Let’s take a look at Automatic World Cup 2023 slots have been determined following the Ireland-Bangladesh loss.
Ireland’s hopes for automatic qualification to the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup were dashed as the first One-Day International between Ireland and Bangladesh in Chelmsford was called off due to severe rain.
After Ireland’s Super League match against Bangladesh in Chelmsford on Tuesday ended in a washout, South Africa edged Ireland for the final slot in the 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
After Sri Lanka’s disappointing series against New Zealand and South Africa’s recent victories over the Netherlands in a home series, there have been recent adjustments in the competition for automatic slots.
Tema that have previously qualified are South Africa, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, England, New Zealand, and the hosts India.
South Africa’s hurried participation in their final home series against tye Netherlands, South Africa have given them selves a perfect chance to automatically qualify for the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup this year.
The proteas passed the west Indies and entered the eight and final slot on the ICC Men’s cricket world Cup super league standings after winning the series.
However, Ireland’s ODI matches against Bangladesh still matterred for their chances of automatic qualification. In the event that Ireland had not accrued any penalty points, a 3-0 series victory would have tied them with South Africa in terms of points.
The final slot would still have been determined by the net run rate, but because Ireland’s first ODI against bangladesh was called off, the proteas no longer need to worry about that because they have already secured their place in the World Cup. In contrast, Ireland will compete in the qualifiers in Zimbabwae in June.
