🏏ICC Champions Trophy 2025: South Africa vs England, 11th M, Gr B🏏 - Page 46

Sampath Bandarupalli says that England have now lost seven consecutive ODIs - their longest losing streak in men's ODIs since losing 11 (yes, eleven) in a row in 2000-01. Brutal.

Jos Buttler: It was really a disappointing performance, we were short of our mark today, so really disappointing. A decent surface, a little bit slow and two-paced, Duckett got us into a nice position but we couldn't take advantage of that. I don't know to be honest, as a whole group, we are not getting the results and that takes away the confidence from us. So, it's a change of scene and we have to see where cricket takes us. Of course, there is no doubt, the talent is there, we have all the elements to put together a great side, I'm sure Brendon and the guys at the top will formulate some plans and it's up to the individuals as well to put thier mark and assure that the team gets to where it wants to be. It was a fantastic time to be a world-cup winning captain and that was my best day in my captaincy tenure. Joe has been a shining light and a great example for us. After relinquishing his captainy, he has played brilliantly and hopefully, I can follow in his footsteps.

Aiden Markram: (On his hamstring niggle) I think it’s alright, hopefully in the next few days, I can get good rest and recover. (On the pitch) It was slow initially, the boys adapted really well to the conditions. We held our lengths and bowled in good channels. (On Marco Jansen) He has been huge for us, he takes wickets upfront, he finds different ways of doing so and he pairs well with KG as well. (On Klaasen) He has been in ridiculous sort of form since the last many months. He had a little niggle but he never really left, he has been great for us. We have to see whether that’s the case and what the conditions will be like, we have a big squad to choose from. The coach generally gets the best out of the players.

Hope India loose tomorrow and play SF with SA

I put everyone n wrong category.

And Jansen also won't give me points 😥

"Well, that was a grim watch from an England perspective. South Africa far too good, and cruise through to the semi-finals as group winners. They're off to Dubai for now... but will have to hop back over to Lahore if India beat New Zealand tomorrow night"

England lost all their group games and leave the sub-continental shores with gloomy memories. Buttler stepping down as England's white-ball captain will perhaps lead to a paradigm shift for English cricket. But as Buttler mentioned in the post-match interview, we all are hopeful that with no burden of captaincy, Buttler will play with a lot of freedom and once again reinvent himself in ODI cricket. Root is a prime example of having prospered after relinquishing captaincy. South Africa, on the other, march on and enter the semis with their confidence soaring sky high. Join us tomorrow for the blockbuster game between India and New Zealand in Dubai. Tomorrow's result will give us clarity as to which teams play each other respectively in first semi-final and second semi-final. That's it from our side for tonight. See you there. Until next time, goodbye and cheers!

Yes phir to India kaa final mein jaana pakkaa 🤩

May be tomorrow both NZ and India will want to lose the match as none of them would want to meet Aus in semifinal I heard that both Aus and SA will travel to Dubai as still it is not decided whether India will play the first SF or second power of BCCI that it made all the nations including host to travel while India is perfectly settled in Dubai
