World Cup 2023 – Final | IND vs AUS
It doesn't get better than this. India and Australia in a World Cup Final, except for the fact that it is 2023 instead of 2003, with Rohit Sharma and Pat Cummins leading their teams into the grand finale to be played at Ahmedabad with the title at stake, which could mean everything for these two sides.
Hosts India have been impressive so far, with everything going in their favour until now, and most of it coming through performances of the entire line-up, with everyone executing their roles brilliantly. The team looks flawless, with confidence sky-high at the moment. Also, they are unlikely to go for a change.
Five-time champions Australia have done enough to get into the finale after their first two losses in the tournament with an eight-match winning streak. Their only problem is regarding fitting Marcus Stoinis into the XI if improving bowling strength is on their mind.

South Africa and Australia in a semi-final is a story long written by these two sides as the rivalry gets to the top of the head in the game where there is more drama than action. Kolkata will witness one of the most historic clashes on 16th November in the second semi-final of the World Cup 2023, as both sides will come out charged.
The Proteas have been fiery and powerful with the bat as they have presented the opposition with a massive challenge of bowling at them in the death, where Aiden Markram, David Miller, Heinrich Klassen and Marco Jansen take the bowlers to cleaners. Their bowling has been high-class, too, with almost every bowler bagging wickets in the crucial stages.
The Aussies are on a seven-match winning streak, with their last loss in the competition coming against the same opposition. However, since then, they have played their traditional style of cricket by displaying a fearless approach.

India will take on New Zealand in 1st semifinal [AP]
The haunted memory of the Manchester 2019 defeat still rings in the minds of those who witnessed it. Four years later, Mumbai will host another epic clash between India and New Zealand in the World Cup 2023 on 15th November with too much on the line and some nightmares to move upon from.
There could never be a better time for the Men in Blue to seek revenge than this one, considering they are playing their best cricket they could ever play with all the boxes ticked in the tournament so far. Hardly any weaknesses and it seems that they will enter the game with an upper hand over their rivals.
The BlackCaps, meanwhile, have blown hot and cold in the tournament because even after a string of losses, they made it through to the next round. Batting against the Indian pacers will be a concern given their track record in the previous games, whereas their bowling needs to step up versus the hosts' top order.

World Cup 2023 – Match 45 | IND vs NED
It's match number 45, the final game of the group stage in the World Cup 2023 happening in Bengaluru, where hosts India are all set to take on the Netherlands on 12th November, with both teams playing for different reasons.
The Men in Blue will have the opportunity to end their campaign on a high after remaining unbeaten for the entire group stage in the preceding eight matches. The combination looks perfectly settled as they look to play the semi-finals against New Zealand on 15th Nov with the side that wants to reach the finale.
The Dutch, on the other spectrum, have had a campaign which they will remember for a long time despite winning just two games as their side have continuously managed to play decent cricket in the tournament. However, now they would want to end it with some further great memories, which means performing against the strongest side in the competition.

It will be the biggest game for Pakistan in this World Cup 2023 as they have to win by a massive margin of 280 runs against England to qualify for the semi-finals by getting New Zealand's NRR on the points table. The penultimate match of the group stage will take place in Kolkata on 11th November, which will also be the day's second match.
Pakistan are riding on a thin piece of thread, and their only chance to get through is if they bat first and, post a total in excess of 350 and get the opposition all-out under 100. For that to happen, Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam will again have to do the bulk of scoring on this tricky pitch.
On the other end, the English have to win this game and make sure they qualify for the Champions Trophy 2025 without much of a hiccup. Pretty much like last game, Ben Stokes will be crucial to their chances with the bat, while spinners Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali will play a vital role with the ball.

Australia will take on Bangladesh today [AP]
After qualifying for the semi-finals in the previous game, Australia will be aiming for another win to finish the group stage on a high, this time against Bangladesh, when they meet in Pune on 11th November in the World Cup 2023's last day game. Meanwhile, the Bangla Tigers would want to ensure they don't finish lower than their current position by losing significantly.
The Kangaroos against Afghanistan were saved by one man, Glenn Maxwell, who took the onus upon himself to save the day for his side. However, it looks unlikely that he will be a part of this game as he is still recovering from cramps, which makes way for Steve Smith, who is now fit.
Bangladesh, meanwhile, are without their skipper Shakib Al Hasan, who has been ruled out after injury. The batting line-up will have to step up and perform well, whereas the bowlers have to bowl the tight lines to the Aussies.

