Sri Lankan captain Dasun Shanaka won the toss and decided to bat first. While batting, Sri Lanka scored 344 runs for the loss of nine wickets in the stipulated 50 overs. From the Sri Lankan team, both Kusal Mendis and wicketkeeper batsman Sadeera Samarawickrama scored a century. Mendis scored 122 runs in just 77 balls with the help of 14 fours and six sixes, while Samarawickrama scored 108 runs in 89 balls with the help of 11 fours and two sixes.



Hasan Ali took the most wickets in bowling action for Pakistan; he took four wickets while giving 78 runs in 10 overs. Haris Rauf got two wickets, while Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Nawaz, and Shadab Khan got one wicket each.



The score of 344 runs was never chased in the World Cup; as soon as the Pakistan team started to chase the runs, their two wickets had fallen for only 37 runs. Captain Babar Azam was out after scoring 10 runs, and opener batsman Imam-ul-Haq was out after scoring 12 runs. But then, thanks to Abdullah Shafique's 113 runs in 103 balls and Mohammad Rizwan's 131 runs, Pakistan chased the runs at the loss of four in just 48.2 overs.

The ICC ODI World Cup 2023 is becoming more interesting day by day after each match. Today, almost 30 percent of the league matches are completed, and there are batsmen like Devon Conway, Rohit Sharma, Kusal Mendis, and many others who are performing extremely well. A team wins when all 11 players execute their roles and perform well on that day. But continuous performance from the batsmen ensures that you have a respectable winning total on the board to secure the victory.



In this article, let's review the top 5 batsmen ranking in this One Day International (ODI) Cricket World Cup tournament. This order can change over time as the matches progress. We will publish another article to share the updated top run-scorer list. You can also refer to the ICC World Cup's official '<a href="https://www.cricketworldcup.com/tournament-stats/players/most-runs">most runs</a>' page to access the latest statistics.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="icc-odi-world-cup-2023-top-5-batsman-run-scorers">ICC ODI World Cup 2023: Top 5 Batsman Run Scorers</h2>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="mohammad-rizwan-pakistan-248-runs">Mohammad Rizwan (Pakistan) - 248 Runs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Mohammad-Rizwan-1.jpg" alt="Mohammad Rizwan" class="wp-image-120924"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Mohammad Rizwan (image source - Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Mohammad Rizwan is at the top of the list with 248 runs. Rizwan usually plays at number 5, but his continuous performance is greatly appreciated.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="devon-conway-new-zealand-229-runs">Devon Conway (New Zealand) - 229 Runs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2021/06/Devon-Conway.jpg" alt="Devon Conway" class="wp-image-64953"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Devon Conway (Image Source: Twitter)</figcaption></figure>



Devon Conway is 2nd in the list with 229 runs to his name and a remarkable average of 114.50. Conway opens for New Zealand and is a key player for his team in the tournament.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="rohit-sharma-india-217-runs">Rohit Sharma (India) - 217 Runs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Rohit-Sharma-Team-India.jpg" alt="Most Sixes in International Cricket, Most Sixes in ODI Cricket, Rohit Sharma achieves THIS massive Feat during IND vs PAK" class="wp-image-121362"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma (ICC/Getty Image)</figcaption></figure>



Rohit Sharma, also known as the 'Hitman' for Team India, is 3rd in the list. His recent performance in the India vs. Pakistan match was praiseworthy. If he plays with the same aggression, he might finish at the top.



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="quinton-de-kock-south-africa-209-runs">Quinton de Kock (South Africa) - 209 Runs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/03/Quinton-de-Kock_11zon-1024x576.jpg" alt="Quinton De Kock" class="wp-image-105684"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Quinton de Kock (Image Source: Hindustan Times)</figcaption></figure>



Quinton de Kock is a batsman-cum-keeper who also opens for his team. His first century in the ODI World Cup 2023 came against Sri Lanka. He is 4th in this list, but with his current form, he could easily move up to the 2nd or 3rd position



<h3 class="wp-block-heading" id="kusal-mendis-sri-lanka-198-runs">Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka) - 198 Runs</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Kusal-Mendis.jpg" alt="Kusal Mendis" class="wp-image-121394"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kusal Mendis (Image source: icc-cricket.com)</figcaption></figure>



Let's see who is in 5th place on the list of the highest run-scorers; it's none other than Kusal Mendis from Sri Lanka. He bats at 3rd position, and because of his current form, Sri Lanka is able to put a good score on the board.

BAN vs SL: Sri Lankan spin bowling all-rounder Wanindu Hasaranga isn't having a great time on the field during the ongoing Sri Lanka tour of Bangladesh 2024. Hasaranga, who recently came back from test retirement, has now been handed a 2 Test match ban by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for his foul play during the recently held ODI series against Bangladesh.



