India Win By 243 Runs | IND vs SA Highlights of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: Men in Blue Continue Unbeaten Run With Emphatic Victory

With eight wins in eight games. Team India is looking very very good in ICC World Cup. A massive 243-run win has also helped their cause as they remained at the top of the CWC 2023 points table. India have just one league-stage match remaining (against the Netherlands) and would look to win and prepare for the semifinals. Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja were the stars of the game for India. 

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav castles Lungi Ngidi as India beat South Africa by 243 runs at the Eden Gardens! What a display it has been from Team India this. With this, India consolidate their spot at the top of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 points table. What a win this is! What a performance! 

OUT! And a five-wicket haul for Ravindra Jadeja! What a performance this has been for the spinner. He has broken the back of this mighty South African batting unit and India are one wicket away from a win here. Kagiso Rabada c and b Ravindra Jadeja 6(26)

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav has his first wicket and it is Marco Jansen, who offered a simple catch to Ravindra Jadeja. South Africa are falling apart and it is turning out to be a nightmare out there for them. Marco Jansen c Ravindra Jadeja b Kuldeep Yadav 14(30)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has won this battle of left-arm spinners and has castled Keshav Maharaj! The right-hander's stumps was rattled and what a show he has put on tonight! Keshav Maharaj b Ravindra Jadeja 7(11) 

OUT! Things keep getting worse for South Africa as now, the dangerous David Miller has departed with Ravindra Jadeja rattling his stumps! The left-hander walked across his stumps and attempted a lap shot but missed the ball which crashed into the woodwork! David Miller b Ravindra Jadeja 11(11)

OUT! Absolute scenes here at the Eden Gardens as Mohammed Shami has taken one more wicket! This time, it is the in-form Rassie van der Dussen who was struck in front of this stumps and yet another review turns out to be successful! What a performance this is by India ! Rassie van der Dussen lbw b Mohammed Shami 13(32) 

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja again! India want to finish things off pretty quickly! This time, he has got the wicket of Heinrich Klaasen, who is one of the best players of spin in this tournament. The ball pitched and straightened and hit Klaasen on his pads as he attempted a sweep. India reviewed the umpire did not give it out and replays showed three reds! Heinrich Klaasen lbw b Jadeja 1(11)

OUT! India are on a roll here and now it is the in-form Aiden Markram who falls! Once again it is Mohammed Shami who continues to be in fine fine form! Markram wanted to guide the ball towards third man but edged it and KL Rahul took a neat catch behind the stumps! South Africa are three down. Aiden Markram c KL Rahul b Mohammed Shami 9(6)

OUT! Ravindra Jadeja has struck in his first over and produced a gem to castle Temba Bavuma. Just like Keshav Maharaj had made an impact, Ravindra Jadeja is doing the same! India have sent back both South African openers. Temba Bavuma b Ravindra Jadeja 11(19)

India are putting pressure on South Africa here and the early wicket of Quinton de Kock has clearly put momentum in favour of the Men in Blue. But South Africa have in-form batters in their ranks, with Rassie van der Dussen coming into this match with a century behind him. 

OUT! Mohammed Siraj has struck and dismissed the in-form Quinton de Kock! The southpaw has been in red-hot form for South Africa in ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 but his innings has been cut short tonight at the Eden Gardens. What a start this is for India! Quinton de Kock b Mohammed Siraj 5(10) 

Quinton de Kock and Temba Bavuma have opened the innings for South Africa and Jasprit Bumrah has conceded just two runs off the first over. It will be interesting to see how these in-form batters go up against the Indian pace attack. 

So India have posted a massive 327/5 on the board powered by a record and sensational hundred by Virat Kohli. On his 35th birthday, he provided a present to the Eden Gardens crowd and what a knock it has been. He has matched the Master Blaster and taken India to a good position here. Shreyas Iyer (77) also starred with a good knock and late fireworks by Ravindra Jadeja (29* off 15 balls) and Suryakumar Yadav (22 off 14) propelled India to a big total here. With India's bowling attack being in form against the deadly South Africa batters, we are in for an interesting second half of the match. Stay tuned!

HUNDRED for Virat Kohli! What a knock it has been! He came in and scored some quick runs and later, soaked in the pressure with the South African spinners putting pressure. Kohli has done what he does best and produced a masterclass of an innings. He has equalled Sachin Tendulkar's record of 49 ODI hundreds

OUT! Tabraiz Shamsi has struck and dismissed the dangerous Suryakumar Yadav, who could have made a difference of 20-25 runs today. The right-hander attempted a sweep but the ball hit his glove and spooned up in the air with Quinton de Kock taking a good catch. Suryakumar Yadav c Quinton de Kock b Tabraiz Shamsi 22(14)

OUT! What a catch that is by Rassie van der Dussen! He is a pretty good fielder and managed to grab onto a running catch. KL Rahul's stay at the crease has come to an end and out comes Suryakumar Yadav. India would need Mr 360 to play some shots and provide impetus to this total. KL Rahul c Rassie van der Dussen b Marco Jansen 8(17)

South Africa have managed to keep things really tight here in the past few overs with both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul struggling to find the boundaries. With 10 overs remaining, how much can India get from here on? 

OUT! Shreyas Iyer has been dismissed in an attempt to go big. The number four batter did well to get to a good score here but perished as India look to up the scoring ante and get to a good total. South Africa have broken this big partnership. Shreyas Iyer c Aiden Markram b Lungi Ngidi 77(87) 

Virat Kohli and Shreyas Iyer are getting a move on here now with both batters playing their shots. They have done the hard work so far and now it is time they provide the crowd with some entertainment. It has been a very good partnership after Shubman Gill was undone by a wonderful delivery.
