<p><strong>World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table: </strong>South Africa further slips down to the fourth position in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table after suffering an unassailable 2-0 defeat against Australia. The mighty Aussies continued their one-sided domination at home as they hammered the Proteas by an innings and 182 runs in the second test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). </p>



<p>The Proteas boasted of having a daunting pace attack, but that count for nothing if their batters can't put up a show and give the bowlers a fair chance to be a part of the contest. In the first innings, the South African batters were wrapped in mere 189 runs total all thanks to the handy half-century knocks from Kyle Verreyenne and Marco Jansen.</p>



<p>In response to an underwhelming total, Australian batters wreaked havoc and piled up 575 runs before declaring the innings. Opener David Warner redeemed himself in his 100th test with a classy double ton while Alex Carey slammed his maiden century in red-ball cricket.</p>



<p>In the second innings, South Africa did nothing better as they were once again packed by the Aussies at a score of 204. Temba Bavuma was the only batter who crossed 50 runs mark in the innings and helped South Africa breach 200 run mark.</p>



<p>Australia now have a safe lead of 2-0 in the three-match test series. South Africa will look to bounce back in the final test at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) and perform some salvage work in order to avoid embarrassment. Meanwhile, the hosts will back themselves for a complete whitewash in the third test.</p>

<p>Australia strengthened its first position in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table with a 78.57 win percentage following a 2-0 lead against South Africa. Meanwhile, South Africa slips down to the fourth place with two consecutive losses against Australia. The Protea stands at number four with a win percentage of 50.</p>



<p>The second place is currently occupied by team India with a 58.93 win percentage owing to the domination shown in Bangladesh. India has a four-match test series against Australia at the home as their final assignment in the ICC WTC 2023. The home side will back itself to win the contest and make a place for themselves with a good margin.</p>



<p>Sri Lanka has managed a firm hold in the third position with a 53.33 win percentage after playing five test series in the cycle. Meanwhile, the fifth, sixth and seventh positions are occupied by England, West Indies and Pakistan respectively. All of them are already out of ICC WTC's final contention.</p>

World Test Championship (WTC) Points Table [Updated] after AUS vs SA 2nd Test

<p><strong>AUS vs SA World Cup Final Dream11 Prediction: </strong>Australia Women will battle South Africa Women in the Women's T20 World Cup final on February 26. With Meg Lanning at the helm, Australia advanced to its sixth straight T20 World Cup final by hammering India, who fell just five runs short. In this article, we will take a brief sight at the overview, pitch report, playing 11, and Dream11 prediction.</p>



<p>The fact that South Africa is competing in the final for the first time, and home conditions will enhance their aspirations. However, they have dropped all five of their T20I matches against Australia, who has won the trophy a record five times. The Aussies are sure that by defeating the hosts on Sunday, they can lift the T20 World Cup for the sixth time.</p>

<p>Australia were dominating throughout the tournament and not only the tournament but the entire last year. Australia lost just one match in 2022 and that too in the India tour in a super over. Australia won all their Group stage matches in this season of the World Cup with command. Australia ended the Group Stage at the top of Group 1 and escaped a narrow victory in the semifinals from India and reached the final.</p>

<p>Whereas South Africa lost their first two group-stage games?one to Australia and the other to Sri Lanka. Nonetheless, they prevailed against Bangladesh by 10 wickets in the final match of the group stage to go to the playoffs. In the second semi-final, they defeated England with even greater effectiveness.</p>

<p>Australia and South Africa had a contrasting start to their campaign in the ICC World Cup 2023. While South Africa annihilated Sri Lanka to bring up their maiden win of the event, Australia faced a hammering loss against India in their first game.</p>



<p>Australia will be having some bitter memories playing against South Africa. In their recent tour of South Africa, Australia lost a 5-match ODI series 3-2. Even after winning the first two ODIs comfortably, Australia lost the last three brutally.</p>



<p>Australia's defeat count didn't stop there. Next, Australia lost a 3-match ODI series against India 2-1 and also lost the opening encounter of ICC World Cup 2023 against India by 6 wickets.</p>



<p>South Africa, on the other hand, are at the best of their run. The Proteas' batting just crashed out the Sri Lankan bowling order and posted a record total of 428 in their tournament opener against Sri Lanka and won the match by 102 runs. They are in excellent form and would like to keep momentum on their side going forward in the tournament.</p>

<p>The Ekana Cricket Stadium has a reputation for providing ideal bowling conditions, particularly for spinners. The sluggish pitches here make it challenging for batters to get going and drive the ball through the line. Additionally, as the game goes on, pacers could benefit from the slow pitch since they can use multiple variations in addition to their stock ball.</p>

<p><strong>AUS vs SA World Cup 2023:</strong> Pat Cummins-led Australia is set to take on Temba Bavuma's South Africa at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow on October 12. The ICC World Cup 2023 match number 10 will start at 2:00 PM IST, today. This article will lead you through AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Cameron Green OUT, Stoinis IN, Australia Playing 11 vs South Africa playing 11 | Australia vs South Africa.</p>