SA and AFG will face each other [AP]
The final game for both South Africa and Afghanistan in the group stage of World Cup 2023 will have little or no bearing on the points table since their fate is already decided in this tournament, but when they clash on 10th November in Ahmedabad, the latter would want to finish on a high.
The Proteas, meanwhile, are already qualified for the semi-finals and will be playing against Australia for a place in the finals. Their batting has been firing guns, and their bowling has done an excellent job in the games so far, apart from the last match versus the hosts India, where they lost by a massive margin of 243 runs.
Afghanistan were on a winning spree when they met Glenn Maxwell in Mumbai, who ruptured their confidence and hope for a next-stage promotion. Winning this game won't just be enough for them as to get past the NRR of New Zealand, they will have to win by a margin of about 439 runs, which seems just unattainable.

New Zealand will be up against Sri Lanka [AP]
The qualification race for the semi-finals of the World Cup 2023 has heated up between three sides that will eventually accommodate just one of them to the next stage, with New Zealand being the prime contender featuring in today's game against Sri Lanka in Bengaluru as rain is likely to play the spoilsport.
The Kiwis are in a challenging position, considering they won their first four games but then lost the next four, but even after all that, they are in the loop to get through to the next stage, which is a big positive for them. A win here, in all likelihood, will ensure a spot unless Pakistan springs a surprise in their upcoming game.
Sri Lanka, on the other end, are dealing with crisis not just inside the dressing room but back home as well with their board. Batting has been doing reasonably well, but bowling seems to be a concern here, with most going for runs.

England will face the Dutch [AP]
The Champions Trophy 2025 qualification will be at stake when the European rivals England and Netherlands go head-to-head in Pune on 8th November as both sides meet in the bottom-of-the-table clash that could really determine their future.
The English side have had a horrible campaign so far with nothing going in their favour, and another defeat would mean that they will find it difficult to reach the showpiece event in 2025 if they are unable to get a good win here. A bit of combination change might do the trick here, with Sam Curran and Harry Brook likely to get the nod.
The Dutch, meanwhile, will be looking to turn their fortunes with a bright future lying ahead of them if they excel in the remaining games. The side for them will likely remain the same as it has been the case so far with minimalistic swaps.

Another day, another crucial game as we approach the final leg in the World Cup 2023, with Australia and Afghanistan going against each other in Mumbai on 7th November in match 39 as both aim for semi-final progression.
Australia have been fantastic so far, with performances coming from different members everytime with the bat, while Adam Zampa has been the key for them grabbing wickets at crucial junctures of the game. However, their primary concern in this game would be the availability of Steve Smith, who has been suffering from vertigo for the past day or so.
Afghanistan, meanwhile, have been spot-on with their team selection in this tournament, as they have done an outstanding job by picking players based on the opposition's weakness and conditions. Both departments, batting and bowling, have performed exceedingly well to grab the limelight, as they would want to continue the excellent show.

Always an underrated rivalry from the Asian region, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka will face off in the infamous 'Naagin' encounter that will take place on 6th November in Delhi, where much focus has been on the air pollution levels that have surged past normal in the past few days.
The Tigers are already eliminated from this edition, and their sole focus will be to finish in the top 8 atleast to ensure their qualification for the Champions Trophy 2025. They are on a six-match losing streak and would like to eliminate that, as both their batting and bowling need some confidence to do well.
Sri Lanka, on the other hand, are coming off a massive demoralising loss against India and will need to win this game to ensure that they don't fall, even though their qualification chances look bleak. Player injuries are the primary reason that caused their campaign to derail.

India have been extraordinary so far in the World Cup 2023, and so is South Africa, who have bludgeoned the bowling attacks with their extreme power display. When these two sides clash, there won't be any stone that will be left unturned, simply because the winner of this top-of-the-table clash that would happen on 5th October in Kolkata will finish in number 1 position.
Men in Blue have been brilliant while chasing, but whenever they have defended, the result is extraordinary as victories by massive margins are achieved. They will be looking to play a similar bowling line-up that demolished Sri Lanka.
Conversely, the Proteas have displayed their batting muscle, with batters in all positions contributing significantly to the side's mammoth totals. Bowling has been doing well, too, with Marco Jansen being the stand-out bowler alongside Gerald Coetzee.

