ODI World Cup 2023: Flop XI of fourth week

In the Cricket World Cup 2023, some players are doing their jobs excellently and receiving appreciation for their stunning performances while a lot of players are lacking discipline which is preventing them from doing well for their teams consistently in the tournament. These players’ non-performances have become a headache for their teams. 

However, the fourth week of the tournament has been exceptional for cricket supporters as they witnessed some unprecedented cricketing action. After watching the matches last week, it’s time to prepare the team of flop XI players who failed to do their jobs efficiently in those seven days. 

Here is the flop XI of the tournament’s fourth week

1. Temba Bavuma

South Africa are performing exceptionally in this tournament but their captain Temba Bavuma’s dismal form is a huge concern. On one side, De Kock is delivering scintillating starts to the side while on the other hand, Bavuma is consistently failing to support his in-form opening partner. 

In his five outings, the right-handed batter has scored only 111 runs at an average of 22.20. Against Pakistan, he exuded confidence from his bat, hitting some boundaries but he failed to take his innings ahead. The Protea skipper went back to the pavilion after scoring 28 off 27.

South Africa hammered New Zealand by 190 runs in Pune but Bavuma again looked ineffective. This time, he fell to Trent Boult after scoring 24 runs off 28 deliveries. In the upcoming weeks, the Protea skipper will have to be among the runs to help his team lift the trophy.
