World Cup 2023: Proteas Bavuma confident of ending semifinal jinx

Temba Bavuma was aware that Australia are not a "Mickey Mouse" team, but the South African captain on Wednesday sounded confident of his side's ability to defeat the five-time champions and end the Proteas' World Cup semifinals jinx. Ahead of the last-four match here on Thursday, history is heavily stacked against the SA who have lost in the semifinals of the showpiece four times, with two of them coming against the Aussies. You know, we're not coming up against a Mickey Mouse team. Australia have a lot of experience and confidence in knockout games, so we've got to respect that, Bavuma said. Backed by some powerful batting performances, South Africa have been impressive in the league phase, but Bavuma said the semifinal would be a different ball game. I'd hate to say that we deserve to go through because of the way we played our cricket. I don't think that's the way things go. But I think from our performances, from the processes that we've followed to get to this point, we'll ..

World Cup 2023 IND vs SA Preview: Unbeaten India face formidable Proteas

The top spot is at stake and an unconquered Indian team will certainly feel a sense of deja vu when it takes on a red-hot South Africa on Sunday in what will be a battle of equals in the World Cup. It promises to be a fascinating contest and Virat Kohli and Ravichandran Ashwin can't escape that "been there in this position" feeling since they were part of the World Cup squad that had a similar run in 2011. The only game that India had lost in the 2011 edition was against South Africa when an unheralded Robin Peterson had smashed Ashish Nehra for 19 runs after Indian batting imploded in Nagpur despite a hundred from Sachin Tendulkar. Kohli, who is one short of record-equalling 49th ODI hundred, and Ashwin are the only players in the current squad who were part of India's title-winning run. On Sunday, Rohit Sharma's players need to guard themselves from complacency and emulate the all-conquering Australian team of 2007 which won the World Cup without losing a single game. A win and

World Cup 2023, IND vs SA: Dravid feels pacers have overshadowed Jadeja

Rahul Dravid has always been big on data but when it comes to judging Ravindra Jadeja's exceptional performance, the Indian coach looks more at situational impact rather than dry statistics that reveal less and conceal more. Jadeja has scored 81 runs in three innings and taken nine wickets in 55.3 overs with an economy rate of 3.78. These are very solid figures without being exceptional like the 400-plus runs from Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli or the 29 wickets that Jasprit Bumrah (15 in seven games) and Mohammed Shami (14 in three games) have shared between them. "It's been exceptional. I think, you know, Jadeja, someone, if you look at the numbers, we look at stats, we look at data, we look at it quite a lot. I mean, he has been exceptional in this tournament," Dravid said when asked about someone like Jadeja's contribution. "Because of how good our seamers have been and how fantastic it has been to watch them upfront, the performances of people like Jaddu (Jadeja) and Kuldeep ...

World Cup 2023: South Africa's van der Dussen confident of beating India

Having aced the conditions in the World Cup, the marauding South Africa are not intimidated by the next challenge of facing a formidable India, feels Proteas batter Rassie van der Dussen. South Africa crushed New Zealand by 190 runs on Wednesday to grab the top spot in the standings with a four-match winning streak. The Proteas will next face India, the only team unbeaten team in the tournament, in a top-of-the table clash in Kolkata on Sunday, and the batter said they're ready for the challenge. "Obviously, playing India in India is a massive event. They've been playing really well. A lot of experience in their team. They've got all bases covered, brilliant bowling attack and obviously the batting as well," said Van der Dussen during the post-match press conference here on Wednesday. "But again, we'll go into that game knowing that if we do the things well that we want to do, we'll be in a really strong position. "The challenge is to under pressure, to stay with that, and that's
