The ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has only three days left, and the competing nations are putting the last touches on their preparations as they square off in the warm-up games. On Monday, October 2, the four participating teams were England, Bangladesh, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Sixth game: Bangladesh vs. England
The reigning champions eventually kicked off their World Cup campaign with a practise match against Bangladesh after their first warm-up match against India was postponed due to inclement weather. The game was trimmed to 37 overs per side in Guwahati due to rain once more. Having won the toss and chosen to bat first, Bangladesh struggled early on with to poor performances from opener Litton Das (5 off 6) and skipper Najmul Hossain. Shanto (2 off 11) quickly made his way back to the pavilion.

Dawid Malan was eliminated by Mustafizur Rahman in the first over alone, dealing a severe damage to England’s response. England eventually won the match by four wickets in 24.1 overs, thanks to a half-century from Moeen Ali (56 off 39) and valuable contributions from Jos Buttler (30 off 15) and Jonny Bairstow (34 off 21).
7th match: South Africa vs. New Zealand When Kane Williamson, the captain of New Zealand, won the toss and chose to bat first, his team’s performance supported the choice, scoring 321/6 in the allocated 50 overs. Glenn Philips (43 off 40), Tom Latham (52 off 56), and Devon Conway (78 off 73) all contributed runs for New Zealand.
Reeza Hendricks, the South African opener, was out in the first over of the reply, but Quinton de Kock (84* off 89), Rassie van der Dussen (51 off 56), Heinrich Klaasen (39 off 37), and David Miller (18* off 26) all had outstanding performances that helped stabilise the innings.