The second match of the double header in World Cup 2023 will feature one of the biggest rivalries in England and Australia, the contest that is more than just two points with reputation and bragging rights on offer as Ahmedabad is likely to witness a high-class encounter on 4th October.
The Aussies have been dealing with a lot of injuries and unforeseeable events recently, with Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh ruled out of this clash due to separate reasons. However, this means a chance for others to shine in their absence, as Cameron Green is likely to be back.
Three Lions, on the other end, have not been upto the mark in every department, but they surely know how to turn things around even after a disastrous campaign, considering Champions Trophy 2025 qualification is at stake, and that holds a lot of significance.

It is no less than a virtual quarter-final of the World Cup 2023, where New Zealand and Pakistan are all set to face off in Bengaluru in the first match of the double header if weather permits, considering rain is likely to have a say.
The Kiwis have only themselves to blame after their initial burst, as they lost three consecutive matches after winning the first four. Their qualification now hangs in the balance with victory in two remaining games, seeing them through to the semi-finals in the most likely scenario if their NRR doesn't go beyond others.
Pakistan, on the other spectrum, are trying to brush off their mid-season crisis where they just couldn't win a game. A loss in this encounter would mean that their journey, in all probability, is all but over as their NRR isn't the best of the lot and also, some other results need to be in their favour.

Another crucial battle awaits us in Lucknow, where the Netherlands is all set to take on Afghanistan on the 3rd of November as two points are at stake and qualification is on the line for both sides, albeit in different cases.
The Dutch, for the first time, are looking at Champions Trophy 2025, where the Afghans are considering themselves to be in the semi-finals of the ongoing World Cup 2023.
The Netherlands, more or less, have played with a very settled side in almost every game, as their approach has been to move with a set plan. The top order needs to score some runs, which could prove to be the deciding factor for them.
Meanwhile, Afghanistan are on a chasing spree and would fancy doing that again, considering their middle-order has been quite resilient against both pace and spin. Bowling has been their strength as they continue to rely on their ace tweakers.

In 2011, two sides contested in a riveting final where the Indian side emerged victorious against the strong Sri Lankan side to lift their second World Cup title in Mumbai. 12 years later, the same sides will play on the same venue in another World Cup clash that is expected to be another classic except for the fact that it is a group stage match.
Hosts India have been in terrific form and will be backing themselves for another potential victory here, considering their outstanding performances so far in the competition. Hardik Pandya is still unavailable, meanwhile, Mohammed Shami is doing exceedingly well with the ball.
Sri Lanka, on the other spectrum, are coming off a loss against Afghanistan, which would surely be enough motivation for them to do well in this encounter. Spinners are having a difficult tournament, and their batters have not been at par on certain occasions.

It will become more than just cricket when New Zealand and South Africa collide in the World Cup 2023 clash in Pune on 1st November as the two giants search for their first WC glory, considering these two have had a history in the mega-events, most fondly going back to 2015. South Africa have majorly struggled against the Kiwis in ICC events, and there is no denying that they will be here to rectify that.
BlackCaps, so far, have been marvellous but have lost back-to-back games against the hosts India and their prime rivals Australia. But dare not take them lightly, considering they know how to seal the big moments against top-sides. However, injury concerns might be a worry as all of their reserves had injury issues in the previous game, including skipper Kane Williamson.
The Proteas, meanwhile, have been following the gung-ho approach so far, with batting going all guns blazing from the start. And to that, their previous win against Pakistan by one wicket was a real booster to their confidence.

With losses in their previous respective games, Pakistan and Bangladesh are set to battle it out in Kolkata on 31st October in match 31, as the clock is ticking for both of them for different reasons. For Pakistan, it's for the semi-final berth, while for the Tigers, they want to safeguard their position for the Champions Trophy 2025 by finishing in the top eight.
Pakistan have blown hot and cold as after their first two victories, they have failed to win anything, which means four consecutive losses, and their previous one is something that would hurt them considering they came so close to victory against South Africa.
Bangladesh, in all probability, are out of the top four race and would now focus on winning their remaining games to ensure that they somehow make the cut for the prized event in 2025. As of now, they need both batters and bowlers to step up at crucial moments and provide some positive elements to the side.

The Afghanistan side have been quite influential so far, with spin doing the trick for them with their batting stepping up as well and for them to succeed in this encounter, batting has to be top-notch again.
Sri Lanka, on the other spectrum, have done wonderfully well even after a string of injuries hit them hard as they are playing without their regular skipper Dasun Shanaka. Coming into this game, another shocker has hit them as in-form pacer Lahiru Kumara has also been ruled out for the remainder of the tournament with a thigh injury.

