Following 10 days of the <strong>World Cup 2023</strong>, it can be said that fans relished some incredible cricketing action. In the next few days, ardent cricket supporters might witness some intriguing matches which can result in a major success of the tournament and its organisers. Watching the blockbuster cricketing extravaganza, thus far, it can be noted that bowlers are having tough times while batters are on cloud nine.

In this World Cup edition, batters are taking advantage of Indian batting surfaces and wreaking havoc on bowlers. Noting some superb batting action in the last few days, it’s essential to evaluate the batting performances of all 10 sides in the first week of the marquee One-Day International (ODI) competition.

Here are the ratings of the batting performances of all 10 sides in the first week

The Netherlands haven’t won any game in this World Cup and the failure of their batters has played a vital role. In their inaugural game against <strong>Pakistan</strong> in Hyderabad, the Dutch side was tasked to chase 287. Following the decent total, Scott Edwards and his men surrendered on 205.

Except for Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede, no other batter showed valour against the Men in Green. Logan van Beek played some good strokes in the lower order and chipped in with his unbeaten 28-run innings off 28 deliveries but his innings couldn’t make a difference.

Against New Zealand, the Dutch team got folded on 223 in 46.3 overs, replying to a huge total of 322. Confronting the quality Kiwi bowling unit, Colin Ackerman looked solid with his 69 off 73. Captain Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht also played knocks of 30 (27) and 29 (34) respectively and helped the team cross the 200-run mark.&nbsp;

Bangladesh are looking to create an impact in this tournament under Shakib Al Hasan but currently, they are on the backfoot with just one win and two losses in three outings. In the first week of the competition, they registered a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in Dharamshala and started their campaign positively.&nbsp;

Despite winning the game against the Afghan team, their batting emerged as a concern. Following a low total of 157, the Bangla side lost four wickets. Their openers Tanzid Hasan and Liton Das got dismissed cheaply scoring 5 (13) and 13 (28) respectively. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s 57 (73) and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s unbeaten 59 (83) guided Bangladesh to the victory.

Bangladesh’s next challenge was against England at the same venue. This time, Shakib and his men got hammered by 137 runs. Pursuing the massive target of 365, the Bangla batters never looked comfortable but Liton and veteran Mushfiqur Rahim batted decently and scored 76 (66) and 51 (64) respectively but all other players were out of rhythm.

<strong>Afghanistan</strong> are expected to be effective in this tournament against big teams but in the first week, they weren’t been to the mark. The Afghan side kicked off their campaign with a six-wicket loss against Bangladesh in Dharamshala. In their first World Cup 2023 game, the Aghan team got bundled out on a mere 156.

Only wicketkeeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz looked confident with his bat, scoring 47 off 62.&nbsp;All other batters didn’t stand at the crease for a long time which led to the Afghan team’s debacle. Following the defeat against Bangladesh, the Afghanistan team flew to Delhi to take on India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.

Against the hosts, the Afghan team got an eight-wicket defeat but their batters exuded confidence in the match and racked up 272 runs on the board in their 50 overs. Taking advantage of the batting track, the Afghan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai scored 80 (88) and 62 (69) respectively.&nbsp;

Afghanistan however have come up with a massive upset in the World Cup when they defeated England in their third match of the tournament. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ikram Alikhil combined to take Afghanistan to a decent total before the bowlers helped bring the match home.&nbsp;

<strong>Australia </strong>are going through tough times as they have failed to make a good start in this World with embarrassing defeats in their first two games. In their opening contest, they locked horns with the hosts India and got a comprehensive six-wicket hammering at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.

On Chennai’s turning track, Australia’s batters became the victim of Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. The spin duo picked up five wickets and played a major role in dismissing Australia on a paltry 199 in 49.3 overs. Against India’s disciplined bowling unit, only Aussie veterans David Warner (41 off 52) and Steven Smith (46 off 71) put up some fight.

