"Pathetic Drainage System": Pakistan Slammed After Afghanistan vs Australia Champions Trophy 2025 Game Washout

It was a poor drainage system at Pakistan's Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore that saw the Afghanistan vs Australia 2025 Champions Trophy match being washed out on Friday. Rain arrived during Australia's chase at the venue and continued for around 30 minutes. Even that proved to be a lot for the ground's poor drainage system as the match was forced to be called off despite a wait of more than one hour. The ground staff tried a lot but failed to keep the umpires hopeful about the safe resumption of the game. They even used mops and sponges, but the surface was still left with a lot of water after an hour of action by the staff on the ground.

Steve Smith Hails Bowlers After Australia Book Champions Trophy Semifinals Berth

Australia's stand-in skipper Steve Smith lavished praise on his disciplined bowlers after the team secured a semi-final spot in the ongoing Champions Trophy following a rain-abandoned match against Afghanistan on Friday. Australia was in control at 109/1 in 12.5 overs, chasing 274, when a downpour left the field waterlogged. Following a two-hour delay, the match was called off, ensuring Australia's qualification with four points. "That's what we were after in the start, to finish in the top two and qualify for the semis. I thought the guys did a good job, made good changes and took wickets in the middle. Did well to restrict them to 270 and we were in a good position," said Smith in the post-match interaction with the broadcaster.

"Younis Khan Said No To Pakistan To Work With Afghanistan": Ex-Star's Big Reveal
