Cricket World Cup 2023: Dominant South Africa Thrash Lacklustre Australia By 134 runs

South Africa reaffirmed their standing as critical contenders as their pacers fired in tandem after Quinton de Kock’s blazing century, paving the best way for a dominant 134-run win over Australia within the World Cup in Lucknow on Thursday. If de Kock confirmed his class with a masterful 109 off 106 balls to take the Proteas to 311/7, the quick bowlers have been at their ruthless greatest,…

In a hazy Dhaka on Monday, Bangladesh captain Najmul Hossain Shanto won the toss and chose to bat first in the highly anticipated first Test against South Africa. This decision reflects the team’s strategy to build a solid first-innings score on a pitch that may assist spinners as the match progresses.

Bumrah reaches 200 wickets with the best average in Test cricke

No bowler before Jasprit Bumrah has reached 200 wickets with an average of less than 20. For a bowler whose Test career is filled with stunning dismissals, Bumrah’s 200th wicket was relatively simple – Travis Head flicking straight to midwicket. However, Bumrah reached this milestone with remarkable statistics, solidifying his place among the greatest bowlers. / Out of the 85 bowlers who have taken 200 or more Test wickets, 12 achieved this feat in fewer games than Bumrah, who was playing his 44th Test at the MCG. In terms of bowling average, Bumrah is at the top with an average of 19.56 per wicket. He is the first bowler to concede fewer than 4000 runs for his first 200 wickets. / Bumrah’s strike rate of 42.4 – a wicket every seven overs – is only surpassed by Waqar Younis, Dale Steyn, and Kagiso Rabada, all experts with both the new and old ball. / Bumrah’s record in South Africa, England, New Zealand, and Australia also stands out. He holds the highest percentage of wickets for an Indian fast bowler in these countries. Sixty-four of Bumrah’s first 200 wickets have been of top-three batters. He has dismissed openers 50 times (25%) and the number three batsman 14 times (7%). The number four position often represents the most renowned batter in the team, and Bumrah has dismissed the No. 4 batsman 30 times (15%). Bumrah’s percentage of top-four wickets (47%) is the seventh best overall and the best for India. Among all batters, Bumrah has dismissed Joe Root the most (nine times). Pat Cummins follows with eight dismissals, and Travis Head comes next with six, including two dismissals in the MCG Test. Bumrah’s excellence in all formats has meant India needs to carefully manage his workload. Since his debut in 2018, he has missed 18 out of 30 home Tests due to injuries or workload management, but only eight away Tests, primarily due to injury. As a result, 153 of his first 200 Test wickets have come away from home. His bowling average at home is superior to his away numbers, which are equally impressive. India’s focus on keeping Bumrah fit for high-profile matches has meant more games against Australia and England, the two teams against whom he has claimed the most wickets. The one team he has struggled against is New Zealand: an average of 45.44 with just nine wickets from five Tests. Bumrah averages an outstanding 14.4 for his 110 wickets in 20 Test wins for India. The next three Indian bowlers on this list, with a minimum of 100 wickets, are all spinners – Anil Kumble (18.75), R Ashwin (18.99), and Ravindra Jadeja (19.65).