Mitchell Starc, who came to bat at nine, scored 28 off 35 and helped Australia reach 199. The pacer came to bat at a time when the Aussies were seven down at a score of 140. It was the 33-year-old’s batting effort that helped Australia post a fighting total on the board.&nbsp;

Sri Lanka cricket team supporters are expecting their side to wonders in this World Cup but after witnessing their performance in the first two matches it can be said that things won’t be easy for the 1996 champions in this tournament. In their first match against South Africa at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, they got a 102-run loss.

Against the Proteas, Sri Lanka bowlers leaked 428 runs which became too hot to handle for their batters. Replying to the humongous total, Sri Lanka amassed 326 runs in their 50 overs. Kusal Mendis (76 off 42), Charith Asalanka (79 off 65), and Dasun Shanaka (68 off 62) looked superb with their bats in this game.&nbsp;

Following the big loss against the Proteas, Sri Lanka locked horns with Pakistan at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. This game also didn’t go well for Shanka and his boys as they failed to defend 344 runs. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama looked spectacular in this contest as both batters notched up 122 (77) and 108 (89) respectively.&nbsp;

England are defending the title in this World Cup under Jos Buttler. However, things won’t be easy for them in this competition as their record hasn’t been great in India. In the opening game against New Zealand at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, the English side got a nine-wicket hammering.

On Ahmedabad’s batting paradise, England’s star-studded batting unit accumulated only 282 runs in 50 overs. Only Joe Root was the one from the batting line-up who spent time at the crease and displayed intention to fight against the Kiwi bowlers. The veteran scored 77 off 86 in the important match.

England won their first game of this competition against Bangladesh in Dharamshala. In this game, their top-order and middle-order came heavily on the Bangla bowlers and piled up 364 runs in 50 overs. Chasing the enormous total, Bangladesh capitulated on 227 in 48.2 overs.&nbsp;

In their third match of the tournament, England got a huge shock as Afghanistan defeated the 2019 champions posing a huge question for their World Cup defence. The entirety of the batting lineup failed, bar Harry Brook, as England failed to chase down even 284.&nbsp;

<strong>Pakistan</strong> began their World Cup confidently with their two off two wins in the first week. In the first game against the Netherlands in Hyderabad, Pakistan registered an 81-run convincing win but their batting looked shaky. Their top-order batters Fakhar Zaman (12 off 15), Imam-ul-Haq (15 off 19), and Babar Azam (5 off 18) failed to justify their roles in this match. With these three early scalps, Pakistan were three down at a score of 38.

Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel stepped up and rescued the team from the perilous situation. The wicketkeeper batter scored 68 off 75 and Shakeel also played a swift knock of 68 off 52 with 10 boundaries (nine fours and a maximum). Riding on the quality knocks from both batters, the Green Army scored 286 in 49 overs. &nbsp;

After the comfortable victory against the associate nation, the 1992 champions pulled off their record World Cup chase. While pursuing 345 runs against Sri Lanka, Pakistan lost Imam and captain Babar early but Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique held their nerves and took their side close to the total. Shafique departed after scoring 113 off 103 but it was Rizwan who stayed at the crease until the end and took the team home with his scintillating 131-run innings off 121 balls.

<strong>India </strong>are having a great time in this tournament as after 10 days of the competition, they are at the top of the table with three victories off three matches. The Men in Blue started their campaign with a six-wicket win over Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.

In this game, India went through a lot of ups and downs but in the end, Rohit Sharma and Co. emerged victorious. While following a low total of 200, India lost three batters at a score of two but Virat Kohli and KL Rahul displayed their spunk and helped their team win the game. Kohli scored 85 off 116 while Rahul went back to the pavilion with his unbeaten 97-run innings off 115.

