Australia progress to semi-finals after their Group B match against Afghanistan in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 ends with no result due to wet outfield

[Bhaijaan]

Early breakthrough for Aussies.


Might Gurbaz out.

 

[followed]

Gurbaz is so overrated. He is terrible

 

[Devadwal]

Gurbaz is only Good at Playing for Leagues not for the Country

 

[Rana]

Gurbaz is only Good at Playing for Leagues not for the Country

Relax

He will be back

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Smith is such a tactically astute captain

 

[Devadwal]

No point playing the Tuktuk when they are likely to lose 3 wickets in The PP

 

[Rana]

Smith is such a tactically astute captain

Australia opted for him to respect his seniority,

Hoping for australia to teach india a lesson even with this weak team
Let's go australia..

 

[Hellion]

99 % batters will get dismissed by that ball from Johnson.

 

[Asif321]

Massive swing happening

 

[followed]

Spencer johnson is very good he will replace Mitchell starc soon.

 

[Rana]

Spencer Johnson is causing Tabahi in Lahore

 

[Asif321]

much needed sun for afghans

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

This used pitch is doing a fair bit

 

[Rana]

Free runs

It’s happening! It’s cooking!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

The first ball swung a fair distance after pitching. Next ball swung early.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

This used pitch is doing a fair bit

More because of overcast conditions and underlying moisture. Think it may have been covered because of all the rain.

 

[followed]

Spencer johnson is very good with decent pace. Decent enough to replace Mitchell starc.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Afghans need to preserve wickets upfront. The runs will come after the Powerplay.

Yeah you always make me cry with laughter due to your pendu insights

Lol Chacha kyon dmaag khraab kare.
Thand rakh.

Sediq puttar inspire ho ja! Bat long boy

 

[Devadwal]

Too much swing compered to last game . maybe due to overcast conditions .

 

[Nikhil_cric]

In helpful conditions , this kookaburra ball(2021 + version) is very difficult to face upfront.

The most the new ball has moved laterally . Much more than at any time since 2006.

 

[Devadwal]

Spencer johnson is unplayable at this moments .

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Pakistani bowlers must be saying why did we not get this wickket?

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Too much swing compered to last game . maybe due to overcast conditions .

They were 39/3 last game. They should simply look to not lose another wicket.

Keri tasali lol that zimbo is king? Hahhaha or 4ft chicken saud midget loser is "class player" lol 3rd class player.

 

[Bhaijaan]

All the glory hunters just waiting in their holes for a few wickets to fall. Then they will emerge and say see we told you. No chance against our Aussies. lol

 

[followed]

Spencer johnson is breathing fire but unlucky to not another one here.

 

[jattafridi]

Beautiful bowling

But need 3 more wickets before 25 overs

 

[Bhaijaan]

In moments like these you need fortitude of Rizwan

 

[mominsaigol]

Spencer johnson is unplayable at this moments .

Indian fan watching another group game eh?

 

[mominsaigol]

In moments like these you need fortitude of Rizwan

Or maybe ask putin to open for Russia. Atg Batsmen in the making

 

[followed]

Dwarshius is too slow but he can take the all-rounder spot. He can bat little bit.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Atal needs to survive until the end of 8 overs. The movement should reduce after that.

 

[FearlessRoar]

Lowest run rate in powerplay in ODIs since 2023

Afghanistan - 4.5
Pakistan - 4.8
New Zealand - 5

 

[Devadwal]

Atal needs to survive until the end of 8 overs. The movement should reduce after that.

He is rubbish Player . I don't know how they select him and playing at 3

Currently batting like Number 11

 

[followed]

Too many edges missed for Spencer johnson. Like Naseem he is bit unlucky to not get another wicket or two.

 

[Rana]

Lowest run rate in powerplay in ODIs since 2023

But but but wickets in hand means 400 total

Sediq guy must be parchi like imam the biggest parchi ever.

 

[Human786]

wonder if they can get 250 ... 30/1

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Has a lot of ability but hasn't done much in long formats so far.

 

[mominsaigol]

Imam would have been out at this point

That's true but this guy is riding on his luck as well. Spencer johnson is unlucky not to get his wicket.

Ball is swinging too much. OZ quicks should have bowled wobble seam on good length to make sure ball doesnt miss the edge

 

[Rana]

34-1 in 7 overs is a decent start given the conditions

 

[followed]

Ibrahim zadran is better than zimbo and company.

 

[adi_62941]

Brilliant broadcast and production. So much appealing to eyes and lush green outfield. Why cant PCB have such broadcasting quality in bilateral series. Spend some more money man and get best viewing experience, it will surely attract more eye balls.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Spencer and Dwarshuis have near identical actions

 

[followed]

This pitch has very good bounce as well.
Adam zampa will come in handy.

 

[FearlessRoar]

 

[followed]

Spencer is bowling a bit like Shaheen the wingless eagle all over the place.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Or given the ball to Nathan Ellis

 

[Hellion]

Pakistani bowlers must be saying why did we not get this wickket?

Pakistani batters like Bobby secretly happy that they are out of tourney before getting a pitch like this

 

[jattafridi]

Need wickets otherwise heartbreak for Australian fans

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great recovery boys.

We back in this brother

 

[Devadwal]

Need wickets otherwise heartbreak for wannabe Australian fans

Fixed

 

[shokz1408]

On this pitch Pak would have been 3 down at this point. I think Afghanistan need 300+ for a chance.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Or given the ball to Nathan Ellis

Yeah. He should've been given the ball after 3-4 overs.

 

[Rana]

Momentum with the Afghans

Keep going boys!

 

[jattafridi]

Omg dangerous partnership


Steven smith third class captain

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Very good PP for AfghanAtalan

 

[Rana]

Ibrahim looks set

He can bat all day on a deck like this

 

[Devadwal]

Very good PP for AfghanAtalan

Australia will score 80+

 

[Rana]

Fraser in the playing XI?

 

[jamie smith]

ATal play with intent.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Australia will score 80+

Let's see. This is a used pitch. Same pitch as AUS vs ENG I think.

Hopefully, it'll slow up for Afghans and no dew

 

[Rana]

ATal play with intent.

Tbf to him he is trying

It’s just too good for him.

 

[jamie smith]

Atal played with intent and will now reap the rewards.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Fraser in the playing XI?

Nope. Same OZ lineup as last match.

 

[aboveandbeyond]

Trott and Younis Khan combo In the Afghanistan coaching set up has given them focus.

 

[jamie smith]

Tbf to him he is trying

It’s just too good for him.

Oh sorry I was trying to write plays,just typing error.

 

[Rana]

I don’t understand this Ellis guy.


He’s a genuine 147kmh bowler. Every second or 3rd ball by him is a slow one. Doesn’t need to mix it ul this much so early in the innings

 

[jamie smith]

Afg off to a good start need to make it big now.

 

[jamie smith]

If there is swing in the 2nd innings also then another humbling for @mominsaigol 's fav player tulla head.

 

[followed]

Adam zampa straight to the business. Let's go..

 

[jamie smith]

Afg need to attack zampa.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Zadran gone. Huge wicket

 

[jamie smith]

Adam zampa straight to the business. Let's go..

OH zadran gone.
Afg out of the tournament.