However, there is never a dull moment when these two sides clash, and this time, it will be in Lucknow on 29th October, where the pitch is likely to stay balanced.
Positioned second on the table, Men in Blue have won everything so far and will be looking to extend their dominance in the World Cup. They are without their premier all-rounder, Hardik Pandya, who still hasn't recovered from an ankle injury, meaning Ravichandran Ashwin could come into the picture.
The bottom-placed English side have had a terrible tournament so far, where they have only won a single game. Batters look out of form, and bowlers are unable to leave an impact during crucial stages of the game.

Both these sides are here after facing heavy losses and are looking to resurrect their campaign in their remaining four games.
The Dutch have either made no changes or barely one in all their games so far, displaying their ideology of sticking with the same side and backing their players despite hiccups. They just need some performances together to get their second win of the mega-event after beating South Africa.
The Tigers, meanwhile, have had their share of ups and downs where bowlers have performed but in patches, and batters have scored runs along the same lines. However, they would feel that there's a lot left for them in the tournament, and with Taskin Ahmed fit, it would act as a significant boost.

Cricket peaks when two of the most world-class rivals, Australia and New Zealand, clash in the World Cup as the previous times they have met in an ICC event, the games were quite fascinating to watch. The match that is likely to be another tight contest will be played at the picturesque Dharamsala on 28th October in the first match of the doubleheader scheduled for the day.
The Aussies have finally caught the train that they wanted to set them off from the bottom of the table, and with three victories in three games, they are indeed backing themselves for this enthralling Oceania battle. Travis Head, in all likelihood, will be back in the mix after missing the first half of the mega-event.
The BlackCaps, on the other spectrum, are coming off their first loss of the otherwise flawless tournament as they were shown the mirror by hosts India. On the playing front, they will field the same XI unless Kane Williamson puts his hand up and says 'I will play'.

They will meet each other in humid Chennai on 27th October, where the turn will be the primary factor concerning the Pakistan side more than their opponents.
The Proteas have been the best batting side in the tournament with scores mostly in excess of 350 as the behemoth Quinton de Kock has been unstoppable at the top of the order, with Heinrich Klassen doing the rest in the fag end of the innings.
Meanwhile, Pakistan have been struggling with the ball and with the bat as well. The primary concern for them is the form of Haris Rauf, who has been ineffective so far in the tournament.

England's biggest nightmare in the past few editions of the World Cups are up against them in the form of Sri Lanka, as both of them are suffering badly in the current tournament with just one victory in four games, however, when they meet in Bengaluru on 26th October, things will be different.
The English side is having a tournament far from ideal, and they would want to turn this around as quickly as possible. Their previous game against South Africa is something they would like to forget, as a gigantic defeat by 229 runs shattered their hopes in Mumbai.
The Asian side, Sri Lanka, are also not having a tournament they would have expected but would still go in this game with confidence considering their win in the last match versus the Netherlands. Another major positive is the addition of experienced Angelo Mathews to the squad, who will play a crucial role in the side.

Australia will be no strangers when they take on the Netherlands in Delhi in the ongoing World Cup 2023 on 25th October, with short boundaries and good batting conditions coming into play as another high-scoring encounter awaits us. Australia have found form in the last few matches, whereas the Dutch seemed to have been consistent with their playing methods.
The Kangaroos will welcome their most lethal weapon in Travis Head, who recovered from a fractured thumb and will be slotted straight into the opening slot, meaning in-form Mitchell Marsh will have to be pushed down to three with Marnus Labuschagne pushed out of XI. Bowling looks settled, with Adam Zampa doing everything he is known for.
The Netherlands, on the other hand, have looked like a proper competitive side which generally hasn't given up easily so far. With one victory against South Africa, beating them would definitely not going to be a walk in the park.

Bangladesh, on the opposite, would want to return to winning days after their defeat against India.
The Proteas had a setback against the Netherlands, after which they recovered well and displayed their capabilities to full effect, causing England to surrender. The batting is firing all guns blazing, while the bowling is nothing short of extraordinary.
Tigers would again be concerned with Shakib Al Hasan's availability, who is dealing with an injury and missed the previous game. Also, their bowling needs to step up in case they want to get some points on the table.

