Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | South Africa win by 134 runs

 
Pat Cummins has departed here and that would be it I guess, no more hope for Australia here. Cummins was caught by David Miller on the bowling of Tabraiz Shamsi who had his first wicket of the World Cup. 
 
That is it. The last wicket has fallen here and it is Hazelwood’s who has been caught at mid-off by Kagis Rabada Shamsi has another one in the over as Australia are bowled out for 177 in 40.5 overs and lose the match by 134 runs. Two matches and two bog losses for Australia., Two matches and two big wins for South Africa.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Pat Cummins deals in boundaries

 
Pat Cummins has come out here and started hitting boundaries. He knows that the target is almost beyond the achievable limits at more than 12 runs per over, but his runs might come in handy as the net run rate will be a big thing late in the tournament. 
 
Australia Live Score 168/8 after 38 overs

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Maharaj gets Labuschagne

 
Keshav Maharaj might have put the last nail in the coffin here as he has got the wicket of Marus Labuschagne, who wanted to go over the covers. The match is already gone, it is now about getting as many runs as possible here for Australia and he was trying to do that.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | 100 up for the Aussies

 
Finally, the Aussies have been able to bring up their hundred here at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. There have been demons in the ground as has been shown by the 32-runs stand between Mitchell Starc and Marnus Labuschagne. There has been just poor shot selection by the Australian batters and some inspired bowling by the Proteas bowlers.  
 
Australia Live Score 104/6 after 26 overs
 
Brilliant timing from Warner 
 

7:52 PM

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Great catch from de Kock gets Stoinis

 
Marcus Stoinis was given out by the third umpire after the catch was referred by the South African team. There was a nick on the ball from the glove, but the on-field umpire adjudicated that it was when the glove was in no contact with the bat. However, the third umpire felt that both hands were touching the bat when the glove touched the ball and therefore a stupendous catch from behind the stumps bore fruit for the Proteas.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Rabada's dream delivery

 
Bamboozled!! What a ball that was!! I mean if ever Kagiso Rabada would look for a wicket, he would want yet another delivery like this. Pitched on middle and off and went on to hit the off stump. I mean wow!! English had answers at all.  
 
Australia Live Score 57/4 after 12 overs
 
Quinton de Kock leads the run-scorers’ chart as of now in the World Cup.  
 

7:13 PM

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Shocking dismissal of Smith

 
Kagiso Rabada has not had a great outing so far and that is how has been hit for two fours back to back. 
 
And just as I type that, he has hit Smith on the front leg and the Proteas skipper Temba Bavuma goes for the review. There is no bat involved but the ball seems to be going down the leg. 
 
Well, well, it is wickets hitting and Smith would have to walk back. This is unbelievable and Smith is shellshocked as no one would have that the ball was an away swinger and not an in-swinger as it has managed to travel inside and hit the leg stump after hitting the pads on leg stumps as well. 
 
Australia Live Score 50/3 after 10 overs
 
Australia missed a lot of chances, here’s one of them.

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Shamsi teased by the ball

 
This has been a tricky chase for Tabraiz Shamsi who gave it up one time after diving past the ball and then ran again and was still not able to get there. 
 
A stunning drive for a four from Steve Smith ends the over. 
 
Australia Live Score 36/2 after 8 overs
 
Have a look at the shot of the day
 

6:57 PM

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Ngidi gets Warner

 
The South African pacers have done brilliantly well in the first eight overs, especially Ngidi who has conceded just four runs in his first four overs and just as I type he gets a wicket too. This has been a terrific spell and David Warner’s sticky stay at the crease comes to an end. 
 
Australia Live Score 27/2 after 7 overs

Aiden Markram was brilliant with the bat 
 

6:50 PM

Cricket World Cup 2023 | Australia vs South Africa LIVE SCORE | Micthell Marsh departs


Australia have started the chase well by not losing any wicket in the first six overs here. They are slow to get off the blocks but that has been due to a tight line and length by the South African poachers early on. However, as the night progresses dew will favour the batters to get easy runs here. 
 
But just as I write this Mitchell Marsh’s bad run of form continues and is a leading edge in an over which had seen 11 runs come from the first four balls. 
 
Australia Live Score 27/1 after 5.5 overs
