ICC World Cup 2023: Afghanistan (284 all out) beat England (215 all out) by 69 runs in shock ICC Cricket World Cup win

[Mas-LFC]

Wow! Afghanistan well done! Did the asian countries proud!

 

[sweep_shot]

I think Afghans should bowl spin now and finish off the game.

Their NRR is poor due to two heavy defeats. Need to repair it.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is not even Choking. I don't think ENgland will win even if they add two more batsman to this line up lol They are being comprehensively thrashed

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It's over now and another big loss to England after NZ, big hit to their chances, Aus/Eng game will be even more important for both of them now.

 

[Champ_Pal]

now it’s curtains down for England. Well played Afghans.

 

[rhony]

If England loses this, Eng and AUS will be fighting for the 4th SF spot along with Pak.

 

[MMHS]

Well played Afghanistan- Mujeeb MoM for me

 

[FearlessRoar]

Harry Brook c †Ikram Alikhil b Mujeeb Ur Rahman 66 (61b 7x4 1x6) SR: 108.19

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Wood gonna channel Stokes

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

4 by wood

 

[jnaveen1980]

On a tiny ground like this they have hit just one six lol NO attempt to hit either. This is just poor batting by England.

 

[sweep_shot]

I think England's tail should start hitting. Not much to lose.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

If England loses this, Eng and AUS will be fighting for the 4th SF spot along with Pak.

Not great for any of those sides really, but Afghans have shown what can be achieved with a fierce mindset.

 

[sweep_shot]

On a tiny ground like this they have hit just one six lol NO attempt to hit either. This is just poor batting by England.

Yes. I was surprised.

They didn't even try to take on Azmat (part-time pacer).

 

[jnaveen1980]

If England loses this, Eng and AUS will be fighting for the 4th SF spot along with Pak.

That will make Eng vs Pak and Aus vs Pak interesting. I have to say even BD vs Aus will be interesting.

Gurbaz's innings >>>> Rizwan's hundred

[jnaveen1980]

They should have sent Adil Rashid Ahead He is very positive

 

[sweep_shot]

They should have sent Adil Rashid Ahead He is very positive

Could've tried him as a pinch-hitter.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is world class stuff from Afghan spinners

 

[Justcrazy]

England need 104 runs in 84 balls.

2023, Afghanistan

 

[Visaal-E-Yaar]

Wood slogged for 4.

 

[sweep_shot]

Good over for England. 9 off it.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan on top here.

 

[Srinath_cricket]

Go afghans!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Gurbaz's innings >>>> Rizwan's hundred

Gurbaz is a more impactful batter than any Pakistani batter including Babar. But his fans will call anyone a hater for pointing out facts

 

[jnaveen1980]

You cannot allow spinners to get settled on these pitches.

 

[rhony]

They should have sent Adil Rashid Ahead He is very positive

Ahead of who. They are all aggressive

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghans would want to wrap this up here.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Gurbaz is a more impactful batter than any Pakistani batter including Babar. But his fans will call anyone a hater for pointing out facts

Gurbaz is an updated version. He has outplayed Buttler too here.

England barring 2019, Morgan, peaking etc are just a terrible ODI World Cup team

 

[FearlessRoar]

 

[Syed1]

Lol what is happening

 

[Ali Active]

Lol afghanistan can still lose from here they don’t know jow to finish off

 

[Devadwal]

Poor from mujeeb .there was no need of any throw

 

[JaDed]

Lol , Afghans can play fierce cricket but don't know how to win, giving away dumb runs.

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Afghanistan choke mode [ON]

 

[jnaveen1980]

England giving upsets during CWC in India

2011, Ireland

2023, Afghanistan

2011 was probably an upset as a freak innings was needed. This is not so much of an upset. This is Afghanistan bullying England.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Lol , Afghans can play fierce cricket but don't know how to win, giving away dumb runs.

They need a calm captain. Give the same team to MS Dhoni i am sure he will take it to Semi final.

 

[LegendAli]

Never seen Stokes this devasted before, not even when he got thrashed by Braithwaite, sad stuff.

