Afghanistan vs England Highlights, Champions Trophy: England faced a group stage exit from Champions Trophy 2025 after a shocking eight-run defeat to Afghanistan on Wednesday. Having lost their opening encounter to Australia, it was a do-or-die game for England. Similar was the case for Afganistan, who not only registered a historic victory but also kept themselves alive in the race for the semi-finals. Chasing 326, England were bundled out for 317, thanks to Azmatullah Omarzai’s five-wicket haul (5 for 58). However, the focus of the match was Ibrahim Zadran’s 177 off 146 balls that actually put Afghanistan in serious contention. Afghanistan were in tatters losing three wickets in the powerplay but that didn’t stop Zadran from playing a blinder. It helped Afghanistan post a big total 325 for 7 on the board after opting to bat first. (Scorecard)
