Pakistan vs Sri Lanka Hyderabad Attendance 23,177 Cricket World Cup 2023 Match Report
Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan scored fantastic centuries as Pakistan pulled off a highest ever run chase by defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
South Africa vs Sri Lanka Delhi Attendance 15,496 Cricket World Cup 2023 Kotla
Aiden Markram scored the fastest ever century in ODI World Cup history as South Africa beat Sri Lanka in front of a 15,496 strong crowd at the Feroz Shah Kotla (Arun Jaitley Stadium) in their CWC 2023 opener.
The Proteas, put in by Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka, lost skipper Temba Bavuma early, and were 48/1 at the end of the first ten overs as the Lankan pacers kept things tight. However runs began to flow as both Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen settled in, and Markram’s 49 ball century took them to an imposing 428/5 in their allotted 50 overs (another WC record, beating the previous highest team total made by Australia against Afghanistan back in 2015)
Kusal Mendis gave Sri Lanka a brief glimmer of hope with a stunning 42 ball 76- at one point it looked like he could possibly break Markram’s fastest 100 run record, but once he edged a Rabada delivery to Klaasen behind the stumps, Sri Lanka’s hopes faded. Charith Asalanka and Dasun Shanaka both made half centuries- the former aided by two dropped catches by Van der Dussen and substitute Andile Phehlukwayo, and Sri Lanka managed to cross the 300 mark in their chase to reduce the hit on their NRR.
Marco Jansen went for 2/92 in his 10- although figures don’t do justice to how well he bowled. A more clinical performance in the field might have seen a bigger winning margin for the Proteas, but Temba Bavuma and Rob Walter would be pretty happy, all things considered, with a 100 run victory in their CWC 2023 opener.
India vs Australia Chepauk Attendance 33,190 World Cup 2023 MA Chidambaram Chennai
An official attendance of 33,190 was registered at the MA Chidambaram (Chepauk) Stadium in Chennai for India’s opening game of the 2023 World Cup against Australia. The attendance number was shown on television towards the end of India’s chase.
The crowd number was slightly higher than the the 32,921 fans who attended the CSK SRH IPL game at the same venue back in April 2023 earlier this year.
Australia won the toss here and opted to bat first, but could only score 199 as they struggled to cope with the slow nature of the pitch and India’s troika of spinners- Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja and local man Ravi Ashwin. Steve Smith top scored for the visitors with 46.
In response, Mitchell Starc got the visitors off to a dream start by snaring left hander Ishan Kishan, caught at first slip by Cameron Green for a golden duck while attempting an expensive drive.
Josh Hazlewood then pegged the hosts back with wickets of skipper Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer as Men in Blue slumped to 2/3.
Star batsman Virat Kohli got a reprieve on 12, when Mitchell Marsh dropped a relatively simple catch at square leg following a lack of miscommunication with wicket keeper Alex Carey behind the stumps.
Kohli capitalized on the opportunity as he went on to add 165 runs for the fourth wicket alongside KL Rahul. The former was eventually dismissed to a fine sharp catch by Marnus Labuschagne at midwicket while attempting a pull for 85.
Rahul (97)* along with Hardik Pandya (11)* shared an unbeaten 34 run stand for the fifth wicket, as The Men in Blue overhauled the target with 52 balls to spare.
India will next square off against Afghanistan in Delhi on Wednesday, October 11.
India 201 for 4 (Rahul 97*, Kohli 85, Hazlewood 3-38) beat Australia 199 all out (Smith 46, Jadeja 3-28) by six wickets