The star spinner was found guilty of breaching the ICC Code of Conduct, which deals with the behaviour of the players on the field. As per Article 2.8 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, relating to "showing dissent at an Umpire's decision during an International Match," Hasaranga was found off-guard by the ICC.



Wanindu Hasaranga ridiculed the umpiring in the last ODI against Bangladesh and was also seen snatching his cap from one of the umpires. The incident happened in the 37th over of the innings.



Following the incident, ICC heavily penalised the cricketer. Wanindu Hasaranga was fined 50 per cent of his match fee and was handed three demerit points for his poor conduct on the field. It's worth noting that Hasaranga was already handed 5 demerit points for his misconduct last month during the T20I series against Afghanistan and now with the addition of the latest demerit points, he breaches the threshold of eight demerit points.



The spinner has now accumulated eight demerit points in the span of 24 months, which is disastrous for any cricketer. According to article 7.6 of the Code, those demerit points have been converted into four suspension points, which equates to either four ODI or T20I match suspensions or two test match suspensions, whichever comes first.



Owing to the ban imposed by the apex cricket body, Wanindu Hasaranga will not be able to take part in the Test series against Bangladesh, which comprises two matches. Both the games are part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25 cycle.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">BAN vs SL: Kusal Mendis earned 3 Demerit Points</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/10/Kusal-Mendis-1.jpg" alt="BAN vs SL: Sri Lanka spinner Wanindu Hasaranga banned from Test Cricket by ICC, handed Two match ban" class="wp-image-121516" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Kusal Mendis (Photo: ANI)</figcaption></figure>



In addition to Wanindu Hasaranga's ban, Sri Lankan skipper Kusal Mendis was handed three demerit points for his foul conduct by the ICC in the third ODI against Bangladesh. The charges were levelled on Mendis for a level 2 offence for abusing the umpires during post-match handshakes. 



For the offence, Kusal Mendis was penalised with a 50 per cent match fee and an additional three demerit points. Both the concerned players have admitted the offence and accepted the sanctions. So there was no requirement for formal hearings.

Former India wicket-keeper batter Dinesh Karthik is having a great time in the ongoing SA20 2025 for the Paarl Royals. The wicketkeeper batter played his best innings in the tournament on Thursday (30th January) against Joburg Super Kings at The Wanderers Stadium, in Johannesburg. 
Dinesh Karthik had a great outing with the bat for his team and helped his team post a fighting total on the board. The keeper-batter slammed a magnificent half-century and entertained the crowd both in South Africa as well as back home in India with his power-hitting. 
The highlight of Dinesh Karthik's innings was the three sixes that he hit on three balls against Wihan Lubbe in Paarl Royals' 13th over. He hit the first six on a free hit as he went down on the knees and hit a slog sweep into the deep mid-wicket stands for a massive six. 
On the next ball, Lubbe bowled a short ball, which Dinesh Karthik made full use of. He pulled the ball over deep square leg for his second consecutive six and put the spinner under pressure. Then on the next ball, the keeper-batter again was on his knees and played a slog sweep, which went over mid-wicket into the crowd. 
You can see the video at the end of the article: 
Dinesh Karthik played a sensational innings of 53 runs off 39 balls. He batted with a strike rate of over 135 and also slammed 4 fours and 3 sixes in his innings. Thanks to his effort with the bat, Paarl Royals posted a fighting total of 150 runs on the board. 
His effort, however, went in vain as Joburg Super Kings chased the target with 7 wickets in hand. Faf du Plessis was the star with the bat for his team as he played an innings of 87 runs off 55 balls. He batted with a strike rate of 158 and slammed 4 fours and 7 sixes to take his team home.

