Afghanistan (325/7) defeat England (317) by 8 runs in a thriller to keep their hunt for semi-finals spot alive in ICC Champions Trophy 2025

[Asif321]

75 in 48 . Still gettable . Afghan need to end this quick

 

[BDfanforever]

What is good outcome? Eng has been terrible and want them kick out. Don't want Afg to go semi and give " easy" win to NZ/IND.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Get Joe out and end the misery for England.

 

[JaDed]

Pakistan have been heartless post 2019

I grew up watching Inzi Ijaz Anwar Afridi Razzaq I know lol.. in 1996 PCT used to play power play better than 2025.

Fakhar and Saim only ones i would care to turn tv on for.

@Aqib_mustafa

250 clearly wasn’t enough

 

[Hellion]

Why the fudge is Farooqui bowling ? He's injured. Getting destroyed by Overton.

 

[Bhaijaan]

It’s Afghanistan not Aus, played his part lol

Yes and Afghanistan can be a tricky side to chase 330 against. They’re no joke

 

[Asif321]

Fazal is known to bottle in crucial situations .

 

[sweep_shot]

What is good outcome? Eng has been terrible and want them kick out. Don't want Afg to go semi and give " easy" win to NZ/IND.

In order for Afghans to go to semi, they have to beat both England and Australia.

I want them to succeed. Their team is likeable.

 

[Devadwal]

England got this thanks to root Masterclass

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bad bad start for us

for England

 

[JaDed]

This has been the best game of the tournament so far but as usual this dude leaking runs now

 

[Bhaijaan]

Over the wicket ball kr bhai kya kar raha hae

 

[Asif321]

Game getting closer now . Afghans might bottle this

 

[sweep_shot]

Hahaha manhoos fazal . Better bowl gulbadin

I think Farooqi is injured. He was off the field hobbling earlier.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Believe boys.

We still got this.

Come on.

 

[Asif321]

One big over and it’s done

 

[Bhaijaan]

Couple of dotties to end the over.

Keep it tight now boys

 

[Bhaijaan]

One big over and it’s done

One wicket and it’s done for England

 

[batandballbattle]

that should be fazal's last

 

[JaDed]

Hopefully they don’t drop catches now.

 

[sweep_shot]

This has been the best game of the tournament so far but as usual this dude leaking runs now

Australia-England was the best game.

This one is 2nd best.

 

[Rana]

Australia-England was the best game.

This one is 2nd best.

This game is better

Very tense

 

[Bhaijaan]

Believe boys believe

Just 1 wicket Shaabash

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Why do Afghans have a blue kit?

 

[sweep_shot]

This game is better

Very tense

Aussies chased down 350+.

I would say that was better.

Aussies were something like 130/4. It was an Inglis masterclass.

 

[Bhaijaan]

This is a tense match. It’s turned into a fitness battle for both teams

 

[JaDed]

Smart batting by England

 

[sweep_shot]

Why do Afghans have a blue kit?

Always wondered this.

Their flag has black, red, and green. Why do they pick blue?

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Always wondered this.

Their flag has black, red, and green. Why do they pick blue?

That's not even their flag.

 

[Asif321]

Why do Afghans have a blue kit?

They have a red one too .

 

[Bhaijaan]

58 to win from 36

4 wickets to win

 

[Asif321]

That's not even their flag.

Well kiwis don’t have black on their flag too lol

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is getting dangerous for Afghanistan. They have not been a team who do well in crunch and pressure tight situations. They needed Rashid to get them another breakthrough.

 

[stani_pak]

That's not even their flag.

I always felt a black kit mixed a bit with there color of there flag would make a beautiful kit.

 

[Hellion]

Fazal trundler losing it for Afghanistan.

 

[sweep_shot]

That's not even their flag.

Isn't this their flag?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Crazy scoop from Root

Damn

 

[batandballbattle]

Afghans shooting themselves in the foot by continuing to bowl farooqi

 

[Asif321]

Told you fazal is bottler . Captain should trust nabi more than fazal

 

[Hellion]

Bowl Nabi you idiots

 

[BDfanforever]

Look at Omarzhai, he plays in multiple leagues around the world. And look at our Saifuddin playing useless Dhaka Leauge and wasting his career.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bhai ek wicket dilwado koi bhi

 

[Markhor]

Match of the tournament and it's not even close.

 

[JaDed]

Easy chase now two set batsmen

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Why do Afghans have a blue kit?

Why is Australia kit yellow? Australia flag is blue, red and white only

 

[The Bald Eagle]

Well kiwis don’t have black on their flag too lol

Kiwis simple

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great field from Rashid bhai stopped a run there

 

[Flat_Track_Bully]

Isn't this their flag?

No Taliban replaced it.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Root misses a reverse scoop. Dotty for us

48 to win from 5 overs

4 wickets to go

 

[RidiculousMan]

Isn't this their flag?

That's old flag. New one has Kalma in it with just black background.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Match of the tournament and it's not even close.

AUS v ENG was as close to this as it gets.

 

[Asif321]

Very tight . I think afghans will bottle it somehow

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Why don't you give Nabi , man? Seamers are getting hammered.

 

[Rana]

@RidiculousMan

280 wasn’t enough either

 

[Bhaijaan]

This has really been a batting masterclass from Joe Root absolute effortless stuff, and he keeps finding gaps like it’s so easy

 

[jnaveen1980]

Can't believe they couldn't stifle Root. His only extravagant shot is scoop

 

[Bhaijaan]

Cramping Joe Root taking 2 after 2 after 2

What commitment

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Root gone

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Root out

 

[Bhaijaan]

OUT

Joe Root gone
Joe Root gone

Believe guys !!!

We are still in it

 

[Aang_The_last_airbender]

Man, fighting against Black magicians is really really hard

 

[Asif321]

Wow azmat . He has bowled really well

 

[charlie007]

What an innings, Joe Root - well played!

 

[Bhaijaan]

 

[Mas-LFC]

Yesss!!!

 

[batandballbattle]

huuuuuuuuuge wicket
afghans well on top now

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

This is the difference between Kohli and others, he finishes the game while chasing.
Root gone

 

[shah_1]

Azamat is best AR in the world in this format

 

[Rana]

Archer, wood and Rashid all can bat

 

[Bhaijaan]

In comes Archer.

Utey chadh jao hun

 

[Nikhil_cric]

First ball four. Pressure back on AFG.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Cricket is a cruel sport

 

[Asif321]

This reminds me of Pakistan vs England Cwc19

 

[RidiculousMan]

This is the difference between Kohli and others, he finishes the game while chasing.
Root gone

I'm sure Root would've finished the game had he been chasing 240.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Archer smashes it for straight away.

God damn it

Cricket Meme of the year !

 

[Asif321]

Time for fazal to lose it all

 

[Nikhil_cric]

13 run over damaged AFG even though they got Root.

 

[Bhaijaan]

All boys come here, every English batter left now is a slogger. If they play 24 balls it’s over

We have to get 3 wickets here