The battle is going to be intense as Afghanistan will be keen to fire with their spin trio of Mohammed Nabi, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman and Rashid Khan. Their previous loss against New Zealand was tough, but they know how to bounce back.
Pakistan, on the other hand, are coming off a loss against Australia, but their batting order and their bowling line-up have the depth to cope with the pressure. Runs from Babar Azam are required desperately as he has not performed according to expectations.

The match will be played at Dharamsala, where swing will be a significant factor as compared to any other venue in this country.
India have some painful memories against the BlackCaps, especially from the last World Cup in the semi-final, where victory was snatched after an unbelievable run-out. However, things would be different this time, with the entire time firing just at the right time.
The BlackCaps fear no one, even without their captain, who is likely to stay away from this clash as well. But it should have no bearing on this game, considering they are a side packed with positives.

South Africa would not be breathing easy when they face England in the World Cup 2023 on 21st October in Mumbai, which will potentially see the return of Ben Stokes in the second game of the day. Proteas and Three Lions, both were shocked in the last game by Netherlands and Afghanistan, respectively, as they clash here to regain momentum.
England have been struggling to pick wickets as they got exposed to Afghans, who pounced on the opportunity to score runs at the top and then, also disturbed them with spin. Their primary concern in this match would be to get their pacers going.
On the other hand, South Africa went through a tough night as well, where they couldn't do anything except blame themselves for the mishap against the Dutch. But looking at the positive, they are still the most potent batting line-up in the tournament.

Netherlands will face Sri Lanka [AP]
Searching for their first win in the World Cup 2023, Sri Lanka will clash against the confident Netherlands side in Lucknow on 21st October in the first game of the double-header, where two crucial points await any one of them. The Lankans will have to address the problems that the Dutch addressed in the last game against South Africa, where they displayed the best they could have done.
The Netherlands have been flying high and will only look to be grounded against the side that has been struggling since the inception of the tournament. Skipper Scott Edwards displayed form, and now, with bowlers in good rhythm, they would be smelling another victory.
Having been marred by a plethora of injuries, Sri Lankans have been quite unlucky in every regard. Their primary pacers were ruled out, spinner Wanindu Hasaranga injured, and then, captain Dasun Shanaka suffered a blow too, enough to send him back home.

World Cup 2023 – Match 18 | AUS vs PAK
Australia's will to continue their winning form has led them to Bengaluru, where Pakistan is already waiting to return back to their successful days as both the heavy-weights clash on 20th October in a bid to earn two crucial points in the World Cup 2023. Australia finally gained some form in the last game, while Pakistan received a significant dent through the hands of India.
The Pakistanis were riding high on confidence after their two comprehensive wins over the Netherlands and Sri Lanka, respectively, but now seem eager to restart from the beginning as they face another major hurdle. Players in the camp were dealing with some illness, but most of them have now recovered to be available for the game.
The Kangaroos, on the contrary, had two worst possible results to start off the tournament, losing to India and South Africa, whereas their third game against Sri Lanka proved to be fruitful. As for the line-up, Adam Zampa's fitness is still a concern as he is dealing with back spasms.

The hosts, India, currently undefeated in the World Cup 2023, will be up against the side that has caused them problems in the past in the form of Bangladesh as they both will collide in Pune on 19th October, featuring in match 17. India are coming off an impressive run with three victories, whereas the Tigers have been topsy-turvy with one win from three.
Indians are high on confidence as they have roared so far in the tournament as they are here after victories against the mighty Aussies, Afghanistan and arch-rivals Pakistan. The batters look in good shape, and as for the bowlers, they are in red-hot form.
Bangla Tigers will be sweating on the fitness of their skipper Shakib Al Hasan, whose availability is still unconfirmed after a left quadriceps injury in the previous game. Talking wickets in the opening phase will be crucial for them if they want to halt their opposition to a lower total.

After the big upset for England, Afghanistan will be eyeing another major break when they face New Zealand in Chennai on 18th October in match 16 of World Cup 2023, that too in spin-friendly conditions. Flying high after the win, the Afghans will run into the formidable Kiwis line-up, who have been undefeated so far.
Spinners from the Afghan Nation ran riot against the English side in Delhi as they bagged eight crucial wickets. The batters have scored runs in the last two games and will be hoping to continue their decent run with the bat.
The BlackCaps are having a solid tournament with confident victories in all three games, but the older problem has struck them again in the form of skipper Kane Williamson, who won't feature in the few upcoming games after fracturing his thumb, considering he barely recovered from the knee injury.

