When is India’s next match in the 2023 World Cup?
Team India continued their unbeaten run in the 2023 ODI World Cup, hammering South Africa by 243 runs in match number 37 of the tournament at Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Sunday. With the thumping triumph, the Men in Blue registered their eighth consecutive win in the World Cup.
Batting first after winning the toss, India put up an impressive 326/5 on the board. Skipper Rohit Sharma (40 off 24) got the team off to a flying start after which Virat Kohli (101* off 121) and Shreyas Iyer (77 off 87) added 134 runs for the third wicket to consolidate the innings.
With his 49th ODI ton, Kohli equaled the legendary Sachin Tendulkar’s record of most hundreds in the format, hitting 10 fours in his patient innings on a challenging surface.
Chasing a big total, South Africa stumbled and were bowled out for a paltry 83 in 27.1 overs. Left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja starred with career-best figures of 5/33, while Mohammed Shami and Kuldeep Yadav chipped in with two scalps each.
