Afghanistan's performances at the 50-overs and Twenty20 World Cups mean there is no chance of Australia taking them lightly in Friday's Champions Trophy match, particularly with a place in the semi-finals on the line, coach Jonathan Trott said.
Jos Buttler said he would consider his future as England's limited-overs captain but will not make any emotional decisions amid calls for him to step down following their Champions Trophy exit.
The Champions Trophy 2025 once again experienced an instance of pitch invasion as a fan ran into the ground after Afghanistan's win over England on Wednesday. Following Afghanistan's thrilling victory in Lahore, a fan invaded the pitch and ran in to hug the players. However, he was caught by the security officials and escorted out of the field. This was not the first time that such incident happened during the competition as a fan ran into the field and tried to grab New Zealand batter Rachin Ravindra during the match against Bangladesh on Monday. Following the incident, media outlets reported that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) took serious note of the security breach.
India have already booked their spot in the Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal but their opponent is still not clear as multiple scenarios remain possible in Group B. While South Africa and Australia are the top 2 in the group right now, a sensational win against England on Wednesday kept Afghanistan's hope of reaching the knockout stages alive. With two matches to go in Group B, three teams remain in contention for the top spots with only England getting eliminated after two consecutive defeats.
England batter Ben Duckett was trolled brutally on social media for his old comment on the Indian cricket team after his side's elimination from the ongoing Champions Trophy 2025. Afghanistan registered a sensational victory over England on Wednesday as the Jos Buttler-led side was knocked out of the semi-final race. Following the defeat, social media users were quick to remind Duckett about his old comment where he said that he did not care about the 3-0 ODI series loss against India if England can beat the Rohit Sharma-led side in the Champions Trophy final. However, while India won both of their matches in the tournament, England were eliminated with one match in hand.
SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain: Endrick’s well-taken strike earned Real Madrid a 1-0 win at Real Sociedad in a tight Copa del Rey semifinal first leg clash on Wednesday. However there was controversy when just before half-time the match was briefly paused because of chants of “Asencio die” being aimed at Real Madrid defender Raul Asencio, according to Spanish media. A video subsequently emerged on social media of a Real Sociedad fan appearing to make monkey gestures at Vinicius Junior while the game was stopped. Spanish and European champions Madrid took control of the tie ahead of the second leg on April 1 at their Santiago Bernabeu stadium. Endrick pounced after 19 minutes, finishing with the outside of his boot after racing on to Jude Bellingham’s diagonal ball, and it was enough to claim his side the win. Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was without French superstar Kylian Mbappe after a dental problem as well as Fede Valverde and Thibaut Courtois. The Real Madrid boss chose to rotate his side ahead of the visit to face Real Betis in La Liga on Saturday and next week’s Champions League last 16 clash against Atletico Madrid. Despite his many changes, including starts for Arda Guler, Fran Garcia and Eduardo Camavinga, Madrid put on a solid showing at the Reale Arena in San Sebastian. Endrick sent Los Blancos ahead when Bellingham sent the 18-year-old attacker in on goal. After taking one touch to control, with his second Endrick stroked home stylishly at the near post. It was his sixth goal of the campaign, four of those coming in the Copa del Rey, where Ancelotti has given him the most chance to shine. Bellingham, who missed Madrid’s win against Girona in La Liga last weekend through suspension, looked fresh and helped his side
LIVERPOOL: Liverpool took another giant stride toward the Premier League title with a 2-0 win over Newcastle to move 13 points clear at the top of the table on Wednesday. Dominik Szoboszlai and Alexis Mac Allister were on target either side of half-time as the Reds further stretched their advantage after Arsenal were earlier held 0-0 at Nottingham Forest. Unbeaten in 24 league games, Liverpool are cruising toward a record-equalling 20th English top flight title but just their second in 35 years. Defeat leaves Newcastle down in sixth, three points adrift of the top four. Liverpool boss Arne Slot had to make do with a seat in the stands after being handed a two-match touchline ban for his red card in a fiery Merseyside derby at Everton earlier this month. With Slot’s assistant Sipke Hulshoff also banned, it was another member of his coaching staff — former Everton defender — Johnny Heitinga who patrolled the touchline. Newcastle were dealt a huge blow before a ball was kicked as 21-goal top scorer Alexander Isak was ruled out due to a groin injury. The Anfield crowd were in a mood to party after their side secured a statement 2-0 win at Manchester City on Sunday. And they were given plenty of reason to remain in good voice. It took the home side just 11 minutes to go in front when the lively Luis Diaz cut the ball back for Szoboszlai to roll in, although questions will be asked over Newcastle goalkeeper Nick Pope’s poor attempt to keep it out. The sides will meet again in the League Cup final on March 16. Despite a third defeat in four league games, there was some encouragement for the Magpies looking ahead to Wembley, especially if Isak is back fit. The Swede’s stand-in Callum Wilson had a huge chance to equalize when he
Al-Ittihad were held to a 1-1 away draw at Al-Khaleej on Wednesday thanks to a late, late penalty that cut their lead at the top of the Saudi Pro League from seven points to five.