Temba Bavuma's South Africa will go all in to take revenge for the T20 World Cup last year against Scott Edwards' Netherlands in match 15 of the World Cup 2023, to be played at the picturesque Dharamsala. Proteas have been highly confident in both departments, whereas the Dutch have felt the heat of Indian conditions not working in their favour.
South Africa are coming off from two high-flying victories against Sri Lanka and Australia, where they have proved their batting muscle alongside the class of their pacers. Quinton de Kock has knocked centuries in both these games and will be eyeing for his third consecutive ton.
Their opponents, Netherlands, have struggled in two games so far where scoring runs and taking wickets have been a problem. However, they can still up the ante, considering some top-skilled performers are present in the side.

Australia to take on Sri Lanka on Monday [AP]
It's all going to happen in Lucknow when Australia and Sri Lanka will be striding out to open their account in the World Cup 2023 in match 14 without much room for error, as a loss would potentially reduce the semi-final qualification chances to a dream only. The Aussies have been pretty poor with the bat, while the Lankans have been nothing different but with the ball.
Australia were outplayed entirely in their two games against India and South Africa, where they have not been able to cross the 200-run mark even once in the tournament. The middle-order, especially, has struggled to keep up with the expectations.
On the contrary, Sri Lanka have bludgeoned 325+ totals in both their games but have also conceded 428 and 345, respectively, against South Africa and Pakistan. Unfortunately, now, they will be without their skipper Dasun Shanaka, who has been ruled out with an injury as Kusal Mendis has been handed the leadership duties.

England will take on Afghanistan on Sunday [AP]
High-scoring Delhi will host match number 13 of the World Cup 2023 between England and Afghanistan on 15th October, with both these sides looking for two crucial points. England are high on their batting strength, with runs coming freely from the top-order, while Afghanistan are lacking in multiple departments with concerns mainly with their bowling.
The Three Lions were ruthless against Bangladesh in their last game, where they smashed a massive 364 and then bowled out the Tigers for 227 to clinch a 137-run victory. Dawid Malan was the star for his side with an impressive century, while Reece Topley returned to bag extraordinary figures of four for 43.
In the other arena, the Afghans were a little better with the bat than in their previous game, as they managed 272 against India, which eventually, was never going to be enough in the end, losing the game with 15 overs remaining.

The biggest rivalry in any sporting history that goes beyond the sport, across the border, shared struggles, divided history, common suffering and unreal passion that defies pain, it is India versus Pakistan in the incredible World Cup 2023 that will be played on 14th October in Ahmedabad with everything they have on stake. When these two nations collide, the teams don't play, but the countries take the field.
Rohit Sharma's India will be pretty confident walking into this game, considering their past two games where things went right for them. With Shubman Gill recovering well, India would keep their fingers crossed going into this encounter.
As for Pakistan, they have had their moments, too, with wins in consecutive games and now, their focus is on maintaining the stability they currently have. The contest is going to be between Pakistani pacers and Indian top-order on a pitch that is decent for chasing.

The match 11 of the World Cup 2023 will be played at the iconic Chepauk Stadium in Chennai, where New Zealand will be preparing themselves for trial by spin against the mighty Bangladeshi spinners in the hot and humid conditions on 13th October. With turn playing the defining role, runs would only come with patience on this track.
Kiwis are coming off two dominant victories against England and the Netherlands, respectively, that too without their primary weapon in Kane Williamson, who will be returning to international cricket from this game.
Bangladesh, on the flip side, were clinical against Afghanistan but were outplayed by the English side. However, now, they would be looking at their best chance to win against a top side in the tournament when they play in the most spin-friendly conditions in India.

It is time for one of the most epic rivalries in the World Cup 2023 as Australia and South Africa will battle it out in Lucknow on 12th October in match 10, which is sure to set the stage on fire. Both these sides had a distinctive start to the tournament, with Australia coming off a loss while their opponents came from a convincing win.
The spin trio of India simply hamstrung Australia as they were folded under 200 on a turning Chennai track, whereas the Proteas saw the opportunity in Delhi and opened their arms in Delhi's short boundaries against Sri Lanka to post over 400.
The Kangaroos will be boosted by the return of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, but in whose place that remains a question. Africa, on the flip side, might be looking to bring in the expertise of Tabraiz Shamsi on a new and relatively unknown wicket.

