Cricket World cup 2023 preview

With the 2023 Cricket World Cup warmup matches starting tomorrow, fans and analysts alike are eagerly anticipating the tournament. The tournament is set to take place in India and promises to be an exciting event featuring some of the best cricket teams worldwide.

The 6 top teams going into the tournament are looking very strong

One of the top teams to watch out for in the 2023 Cricket World Cup is India, the host country. India has a strong cricketing tradition and has been a dominant force in the sport in recent years. With a talented squad, including the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, India is sure to be a tough opponent for any team.

Another team to keep an eye on is England, who won the 2019 Cricket World Cup. They have a solid and well-balanced team, with excellent batting and bowling options. Led by Jos Buttler, England will be looking to defend their title and continue their recent success in the sport.

Australia is also a team to watch out for in the 2023 Cricket World Cup. They have a strong squad, with experienced players like Steve Smith and David Warner, and are known for their aggressive style of play. With their recent success in the Ashes series, Australia will be looking to carry that momentum into the World Cup.

Pakistan is looking very dangerous as well. Under the leadership of Babar Azam, they will be looking to bounce back from a disappointing Asia Cup. Their key players will be Shaheen, and Haris Rauf with the ball and the top 4 batsmen Fakhar, Imam, Babar and Rizwan with the bat.

New Zealand will be another team that will be putting up a challenge as they have put together a very balanced side for this tournament. Runners-up of the last 2 World Cups would want to go all the way this time and finally win the big one.

South Africa will be looking to finally win an ICC event after 24 years of drought since they won the inaugural champions trophy. Led by Bavuma they will be looking to finally win the big and the key for them will be the Rabada leads from the front with the ball in hand and Markram, Van der Dussen, Miller and de Kock lead the way with the bat.

This is going to be an exciting World Cup as it's the last in this format with 10 teams all competing against each other in a league phase with the top 4 going to the Semifinals. This should be a very close and competitive tournament between the top 6 teams

Proteas vs India 2nd test Day 1 review

The second test match between Proteas and India kicked off on a high note with the hosts putting up a horrendous batting performance on day 1. The Proteas team won the toss and elected to bat first, but they failed to make the most of the opportunity as the Indian bowlers wreaked havoc on the home team's batting line-up bowling them out for 55. Mohammed Siraj was the chief destroyer with 6 wickets for 15 runs in 9 overs. He was equally supported by Mukesh and Bumrah both taking 2 wickets each. The Indian team lost their first wicket early on, with Jaiswal departing for a duck. The rest of the top-order batsmen struggled to get going as well, and the team was bowled out for 153. However, a brilliant counter-attacking innings from Markram helped the home team to 62-3 at stumps to steady the ship. It was an excellent day for bowlers on both sides as 23 wickets fell for 270 runs. The Proteas bowlers, led by Rabada and Lungi Ngidi, were impressive after t...

Australia vs Pakistan 3rd test day 3 review

Labuschange and Smith added 71 runs before both Smith and Labuschange lost their wickets one after the other. Australia then managed a few small partnerships to take their score to 289 before collapsing to 299 all out giving Pakistan a first-innings lead of 14 runs.

Pakistan last won a test match in Australia in 1995...