After pummelling the Aussies, the Men in Blue thrashed Afghanistan by eight wickets at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi. In this game, India chased down a fine total of 273 in just 35 overs. Rohit led the team from the front in this game, playing a breathtaking knock of 131 off 84. Kohli also chipped in with his unbeaten 55 off 56.&nbsp;

New Zealand are playing quality cricket in this tournament and they might cause problems for other sides in their upcoming games. Following the inaugural contest against England, the Black Caps grabbed a lot of eyeballs for achieving a target of 283 runs in just 36.2 overs and registering a sensational nine-wicket win.&nbsp;

While chasing the challenging total, <strong>Devon Conway</strong> and Rachin Ravindra took England’s bowling unit to the cleaners. Both batters stitched an unbeaten 273-run partnership and took their team home comfortably. Conway notched up a 152-run innings off just 121 while Ravindra also scored his maiden ODI ton.

Taking their bright form ahead, the Kiwi team registered a 99-run win against the Netherlands as well. Against the Dutch side, Will Young shone with the bat with his 70 off 80 while Ravindra again looked dominating with his 51-run innings. Tom Latham played a captain’s knock of 53 off 46.&nbsp;

South Africa are looking in great touch in this competition as they are placed in the third spot on the points table with two victories off two outings. The Proteas looked fabulous in their first game at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, registering a 102-run win against the Dasun Shanaka-led Sri Lanka. &nbsp;&nbsp;

The Proteas scripted history in this game in Delhi as they chalked up 428 runs in 50 overs which is the highest-ever team total in the World Cup. <strong>Quinton de Kock</strong>, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram notched up centuries in this contest and it was the first time in the World Cup when three tons were scored in an innings.&nbsp;

de Kock chalked up 100 off 84 while van der Dussen also contributed 108 off 110. Markram attracted a lot of attention for scoring the fastest World Cup century in just 49 deliveries. Markram also received the Player of the Match award for his stunning batting display in this game.&nbsp;

<p>Following 10 days of the <strong>World Cup 2023</strong>, it can be said that fans relished some incredible cricketing action. In the next few days, ardent cricket supporters might witness some intriguing matches which can result in a major success of the tournament and its organisers. Watching the blockbuster cricketing extravaganza, thus far, it can be noted that bowlers are having tough times while batters are on cloud nine.</p>
<p>In this World Cup edition, batters are taking advantage of Indian batting surfaces and wreaking havoc on bowlers. Noting some superb batting action in the last few days, it’s essential to evaluate the batting performances of all 10 sides in the first week of the marquee One-Day International (ODI) competition.</p>
<h3>Here are the ratings of the batting performances of all 10 sides in the first week</h3>
<h3>10. The Netherlands - 4/10</h3>

</figure>
<p>The Netherlands haven’t won any game in this World Cup and the failure of their batters has played a vital role. In their inaugural game against <strong>Pakistan</strong> in Hyderabad, the Dutch side was tasked to chase 287. Following the decent total, Scott Edwards and his men surrendered on 205.</p>
<p>Except for Vikramjit Singh and Bas de Leede, no other batter showed valour against the Men in Green. Logan van Beek played some good strokes in the lower order and chipped in with his unbeaten 28-run innings off 28 deliveries but his innings couldn’t make a difference.</p>
<p>Against New Zealand, the Dutch team got folded on 223 in 46.3 overs, replying to a huge total of 322. Confronting the quality Kiwi bowling unit, Colin Ackerman looked solid with his 69 off 73. Captain Edwards and Sybrand Engelbrecht also played knocks of 30 (27) and 29 (34) respectively and helped the team cross the 200-run mark.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>9. Bangladesh - 4.5/10</h3>

