KARACHI: In his final game as captain, Jos Buttler won the toss and England decided to bat against South Africa at the Champions Trophy. England is already out of the tournament with two straight defeats — it lost to Australia by five wickets and to Afghanistan by eight runs. Buttler announced on Friday that he would step down after England’s surprising exit, as well as its past failures in the 2024 T20 World Cup and the 2023 Cricket World Cup. South Africa is in a must-win position in the final group B game — victory against England will confirm its top spot from the group and a place in the semifinals. The Proteas have made two changes — skipper Temba Bavuma and batter Tony de Zorzi miss out owing to illness.
South Africa pace legend Dale Steyn reckons the fast-rising Afghanistan can go on to win an ICC limited-overs tournament in the next decade if their players learn how to play patiently. Overcoming war and instability in their nation, the Afghanistan cricket team has evolved from an affiliate member to a formidable force in white-ball tournaments. They almost reached the knockouts in the 2023 ODI World Cup, defeating former champions England, Sri Lanka and Pakistan while they were the semifinalists at last year's T20 World Cup, where they knocked out Australia.

Former India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja was in the news for all the wrong reasons after he compared the cricket pitches to wives. Jadeja had made the remarks while speaking on Ten Sports' show "Dressing Room", leaving the anchor and his fellow panelists Wasim Akram, Waqar Younis and Nikhil Chopra in splits. However, Jadeja was criticised by fans for his remarks on-air. "Yaha pe saare shaadi shuda hai. Toh pitch report waise hi hai. Aap dekhte ek cheez hai. Jab aap khelna shuru karte ho toh pata chalta hai (Everyone here is married. So the pitch report is like that only. You see one thing but you only get to know when you start playing)," said Jadeja.
Australia captain Steve Smith's sportsman spirit during the side's Champions Trophy 2025 match against Afghanistan on Friday has become a topic of discussion. On the final ball of the 47th over of the Afghanistan innings, Azmatullah Omarzai played a delivery to mid-wicket fielder and took a single. After completing the run, Noor Ahmad, who then reached the striker's end, walked out of his crease without even wicketkeeper Josh Inglis collecting the ball from the fielder. As Noor left his crease before the throw arrived at striker's end and the ball could be deemed dead, Inglis clipped off the bails after receiving the throw and appealed for a run-out.
