ODI WC 2023: South Africa has qualified for the ODI World Cup to be played this year (2023). A total of 8 teams were to qualify automatically for the ODI World Cup 2023. 7 teams including host India had already been decided, now Africa became the eighth and last team in this. For South Africa, the way to qualify was cleared by the first ODI between Ireland vs Bangladesh.
The first match of the three-match ODI series being played between Ireland and Bangladesh was canceled due to rain. The cancellation of this match proved to be a boon for South Africa. If Ireland had won all three ODIs in the three ODI series being played between Bangladesh and Ireland, Ireland’s team would have automatically qualified for the World Cup, but this did not happen. South Africa played their last two ODIs against the Netherlands in the World Cup qualification period, winning both.
A total of 10 teams will participate in the ODI World Cup to be played in India. 8 teams have been cleared in this. At the same time, two teams will join the tournament through qualifiers.

However, when Sri Lanka had qualified and West Indies were eliminated.