<p>Australia and South Africa had a very contrasting start to their ICC World Cup 2023 campaign, a few days ago. While the former team dipped too low on the standards to face a defeat, the latter rose very high above anyone's standards to post a record-breaking total in the World Cup 2023 and win the game.</p>



<p>Pat Cummins and co were reduced to mere 199 runs by Team India in Chennai, on October 8 and the Men in Blue convincingly won the game with multiple overs to spare. On the other hand, South Africa posted a massive 428 runs against Sri Lanka in Delhi and then eventually won the contest by 102 runs.</p>



<p>On the other side, if we look at the recent fixtures between Australia and South Africa, signs are not looking encouraging for the mighty Aussies. South Africa defeated Australia in the 5 match ODI series held last month after winning three consecutive games at the back end of the series. </p>



<p>Furthermore, the surface at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow has always been conducive to the spinners. The matches during IPL 2023 and even the international games held at the venue have turned out to be fruitful for the spinners.</p>



<p>However, Australia hasn't carried enough frontline spinners in its 15-member squad. Barring Adam Zampa, the team has no specialist spinner in the lineup. They have highly boasted of Glenn Maxwell and Marnus Labuschagne as spinners, but it remains to be seen if that plan works out for them.</p>



<p>Below is AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Cameron Green OUT, Stoinis IN, Australia Playing 11 vs South Africa playing 11 | Australia vs South Africa.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Australia Playing 11</strong></h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Marcus-Stoinis.jpg" alt="AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: Cameron Green OUT, Stoinis IN, Australia Playing 11 vs South Africa playing 11 | Australia vs South Africa" class="wp-image-120668" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Marcus Stoinis | AFP PHoto</figcaption></figure>



<p>The only change one could expect Australia to make in its playing 11 for the game against South Africa will be the inclusion of Marcus Stoinis in place of Cameron Green. Stoinis was down with a hamstring issue, however, that seems to have been fixed. Stoinis comes ahead of Green in the pecking order and hence, a change for the Aussies.</p>



<p><strong>Australia Playing 11: </strong>David Warner, Mitchell Marsh, Steven Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Glenn Maxwell, Alex Carey, Marcus Stoinis, Pat Cummins (capt), Mitchell Starc, Adam Zampa, Josh Hazlewood</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>AUS vs SA World Cup 2023: South Africa Playing 11</strong></h2>



<p>It's quite tricky to tickle the balance of the team that has just scored over 400 runs in an ODI game and won it by 102 runs. South Africa would have required no addition to their squad, had the game been held at a decently conducive batting surface. However, with the surface tending to aid spinners, Tabraiz Shamsi may get a nod ahead of Gerald Coetzee.</p>



<p><strong>South Africa Playing 11: </strong>Temba Bavuma (capt), Quinton de Kock, Rassie van der Dussen, Aiden Markram, Heinrich Klaasen, David Miller, Marco Jansen, Keshav Maharaj, Kagiso Rabada, Lungi Ngidi, Tabraiz Shamsi</p>

<p><strong>World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated: </strong>Australia continues its World Cup 2023 woes with yet another defeat in the tournament. This time Australia was severely hammered by South Africa at the Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, last night. With the win, South Africa climbs to the top of the World Cup 2023 Points Table, while Australia slumps to the penultimate position.

<p>It's not often that the Australians click late in the World Cup events. The ICC tournaments and Australia carry a long-standing fruitful partnership, but this time it's going all against them. In the two games of the ICC World Cup 2023, Australia lost both that too with some distance.</p>



<p>In the opening game, India hunted down Australia, and yesterday, it was South Africa, which pulled all its strings to dismantle the mighty Aussies.</p>



<p>On the tacky surface in Lucknow's Ekana Stadium, where everyone thought 250 to be a good reputable total, the Proteas went on to amass 311 runs in their quota of 5o overs. Wicketkeeper batter Quinton de Kock scored his second consecutive century of the World Cup 2023 and Aiden Markram contributed with a nice half-century, while other batters too made their efforts with small yet viable contributions.</p>



<p>It was always going to be about the chase, as South Africa had amassed a massive total on a slowish track, which has a history of aiding bowlers to a larger extent. History shows the rise of Australians in high-pressure situations, but this time they all crumbled one by one.</p>



<p>Starting with the scalp of Mitchell Marsh, South Africa's wicket-taking spree went to David Warner and then Steve Smith. By the time Aussies could recollect anything, they were three wickets down. To make things worse, they lost three more wickets in the next seven overs at a score of 60 runs. Australia was six down at a score of 70 runs.</p>