</figure>
<p>Bangladesh are looking to create an impact in this tournament under Shakib Al Hasan but currently, they are on the backfoot with just one win and two losses in three outings. In the first week of the competition, they registered a six-wicket win over Afghanistan in Dharamshala and started their campaign positively.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Despite winning the game against the Afghan team, their batting emerged as a concern. Following a low total of 157, the Bangla side lost four wickets. Their openers Tanzid Hasan and Liton Das got dismissed cheaply scoring 5 (13) and 13 (28) respectively. Mehidy Hasan Miraz’s 57 (73) and Najmul Hossain Shanto’s unbeaten 59 (83) guided Bangladesh to the victory.</p>
<p>Bangladesh’s next challenge was against England at the same venue. This time, Shakib and his men got hammered by 137 runs. Pursuing the massive target of 365, the Bangla batters never looked comfortable but Liton and veteran Mushfiqur Rahim batted decently and scored 76 (66) and 51 (64) respectively but all other players were out of rhythm.</p>
<h3>7. Afghanistan - 5/10</h3>

<p><strong>Afghanistan</strong> are expected to be effective in this tournament against big teams but in the first week, they weren’t been to the mark. The Afghan side kicked off their campaign with a six-wicket loss against Bangladesh in Dharamshala. In their first World Cup 2023 game, the Aghan team got bundled out on a mere 156.</p>
<p>Only wicketkeeper batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz looked confident with his bat, scoring 47 off 62.&nbsp;All other batters didn’t stand at the crease for a long time which led to the Afghan team’s debacle. Following the defeat against Bangladesh, the Afghanistan team flew to Delhi to take on India at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.</p>
<p>Against the hosts, the Afghan team got an eight-wicket defeat but their batters exuded confidence in the match and racked up 272 runs on the board in their 50 overs. Taking advantage of the batting track, the Afghan skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi and Azmatullah Omarzai scored 80 (88) and 62 (69) respectively.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Afghanistan however have come up with a massive upset in the World Cup when they defeated England in their third match of the tournament. Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ikram Alikhil combined to take Afghanistan to a decent total before the bowlers helped bring the match home.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>7. Australia - 5/10 &nbsp; &nbsp;</h3>

<h3>&nbsp;</h3>
<p><strong>Australia </strong>are going through tough times as they have failed to make a good start in this World with embarrassing defeats in their first two games. In their opening contest, they locked horns with the hosts India and got a comprehensive six-wicket hammering at the MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai.</p>
<p>On Chennai’s turning track, Australia’s batters became the victim of Indian spinners Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. The spin duo picked up five wickets and played a major role in dismissing Australia on a paltry 199 in 49.3 overs. Against India’s disciplined bowling unit, only Aussie veterans David Warner (41 off 52) and Steven Smith (46 off 71) put up some fight.</p>
<p>Mitchell Starc, who came to bat at nine, scored 28 off 35 and helped Australia reach 199. The pacer came to bat at a time when the Aussies were seven down at a score of 140. It was the 33-year-old’s batting effort that helped Australia post a fighting total on the board.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>6. Sri Lanka - 6/10</h3>

<p>Sri Lanka cricket team supporters are expecting their side to wonders in this World Cup but after witnessing their performance in the first two matches it can be said that things won’t be easy for the 1996 champions in this tournament. In their first match against South Africa at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, they got a 102-run loss.</p>
<p>Against the Proteas, Sri Lanka bowlers leaked 428 runs which became too hot to handle for their batters. Replying to the humongous total, Sri Lanka amassed 326 runs in their 50 overs. Kusal Mendis (76 off 42), Charith Asalanka (79 off 65), and Dasun Shanaka (68 off 62) looked superb with their bats in this game.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following the big loss against the Proteas, Sri Lanka locked horns with Pakistan at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. This game also didn’t go well for Shanka and his boys as they failed to defend 344 runs. Kusal Mendis and Sadeera Samarawickrama looked spectacular in this contest as both batters notched up 122 (77) and 108 (89) respectively.&nbsp;</p>

