Yay! We have got past 123 and not on home soil too!! 
129 and go home. Or at least crawl into a hole
we only lost by 100 runs
Afghans with another great win v Sri Lanka.
Good with the ball, even better with the bat, very calm and completely comfortable. We could use Jonathan Trott’s coaching.

South Africa put up a massive total of 357/4 and NZ are failing to get anywhere near it. Currently 100/6
At least most games continue to be very unpredictable!
South Africa scoring for fun :-
82 Sixes hit by South Africa in seven matches in this tournament, the most by a team in a men’s ODI World Cup. They surpassed England’s 76 sixes in 11 matches in the 2019 World Cup.
10.2 Sixes per ODI by South Africa in 2023, the best hit-rate for a team in a year (min: 100 sixes). They have hit 194 sixes in 19 ODIs this year, the second most in ODIs, behind the 209 by West Indies in 28 matches in 2019.
8 Consecutive 300-plus totals by South Africa while batting first in ODIs. It is the longest streak in men’s ODIs, bettering the seven by Australia in 2007 and England in 2019.

It’s raining in the Pakistan - NZ game. Amazingly, despite posting a total of 401 the Kiwis will lose if it doesn’t stop, Pakistan currently 20 ahead on the Duckworth-Lewis calculation. Fakhar 106 no off 69 balls.
