That may be his way of boasting how well he knows the players as he was once their coach

He did it before he became a coach or anything and was only into commentary. That’s his way of trying to come across as an unbiased commentator😆

Congrats Aditi and SK and others for 2nd highest score in today match

4th .

SA lost 4 times in Semi finals and 1 time it was tied with AUS but then AUS progressed to finals because they finished higher than SA in the points table.

De kock might have reconsidered his decision of retiring from ODIs after his good performance in WC par sab use retirement yaad dila dilakar retire kar hi denge

SA bowling today
Rabada and Jansen: 1/76 in 10.2 overs, ER:7.35
Others: 6/136 in 37 overs, ER: 3.68

Australia batting today
Openers: 91(66), SR: 137.87
Others: 107(220), SR: 48.63

Most wicketkeeping dismissals in a World Cup edition

21 - Adam Gilchrist (2003)

21 - Tom Latham (2019)

20 - Alex Carey (2019)

20 - Quinton de Kock (2023)

17 - Kumar Sangakkara (2003)

17 - Adam Gilchrist (2007)

Quinton de Kock also became the only wicketkeeper to achieve a double of 500-plus runs and 20 dismissals in a single World Cup edition.

Pat Cummins | Australia captain: I think it was easier out there than sitting in the dugout. Nerve-racking couple of hours but it was good to get the result. Wasn't expecting Starc and Hazlewood to bowl so much early. We knew it was going to spin later on but there was a bit of cloud cover so wasn't too disappointed about bowling first. We talk a lot about our fielding, probably wasn't up to standard at the start of the tournament but we were fantastic today. Specially Warner who's 37. Travid Head was the man today, to take that crucial wicket in the middle overs. Inglis played that beautifully, he looked in total control out there, especially against two quality spinners. Few of us have played in a final before, couple of other guys in a T20 WC, the stadium is going to be packed, mostly going to be one sided but it's about embracing it. 2015 World Cup was one of the highlights of my career, never thought I'd be here playing another World Cup final in Mumbai.

Temba Bavuma: Cannot put it into words, first of all congratulations to Australia. Good luck to them in the final. They played really well today. Our character came through today. We should a lot of resilience. The way we started with the bat and the ball was the telling point, that's where we lost the game. The conditions combined with the quality of their attack was it, they really put us under pressure. You're always going to struggle to put up a competitive total when you're 24/4. We were gaining some momentum when Miller and Klaasen were out there but unfortunately he couldn't carry on a bit longer. Miller's innings was superb, really highlights the character of the entire team, it was extraordinary to do that in such a pressure situation and in a world cup Semi-final. They got 70-odd in the first 10 and that really allowed the rest of the guys to settle. Markram and Maharaj were fantastic and they really put them under pressure. We had chances, tough chances that we put down, it could've been a bit close had we held on to them.

Spare a thought for Quinton de Kock too, his ODI career comes to an end with that.

So so sad. Supporting SA always leaves us with a heartbreak. 😩🥺