[ad_1] Squad for Australia and South Africa for the Champions Trophy 2025 (PC: Cricket Australia and ProteasMen/X) What flashes in your mind while imagining South Africa’s chances in ICC tournaments? Perhaps, it would be about missed opportunities and heartbreaks. However, amid all those gut-wrenching moments, there is one silver lining – South Africa’s only triumph in an ICC event came in a tournament which happens to be the previous version of the Champions Trophy – ICC Knockout tournament in 1998. So, maybe, the 27-year jinx would come to an end for South Africa, in the upcoming Champions Trophy, in February and March this year. For starters, the squad that they have assembled is a good one. For the opening slots, South Africa have enough options to partner Temba Bavuma – Ryan Rickleton and Tony de Zorzi. The shot-maker also has been in good form, having recently scored a double ton in a Test match against Pakistan. Rickleton also has some big shoes to fill as he will be assigned wicketkeeping duties, with the  retirement of Quinton de Kock. De Zorzi also is known for playing a range of shots. If needed, South Africa can even promote Aiden Markram to top order positions. Rob Walter, the white-ball coach of South Africa, said: “Temba and Tony have been at the top of the order and both done a really good job. There’s a potential for a few changes at the top of the order to give us a different balance of our side, which we may look into as we get closer to the tournament. A guy like Aidan Markram can be considered there in those two top spots.” Rassir van der Dussan, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Tristan Stubbs and Wiaan Mulder make up a formidable middle-order. Among the lot, there are a few question marks over Miller. Is age catching up with one of the stalwarts of South Africa’s limited-overs cricket? The southpaw looked bereft of confidence in the ODI series versus Pakistan. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here Australia with the 2023 ODI World Cup in India (PC: X) The salient feature of South Africa’s fast-bowling resources is the inclusion of Anrich Nortje. Since opting out of a central contract last year, Nortje has been missing from South Africa’s starting line-ups. He has also been laid low by a string of injuries. Nortje, one of the quickest bowlers in world cricket, was selected ahead of Gerald Coetzee, who in turn was in impressiver form during the 2023 World Cup. Perhaps Nortje’s experience of having played more games in subcontinental conditions gave him a slight edge over Coetzee. Lungi Ngidi, another experienced pacer, too has made a comeback from an injury. Meanwhile, Nandre Burger, the left-arm fast bowler, is out of contention with a back problem. Tabraiz Shamsi and Keshav Maharaj will once more spearhead the spin attack. Maharaj, in particular, has grown in his role. The left-arm spinner is now pretty good at mixing up his pace and is also ready to give a bit of air from time to time. He would have to draw upon all his experiences to succeed, as at venues like in Karachi, the dew could come into the picture. Verdict – South Africa once again look good to reach the semifinals from Group B. South Africa squad: Temba Bavuma (c), Tony de Zorzi, Marco Jansen, Heinrich Klaasen, Keshav Maharaj, Aiden Markram, David Miller, Wiaan Mulder, Lungi Ngidi, Anrich Nortje, Kagiso Rabada, Ryan Rickelton, Tabraiz Shamsi, Tristan Stubbs, Rassie van der Dussen. South Africa at the 2023 ODI World Cup in India (PC: X) Alongside South Africa, Afghanistan and England, Australia are also part of what looks like a tough group. In stark contrast to South Africa, Australia excelled in crunch situations, in ICC tournaments. They are the current holders of the 50-over World Cup trophy, having surprised the red hot Indian team, in their own den, in the summit clash. The one setback is Pat Cummins, the captain, is presently battling an ankle injury. The fast bowler partook in a five-match Test series against India, which could have aggravated his injury.

“We’ll work through that with Pat and obviously the selection panel and the medical team…but I know he’s very keen,” said George Bailey, the chief of selectors. Cummins’ pace colleagues – Josh Hazlewood (calf problem) and Mitchell Starc (rib issue) have also had to wade through their share of injuries in the recent past. That is also an indicator that Australia are an ageing set-up. Even fringe players like Josh Inglis, Matthew Short and Nathan Ellis are around the 30-year-mark. The youngest member of the squad is the 25-year-old, seam-bowling all-rounder, Aaron Hardie. It is true that Australia are still winning almost all the trophies. But there could come a time when some of Australia’s veteran players would be out of form and they might have to usher in changes. On paper, Australia have a settled side. The one missing link is the opener, David Warner, who in turn has retired from international cricket. So, Mitchell Marsh, the all-rounder, might end up opening the batting alongside the dangerous Travis Head. Matthew Short, who has had his issues against spin, could also be tried. The middle order would comprise the experienced trio of Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschage and Glenn Maxwell. Josh Inglis, who had the honour of leading Australia in an ODI series versus Pakistan, could pip Alex Carey in relation to wicketkeeping duties. The former is known for playing spin reasonably well. On the other hand, Australia would bank on Adam Zampa to snuff out batters in the middle overs, with his box of tricks. Verdict – It would take a very brave man to bet against Australia not making it to the last-four of an ICC event. Although there is a gut feel that at some point they would not progress to the later stages of a 50-over ICC tournament. Is this the one?

Bumrah, Bavuma, Babar, and Boland all improve in the ICC ranking.

Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada have risen to the second and third positions among bowlers, respectively, in the most recent ICC Test rankings, while Josh Hazlewood has fallen out of the top three. After recent impressive performances, Marco Jansen completes the top five.

The batting rankings have been greatly impacted by South Africa's outstanding batting performance against Pakistan in the second Test, as they amassed 615 runs in their opening innings. Ryan Rickelton's outstanding 259 sent him up 48 spots to No. 55, while Temba Bavuma's century (106) catapulted him to a career-high No. 6. Additionally, Kyle Verreynne improved, climbing four spots to No. 24 following a century.

Babar Azam of Pakistan advanced to No. 12 after scoring 58 and 81 in his most recent games, bringing him closer to the top ten. After India's recent loss in Sydney, Rishabh Pant made a remarkable comeback, moving up three spots to No. 9 after scoring 40 and 61. In third place, behind world No. 1 Joe Root and second-place Harry Brook, is his teammate Yashasvi Jaiswal. The rankings show how international cricket is changing and show notable changes after heavy Test match activity.