<p>England are defending the title in this World Cup under Jos Buttler. However, things won’t be easy for them in this competition as their record hasn’t been great in India. In the opening game against New Zealand at the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium, the English side got a nine-wicket hammering.</p>
<p>On Ahmedabad’s batting paradise, England’s star-studded batting unit accumulated only 282 runs in 50 overs. Only Joe Root was the one from the batting line-up who spent time at the crease and displayed intention to fight against the Kiwi bowlers. The veteran scored 77 off 86 in the important match.</p>
<p>England won their first game of this competition against Bangladesh in Dharamshala. In this game, their top-order and middle-order came heavily on the Bangla bowlers and piled up 364 runs in 50 overs. Chasing the enormous total, Bangladesh capitulated on 227 in 48.2 overs.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In their third match of the tournament, England got a huge shock as Afghanistan defeated the 2019 champions posing a huge question for their World Cup defence. The entirety of the batting lineup failed, bar Harry Brook, as England failed to chase down even 284.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>4. Pakistan - 7/10</h3>

</figure>
<p><strong>Pakistan</strong> began their World Cup confidently with their two off two wins in the first week. In the first game against the Netherlands in Hyderabad, Pakistan registered an 81-run convincing win but their batting looked shaky. Their top-order batters Fakhar Zaman (12 off 15), Imam-ul-Haq (15 off 19), and Babar Azam (5 off 18) failed to justify their roles in this match. With these three early scalps, Pakistan were three down at a score of 38.</p>
<p>Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel stepped up and rescued the team from the perilous situation. The wicketkeeper batter scored 68 off 75 and Shakeel also played a swift knock of 68 off 52 with 10 boundaries (nine fours and a maximum). Riding on the quality knocks from both batters, the Green Army scored 286 in 49 overs. &nbsp;</p>
<p>After the comfortable victory against the associate nation, the 1992 champions pulled off their record World Cup chase. While pursuing 345 runs against Sri Lanka, Pakistan lost Imam and captain Babar early but Rizwan and Abdullah Shafique held their nerves and took their side close to the total. Shafique departed after scoring 113 off 103 but it was Rizwan who stayed at the crease until the end and took the team home with his scintillating 131-run innings off 121 balls.</p>
<p></p>
<h3>3. India - 8.5/10</h3>

<p><strong>India </strong>are having a great time in this tournament as after 10 days of the competition, they are at the top of the table with three victories off three matches. The Men in Blue started their campaign with a six-wicket win over Australia at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai.</p>
<p>In this game, India went through a lot of ups and downs but in the end, Rohit Sharma and Co. emerged victorious. While following a low total of 200, India lost three batters at a score of two but Virat Kohli and KL Rahul displayed their spunk and helped their team win the game. Kohli scored 85 off 116 while Rahul went back to the pavilion with his unbeaten 97-run innings off 115.</p>

<p>New Zealand are playing quality cricket in this tournament and they might cause problems for other sides in their upcoming games. Following the inaugural contest against England, the Black Caps grabbed a lot of eyeballs for achieving a target of 283 runs in just 36.2 overs and registering a sensational nine-wicket win.&nbsp;</p>
<p>While chasing the challenging total, <strong>Devon Conway</strong> and Rachin Ravindra took England’s bowling unit to the cleaners. Both batters stitched an unbeaten 273-run partnership and took their team home comfortably. Conway notched up a 152-run innings off just 121 while Ravindra also scored his maiden ODI ton.</p>
<p>Taking their bright form ahead, the Kiwi team registered a 99-run win against the Netherlands as well. Against the Dutch side, Will Young shone with the bat with his 70 off 80 while Ravindra again looked dominating with his 51-run innings. Tom Latham played a captain’s knock of 53 off 46.&nbsp;</p>
<p></p>
<h3>1. South Africa - 9/10</h3>

<p>South Africa are looking in great touch in this competition as they are placed in the third spot on the points table with two victories off two outings.

<p>The Proteas scripted history in this game in Delhi as they chalked up 428 runs in 50 overs which is the highest-ever team total in the World Cup. <strong>Quinton de Kock</strong>, Rassie van der Dussen, and Aiden Markram notched up centuries in this contest and it was the first time in the World Cup when three tons were scored in an innings.&nbsp;</p>