It is match number nine in the World Cup 2023 with hosts India, after a significant victory over Australia, ready to take on their Asian counterparts Afghanistan in high-scoring Delhi on 11th October. This game boasts of one of the biggest player rivalries in world cricket in the form of Virat Kohli and Naveen-ul-Haq.
India's trump card, Kohli, did wonderfully well in the last game alongside KL Rahul to save their side from an embarrassing defeat. However, the spin is going to be a bigger factor in this game, considering Afghanistan's turning trio of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi.
Runs will likely flow like water, considering the last game on this ground where South Africa smacked 428, which means teams will have to start from fifth gear. With Shubman Gill still unavailable, Ishan Kishan has a crucial role to play.

The Asian heavyweights Pakistan and Sri Lanka, who have had a game to remember in the Asia Cup recently, will go against each other in the World Cup 2023, this time in Hyderabad in match number eight, which will be the second game of the day. The fact that Sri Lanka have never beaten Pakistan in the World Cups is a massive factor and will undoubtedly be baggage to carry.
Pakistan have had a decent start to the tournament with a victory over the Netherlands, whereas Sri Lanka received an intimidating hammering through the hands of South Africa as the score touched a whopping 428.
The return of Maheesh Theekshana will boost Sri Lanka, and now, it is upto them to consider either two frontline pacers or three, which depends mainly on the conditions on offer.

World Cup 2023 – Match 7 | ENG vs BAN
The second double-header of the World Cup 2023 will see England taking on Bangladesh in the first match of the day to be played in Dharamsala, where, more than anything, the outfield will be the primary focus. The concerns within the English camp are concerning with Ben Stokes unlikely to take the field for this game as well.
The thrashing in the previous game against New Zealand might play on their mind as their no-holds-barred approach is set to resume its usual business. The batting faltered in the previous game, and even then, they crossed the 280-run mark, so considering this 300-plus total would be on their agenda atleast.
Bangladesh would want a repeat of the 2015 World Cup, where a close victory knocked the English side out of the tournament. They have the required spin armoury in their ranks, and it is just the right time to use it against powerful England batters.

It's October 9, which means New Zealand and the Netherlands will be preparing themselves for the sixth game of the World Cup 2023, set to be played in Hyderabad. The four matches between these two sides have favoured the BlackCaps, who have dominated the Dutch in all those games.
Kiwis are coming off a magnificent victory against England by nine wickets, all due to the gigantic partnership between Devon Conway and Rachin Ravindra, who took bowlers to the cleaners.
On the other hand, the Netherlands were defeated at the hands of Pakistan by 81 runs, even after Bas de Leede played an all-round role with four wickets and 67 runs. Also, there is much camaraderie between these two sides as three of the Dutch players, Teja Nidamanuru, Max O'Dowd and Logan van Beek have played in New Zealand's domestic setup in the past.

Probably, two of the biggest probables to lift the World Cup, both these sides will be without their first-choice openers Shubman Gill and Travis Head, atleast for this game.
India faced washouts in either of their warm-up games, whereas the Aussies defeated Pakistan, while the other one against the Netherlands went to rain. The semi-finalists of the previous WC edition will want to start their campaign on a high where the spin challenge is going to be crucial.

South Africa will head into the contest off the back of a remarkable series win over Australia at home. They defeated their guests in three successive games to script a rearguard fightback after two heavy defeats upfront.
Sri Lanka, marred with key injuries, recently suffered a demoralising defeat to India at the 2023 Asia Cup final at home. Moreover, they also lost both their World Cup 2023 warm-up fixtures last week to Bangladesh and Afghanistan in Guwahati.

Bangladesh, on the other hand, claimed a consolation win over India at the 2023 Asia Cup, before they were handed twin defeats by New Zealand at home.

Under Babar Azam’s leadership, the Pakistan team lost both warm-up fixtures in Hyderabad earlier this week. However, their batters charted 300-plus totals in both games, thus finding their rhythm just at the right time for the tournament.
On the other hand, the Netherlands will enter the contest off the back of their successful World Cup 2023 Qualifiers run in Zimbabwe in June and July this year. However, Scott Edwards and his troops will have their task cut out when they take the field against Pakistan, considering they have never upstaged the ‘Men in Green’ throughout their six ODI meetings.