Himanshu Sangwan is currently the Lucifer of Indian fans, as the excitement that drew thousands of fans across the nation to the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi has been ruined by the sensational speedster. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohli</a>, the heartthrob of millions of Indian cricket fans, was back after 15 years to play his first-ever Ranji Trophy match since 2010. The expectations were high as the crowd seemed pumped up and awaiting their superstar's return with the bat. 
The chance to watch their favourite cricketer came when Kohli came onto bat at No. 4 for Delhi after the dismissal of Yash Dhull. However, it was not the best of the days for the GOAT but a remarkable day in the career of a young and promising Himanshu Sangwan, who got the best of the batter when he rattled his stumps with a stellar seam-up delivery that swung back sharply at the King of Indian cricket. 
Right-arm medium-fast bowler Himanshu Sangwan is a 29-year-old cricketer who was born on September 2, 1995, in Delhi, India. The Delhi-born cricketer represents the Railways team in domestic cricket. Sangwan made his List A debut on September 27, 2019, in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, followed by his T20 debut on November 8, 2019, in the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. He is an Indian cricketer who has made a name for himself in domestic cricket with his impressive bowling. 
He idolizes Australian fast-bowling legend Glenn McGrath and credits him for refining his bowling skills, particularly in seam positioning, as he claims to have learned all by observing the former great. As of now, Himanshu Sangwan has played a total of 23 first-class matches, 17 List-A matches, and 7 T20s and has taken 77, 21, and 5 wickets, respectively.
Sangwan’s story inspires all, while it also draws similarities to one of the finest Indian players, MS Dhoni. Belonging to a humble background, Sangwan started his career early and with loads of struggle aimed at what he gained today, dismissing one of the most decorated batters in the world. Before making his mark in cricket, Sangwan was employed as a ticket collector in Delhi, balancing his job while chasing his cricketing dreams. 
From cricket to a job in the Railways and then continuing his career with the Ranji Trophy, it has not been easy for the Delhi boy. However, as said by greats, hard work often pays off, and the rising star could soon be seen knocking on the doors of the most premium Indian tournament, the IPL. 
During the Ranji Trophy clash between Delhi and Railways at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi, Himanshu Sangwan grabbed headlines as he bowled star batter Virat Kohli for just 6 runs, while he also took the wicket of set batter Sanat Sangwan.
The pace bowler celebrated the wicket aggressively, letting out a loud roar and sprinting towards his teammates, as they all knew what heights he could achieve with his high-ended game.

Former India cricketer Aakash Chopra has picked his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The penultimate game of the five-match T20I series between the teams will be taking place on Friday (31st January) at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. 
Aakash Chopra has suggested two massive changes for India for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants Arshdeep Singh to be back for the team in the place of Washington Sundar and also wants Shivam Dube to replace Dhruv Jurel in the team. 
Arshdeep Singh was rested from the last IND vs ENG T20I, while Dhurv Jurel played after Rinku Singh was ruled out of the 2nd and 3rd T20I due to a back injury. With the series on the line, India would be keen to win and take an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series. 
Aakash Chopra wants India to continue with the same opening combination of Abhishek Sharma and Sanju Samson. The left-hander has been having a decent time with the bat while the keeper-batter has struggled to get going in the IND vs ENG series, bagging low scores in three games. 
At No.3, Chopra picked Tilak Varma, who played a match-winning knock for India in the third T20. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav will be batting at No.4 as per Chopra. The captain needs some runs under his belt as he has failed to get going. He would be keen to score runs for his team as well. 
Hardik Pandya and Shivam Dube are the two all-rounders picked by Aakash Chopra in his Indian XI for the fourth IND vs ENG T20I. The cricketer-turned-commentator wants three spinners in the team in Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi and Varun Chakravarthy, who has been India's best bowler in the series. 
For the pace department, Aakash Chopra wants both Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh to play. In the last three T20Is, India has played with one frontline pacer and they would want to change that in the upcoming match.

Australia Cricket Team has faced a massive blow ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. T20I captain Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out the entire tournament with a back injury, and there are chances that he might miss the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. 
Mitchell Marsh has been struggling with his back ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 started. The pacer looked in pain but continued playing for Australia before he was dropped from the team as Beau Webster replaced him for the last match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. 
Following that, Mitchell Marsh played a single game in the Big Bash League, and after that,t, he was rested from the last three matches of the BBL season to mentally and physically refresh ahead of the ICC  Champions Trophy 2025. However, it came as a big surprise that selectors ruled him out. 
<h2>Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction - Cricket Australia </h2>
Cricket Australia released the official statement, saying that the all-rounder has been ruled out with lower back pain and dysfunction. The statement added that they made the decision, keeping in mind the long-term plan, adding that they will be naming a replacement soon. 
"Mitchell Marsh has been ruled out of the upcoming ICC Men's Champion's Trophy with ongoing lower back pain and dysfunction. The National Selection Panel and Australian men's medical team ruled Marsh out of the tournament with the injury which has not responded sufficiently to rehabilitation. 
"His lower back pain flared in recent weeks, leading the NSP to make the longer-term decision for Marsh to complete a more extended period of rehabilitation. Marsh will now undergo a period of further rest and rehabilitation as part of his return-to-play plan. The NSP will meet to decide on a replacement for Marsh in due course." Statement from Cricket Australia read. 
Mitchell Marsh getting ruled out of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 comes as a huge blow. The all-rounder has been the key member of the team in the white-ball cricket. Since 2023, he has been sensational with the bat, as he has averaged 44.54 in ODIs with a strike rate of 109.13. Along with this, he also has been handy with the ball. 
Cricket Australia are also mulling over the fitness of captain Pat Cummins as well. The pacer has been struggling with the ankle injury and there is no clarity over him as well. If both Marsh and Cummins get ruled out, then there will be headaches for the management as they won't have a captaincy option. 
Steve Smith and Travis Head might be asked to take over the role then. Josh Inglis also is there as he recently led the team in home summer, both in T20Is and ODIs.
