Afghanistan pulled off yet another giant killing on Wednesday, beating England by 8 runs in their crucial Champions Trophy match in Lahore. This was Afghanistan's second win over England at an event organised by the International Cricket Council (ICC), having also beaten them at the 2023 ODI World Cup in India. Back then, former India all-rounder Ajay Jadeja was their mentor and did not charge any fee for his services. This time, Afghanistan had appointed former Pakistan captain Younis Khan as their mentor for this tournament. Similarly, Younis too did not have any financial benefits.
Three teams still remain in the hunt as the Group B in the ICC Champions Trophy nears an enthralling conclusion. South Africa and Australia top the charts with three points each to their name - courtesy of one win and one washed out contest each. On Friday, as second-placed Australia take on third-placed Afghanistan, nothing less than a win would guarantee their Champions Trophy semi-finals progression. But, the battle isn't only expected to be resolved using bat and ball, with the weather conditions in Lahore also expected to play a significant role.
The legendary Sachin Tendulkar led the cricket world in showering praise on Afghanistan for their stunning eight-run victory over England in the Champions Trophy, saying their wins "can't be termed as upsets anymore." Batting first, Afghanistan rode on opener Ibrahim Zadran's brilliant 177 off 146 balls to post 325 for seven in Lahore on Wednesday, and then, Azmatullah Omarzai's (5/58) exploits with the ball restricted England to 317 all out to keep their semifinals hopes alive.
Afghanistan continued their meteoric rise in the world of cricket as they beat 2019 World Cup winners England in their second Group B game of Champions Trophy 2025. With the match being a virtual knockout game, Afghanistan defeated England by eight runs in a thriller. This was Afghanistan's second successive win over England in a 50-over ICC tournament, having beaten them in the 2023 World Cup as well. Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan then won hearts by doing his signature dance steps to celebrate Afghanistan's win.
Australia left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc on Thursday revealed the reason behind pulling out from the ongoing ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is taking place in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Starc was originally named in Australia's preliminary squad for the eight-team event but was a notable absentee when the two-time champions revealed their final group of 15 players earlier this month. Australia said at the time that Starc had withdrawn from the tournament due to personal reasons and they supported the move.
