India Leads ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Points Table, South Africa and Australia Struggle

-

After a resounding victory over South Africa in Kolkata, India now firmly tops the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 points table. With 16 points from eight matches and an impressive net run rate of +2.456, India has established a commanding position in the tournament. However, South Africa’s second-place position is at risk due to a significant hit to their net run rate following a 243-run loss to India. Both India and South Africa have secured their spots in the World Cup 2023 knockout stage.

New Zealand, on the other hand, is grappling with a four-game losing streak, causing them to slide to fourth place in the table with eight points from eight matches. Australia holds the third spot with 10 points from seven matches, requiring just one win in their remaining two group games to secure a place in the semi-finals. Australia boasts a superior net run rate of +0.924, compared to New Zealand’s +0.398.

Meanwhile, Pakistan and Afghanistan, sitting in fifth and sixth place, share the same points as New Zealand. Afghanistan, with a game in hand, has the opportunity to overtake New Zealand by winning their upcoming match against Australia.

In Delhi, Sri Lanka suffered a three-wicket loss to Bangladesh, eliminating them from the World Cup 2023. Both teams have accumulated four points each from eight games and occupy the seventh and eighth positions on the table. The Netherlands, with four points and a game in hand, currently sit in ninth place.

Defending champions England find themselves at the bottom of the table, with only one win in the tournament and two more group stage games to play.

England’s campaign came to an end with a 33-run loss to Australia at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, marking their fifth consecutive defeat in the ongoing World Cup. English captain Jos Buttler acknowledged his own poor performance with the bat and took responsibility for the team’s World Cup exit, describing it as a low point in his captaincy.

“We came to India with high hopes and expectations, we haven’t done ourselves any justice, everyone knows how much hard work we’ve put in, and these losses weigh heavily on our shoulders,” said Buttler.
