Tabraiz Shamsi took four wickets for 60 to help South Africa bowl out Pakistan on 270 runs at Chennai's MA Chidambaram Stadium and then Aiden Markram's 91 off 93 balls knock was enough for the Proteas to earn a deserving win to top the World Cup 2023 points table.
Shubman Gill scored his first World Cup fifty when he made 53 against Bangladesh in India's 4th consecutive win in World Cup 2023. The Indian sensation has closed in on Pakistan captain Babar Azam's top spot in the ODI batters chart. Meanwhile, Mohammed Siraj has also made a jump.
Former Pakistan pacer Umar Gul has made a sensational claim amid the team's dwindling World Cup 2023 campaign. Babar Azam's captaincy is in massive danger as Pakistan have lost three out of their five games and one more loss will mean an early exit for the 1992 champions.
“These players have served us at the highest stage and have a treasure of experience under their belts. We hope to utilise their expertise to help ensure our players are developed well in all aspects of the game," Zaka Ashraf told reporters after Pakistan's defeat against Afghanistan on Monday.
"We wanted to put up a total of around 280-290. After we achieved that, we were not up to the mark with our bowling and fielding. The spinners didn't bowl the way we wanted them to in the middle overs," Babar Azam said after Pakistan's World Cup defeat against Afghanistan on Monday.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are engaged in an intriguing contest at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai at the moment. Pakistan have already lost two games on the trot and if they suffer another loss then it can have a detrimental effect on their ongoing World Cup campaign.
Pakistan began their World Cup campaign on a high with wins over Sri Lanka and the Netherlands. But they lost their following matches against big teams like India and Australia. They are somewhat in a must-win situation now and the latest controversy is not helping even though PCB has denied it.
Shubman Gill is going through a dream run in ODI cricket at the moment. He missed the first couple of matches of the ongoing World Cup against Australia and Afghanistan due to dengue fever and made his comeback in the high-voltage clash versus Pakistan.
Former Pakistan pacer Wasim Akram expressed his displeasure at the public meeting of Virat Kohli and Babar Azam after the Men in Green suffered a brutal 7-wicket loss in the World Cup 2023 match against India. Akram said that Babar could have gotten Kohli's shirts privately too.
Team India vice-captain Hardik Pandya was critical of Pakistan batters, captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan's approach in the middle overs, saying that they were timid and that allowed them to stay in the game. India beat Pakistan by 7 wickets in the World Cup 2023 match in Ahmedabad.
India TV Sports Wrap on October 15: India beat Pakistan in their third game of the ICC Cricket World Cup by 7 wickets, rather comprehensively. India are now 8-0 ahead on head-to-head in the World Cup. Here are the top 10 trending news stories from the sporting world on Sunday, October 15.
Team India continued its dominance over Pakistan in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup history as the scoreline is now 8-0 in the Men in Blue's favour. After the match, Indian batting maestro Virat Kohli was seen gifting his signed jersey to Pakistan captain Babar Azam while being involved in a chat.

IND vs PAK Highlights, World Cup 2023: India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the 12th match of World Cup 2023. Rohit Sharma and bowlers starred for India in this encounter as the men in blue registered their 8th consecutive win against Pakistan in World Cup.
"I believe there is no point focusing on whatever has happened in the past. I believe we need to focus on what is ahead of us. All these streaks are made to be broken. We will try to give our best tomorrow. Anything can happen on the day. I fully believe my team has done well," Babar said.
There are a lot of changes compared to the last week in the latest ICC rankings with World Cup 2023 in progress at the moment. Rohit Sharma is dropped out of top 10 after a failure in the game against Australia. However, Kohli and Rahul have gained points after their match-winning knocks.
Babar Azam is under the pump after two consecutive failures with bat in hand in the ongoing ICC World Cup and it might have a detrimental effect on his captaincy too in the upcoming games. His form is slowly becoming a matter of grave concern for the Pakistan team management.
Babar Azam-led Pakistan somehow crawled to 286 as they were reduced 188/6 at one stage. Bas de Leede of the Netherlands shined with the ball picking up four wickets for 62 runs. Pakistan are being massively trolled after Babar Azam and Shadab Khan stated that the pitches in India are flat.
Rohit Sharma was flabbergasted by a reporter's question during the World Cup captains' meet in Ahmedabad. The question was so bizarre that even Babar Azam, the Pakistan captain who understands Hindustani language couldn't stop himself from laughing at Rohit's response.
Team India has to play its second practice match against Netherlands. India's first warm up match was to be played against England, but this match could not be played due to rain.