<p>By this time the five-times World Cup champions had got the indication that this game was far from their reach and the efforts to salvage their net run rate had begun. Marnus Labuschagne and Mitchell Starc put up a partnership to reduce the winning margin for the South Africans, but it didn't take long for the Proteas to bowl out Australia at a score of 177 runs and win their second game of the World Cup 2023.</p>



<p>The win fetched by South Africa got them two more rating points in the World Cup 2023 Points Table Updated after the game. Owing to the massive win by 134 runs, South Africa took a leap and climbed up to the top of the ICC World Cup 2023 Points Table. </p>

<p>Meanwhile, Australia drains down to the penultimate position in the latest updated World Cup 2023 Points Table. With two back-to-back losses in as many games, Australia stands in the ninth slot with a net run rate of -1.846.</p>

<p><span>South Africa batter Dewald Brevis stole the limelight with his fielding during the ongoing game of the SA20 2025 between Mumbai Indians Cape Town and Sunrisers Eastern Cape. The match between the teams is taking place at the Newlands in Cape Town.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Mumbai Indians Cape Town Dewald Brevis came up with the stunning effort in the field and picked the best catches in the history of the tournament. His effort came during the 4th over of the Sunrisers Eastern Cape when he plucked a stunner to remove Tom Abell and put his team at the top.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Corbin Bosch bowled a delivery that was was short and was angled in. Abell looked to pull it and got a massive top-edge on the pull. Dewald Brevis, who was at deep square, seemed to have lost it in the sun and with the kind of impression he gave, it looked ball would land safely.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>The ball was going beyond him, but Dewald Brevis stretched his right hand over him and grabbed it out of thin air. He came up with the superman type effort and flew to take a blinder and send the batter packing:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>You can seen the video at the end of the article:</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Dewald Brevis notably has made a habit of picking stunners in the league. He picked a sensational catch in the last match against JSK and now came up witn another effort. He complimented his bowlers, who came up with the magical effort with the ball and made mockery of opposition.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span></p>
<p><span>Corbin Bosch was the pick of the bowlers for Mumbai Indians Cape Town. The all-rounder picked four wickets with the ball while Kagiso Rabada picked two scalps. Based on their collective effort with the ball, they bundled out Sunrisers Eastern Cape for just 107 runs.</span><span><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span></span></p>
<p><span>Mumbai Indians Cape Town would be confident of chasing the target and gain important points in the league. Dewald Brevis would be eager to get some runs under his belt and help his team win the game and put one step in the playoffs of the SA20 2025.</span></p>

<p><strong>5. Steve Smith (AUS)</strong></p>
<p>Steve Smith is one of the best test batters that the game has seen in the last decade or so. He started his career as a leg-spinner and batted at no. 8 in his first game. But here, he is among the greatest of all time. Smith recently reached the 10,000-run mark in the first test against Sri Lanka in Galle in his 205th innings. He has scored 10,038* runs in 205 innings at an average of almost 56 with 34 centuries and 42 half-centuries.</p>
<p><strong>4. Ricky Ponting (AUS)</strong></p>
<p>Former Australian captain was the best captain that the game has seen. He retired with four ICC trophies. Ponting also retired with the second-most runs in test cricket, and he is the fourth-fastest overall, having done it in 196 innings. Ponting played 168 tests between 1995 and 2012 and scored 13,378 runs at an average of 51.85. He scored 41 centuries and 62 half-centuries with a best of 257.</p>
<p><strong>3. Kumar Sangakkara (SL)</strong></p>
<p>Sri Lanka's Kumar Sangakkara was an underrated batter, but his numbers are certainly mind-boggling. He retired with the most runs and centuries for Sri Lanka in international cricket. The Southpaw also holds the record for the second-most test double hundreds (11) after Sir Don Bradman (12). Sangakkara reached 10,000 test runs in his 195th innings. He played 134 tests and scored 12,400 runs at an average of 57.40 and the best of 319. The Southpaw scored 38 centuries and 52 half-centuries in total.</p>
<p><strong>2. Sachin Tendulkar (IND)</strong></p>
<p>The legendary Indian batter Sachin Tendulkar is the second-fastest batter overall. Sachin retired with the most runs, centuries, half-centuries, and matches in test cricket history. That tells something about his longevity. Sachin played 200 tests and scored 15921 runs at an average of 53.78 and a best of 248 not out. He scored 51 centuries and 68 half-centuries and reached 10,000 runs in his 195th test innings.</p>
<p><strong>1. Brian Lara (WI)</strong></p>
<p>Brian Lara was one of the best batters that West Indies produced in this game. The left-hander holds the record for the highest test individual score and is the only batter to cross the 370-run mark twice in an innings. Lara reached 10,000 test runs in the 195th innings. Overall, he scored 11953 runs in 131 tests at an average of 52.88, with 34 centuries and 48 half-centuries.</p>

Sachin Tendulkar is the fastest Indian batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.

Steve Smith surpasses Rahul Dravid to become the fifth-fastest batter to reach 10,000 Test runs.
