’s opening batsman on many occasions. BCCI has not yet clarified anything about Gill’s illness. It has been said in BCCI’s medical update that his health is bad. The medical team is keeping a close eye on him. We are hoping that he will get better soon. We should wait for further updates from the medical team.
Rahul Dravid said this
India head coach Rahul Dravid provided more updates on the team’s swashbuckling opening batsman Shubman Gill. Dravid said during a press conference, ‘Today he is definitely feeling better. The medical team is monitoring on a daily basis. We have 36 hours and we will see what they decide.
Shubman Gill is suffering from high fever
Before their World Cup match, Dravid further said, ‘Gill is definitely feeling better today. The medical team has not yet taken him out. We will continue to monitor them every day. He will be monitored on a day-to-day basis and we will see how he feels the day after tomorrow. Gill, India’s most prolific batsman in ODIs in recent times, is reportedly suffering from high fever and was to be tested for dengue on Friday before a final decision on the matter is taken. However, it is not clear whether Gill is suffering from dengue.
BCCI did not confirm
News agency PTI quoted a BCCI source as saying that Shubman Gill has high fever after landing in Chennai. Their tests are being conducted. He will undergo tests on Friday and a decision will be taken on his participation in the opening game. The report also said that it has been learned that Gill is being tested again for dengue and if it is confirmed, he may miss some matches.
Gill may miss the opening match
It usually takes 7-10 days for any player to recover from dengue and become fit for the match. If there is a significant drop in platelet count, it may take longer. If Gill suffers from dengue, he will miss not only the matches against Australia but also against Afghanistan (October 11) and Pakistan (October 14). This will be a big blow for Team India.
Gill is in great form
The team management believes that it is too early to make any kind of speculation regarding Gill. If it is a normal fever then Gill will be fit to play in two days. For this reason the medical team is continuously monitoring him. If Gill is not in a position to play, he may be rested from the match against Australia. Gill has scored 1,200 runs this season. If he remains absent for a long time then it can be a big blow for the Indian team.

MD of Ekana Cricket Stadium, Uday Sinha said that there are nine pitches in the stadium. Of which five pitches are made of red soil and four pitches are made of black soil. The game will be played on both the pitches. The curator went and investigated it completely. The pitch is excellent, pitches of very good standard have been prepared. Players will perform well here.

There is no shortage of money here. When the ODI World Cup was held for the first time in 1975, the winner received prize money of 9000 pounds. This time, 32.79 lakh pounds (~33.20 crore) will be given to the winner, increased by 365 times. You can see below how the changes took place in the ODI World Cup during these 48 years. The countdown for World Cup 2023 has started. This year India is hosting the World Cup as a full-time host. It also remains to be seen whether India can repeat the history of 2011 by winning the match at home for the second time.
West Indies was champion in the first match played in 1975
Gavaskar’s innings of 36 runs in 174 balls were talked about more than India’s performance. When the ODI World Cup started for the first time in 1975, there was not that much glamour. There was a shortage of teams to play 60 overs matches in white attire. Instead of qualifying matches, the World Cup started with eight teams. This World Cup is known as Prudential World Cup. Prudential Insurance Company sponsored it. The first group had teams from England, New Zealand, India and East Africa, while the second group had West Indies, Australia, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. In the match against England, Sunil Gavaskar batted the entire 60 overs and scored only 36 runs in 174 balls. He had hit only one four in his innings. The first century of the World Cup was also scored in this match. England batsman Dennis Amiss had played an innings of 137 runs. The first World Cup was won by West Indies by defeating Australia by 17 runs. He received prize money of 9000 pounds. In the first World Cup, India was successful in winning only by 10 wickets against East Africa.
West Indies champion also in 1979
Australia’s top players did not play due to the World Series. The Kerry Packer World Series was also organized during this World Cup. Australia’s top cricketers rebelled and went to play the World Series. West Indies, which ruled the world of cricket, became world champion for the second time by defeating England by 92 runs in the final. Vivian Richards (138*) and Colin King had performed brilliantly. India could not win any of the three matches of its group.
India became champion in 1983
Kapil Dev’s charismatic players did what no one had even imagined. This played the role of a milestone in the journey of Indian cricket so far. India won the title for the first time by defeating the last two-time champion West Indies. In the final, the Indian team was out for 183 runs, but the West Indies team could only score 140 runs in reply. Mohinder Amarnath and Madan Lal took three wickets each. Kapil’s historic catch of Vivian Richard became the turning point of the match. Earlier, Kapil had single-handedly led India to victory by scoring 175 runs against Zimbabwe.
Australia champion in 1987