 

[jnaveen1980]

They will never drop Moeen going forward

 

[Mas-LFC]

Still plenty of runs to get. Don’t panic Afg. Keep bowling them tight. England tailenders got to make the runs!

 

[PakPremi]

Gurbaz's innings >>>> Rizwan's hundred

No it was not.

 

[topspin]

Gurbaz is a more impactful batter than any Pakistani batter including Babar. But his fans will call anyone a hater for pointing out facts

Couldn't agree more but guys like hitthestump will tell you Rizwan is the only Pakistani player who would make India's team.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Just slow it down, man. The pressure is on England. Dont give extras and just keep it tight.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans should try to win with a good run rate. Their NRR is poor (after 2 big losses).

 

[jnaveen1980]

Superb shot by WOod. ANother fighter.

 

[Nasty Naz]

England losing against Afghanistan? You absolutely love to see it and it keeps that 4th spot open for Pakistan.

 

[Kriketer]

Excellent game by Afghanistan. Happy they are winning against a strong side in WC.

Pakistan-Afghanistan match will be a cracker!! we don't have Naseem to rescue us this time

 

[jnaveen1980]

Not being proactive enough let ENgland down.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

This game is not yet done

 

[JaDed]

Lol everyone is forgetting Bangladesh VS England 2015.. England has a history of this.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Afg can’t get carried, no sloppy play. Hold your nerve! Game is yours!

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Lol everyone is forgetting Bangladesh VS England 2015.. England has a history of this.

Ireland 2011

 

[JaDed]

Excellent game by Afghanistan. Happy they are winning against a strong side in WC.

Pakistan-Afghanistan match will be a cracker!! we don't have Naseem to rescue us this time

So glad we didn’t play Pak there.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Where is Nabi? Bowl him out. Your seamers are mostly crap and especially so under pressure.

 

[topspin]

Afghanistan are heavy favourites against Pakistan on a Chennai wicket. I give them a 70-80% chance.

 

[jnaveen1980]

England could have promoted curran to get some quick runs.

 

[JaDed]

Ireland 2011

Yeah I meant everyone is saying 2011 but even in 2015 this happened. Zim in 1999 as well.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans should win but they are missing out on a big NRR boost.

I think England may get close.

 

[PakPremi]

Gurbaz is a more impactful batter than any Pakistani batter including Babar. But his fans will call anyone a hater for pointing out facts

Rizwan is also keeping wickets 50 overs and is a different player to Gurbaz, both have big impacts for their teams.

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Raaaashid, c Nabi B Raaashid

 

[Devadwal]

Gone

 

[jnaveen1980]

Rashid dismissed Rashid I have said it first

 

[sweep_shot]

Rashid gets Adil.

England - 198/9.

 

[JaDed]

Afghans should win but they are missing out on a big NRR boost.

I think England may get close.

They are not in the running, they just need to win against couple of big teams , they dont have it in them for ODI

 

[rhony]

Rashid super star!!

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Where is Nabi? Bowl him out. Your seamers are mostly crap and especially so under pressure.

Like I said, keep spin on. Adil gone.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Rashid Khan...what a warrior.

 

[Ahmed216]

So glad we didn’t play Pak there.

Lol. When did they last play cricket in Chennai??

 

[hamzie]

Huge result for Pakistan
Boys played well

Who said this is a 400 wicket

 

[jnaveen1980]

MVP stuff Rashid & Mujeeb. Both batted well too

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Rizwan is also keeping wickets 50 overs and is a different player to Gurbaz, both have big impacts for their teams.

Rahmanullah Gurbaz v Mohammad Rizwan

Combative opening keeper-batsman with SR of 150 and a batter who plays t20 like a Test match

[sweep_shot]

They are not in the running, they just need to win against couple of big teams , they dont have it in them for ODI

You are right but they can't just give up. They should aim for semi.

 

[Thanos]

Buttler , sad for him

 

[jnaveen1980]

Atleast one English man will be happy today. Jonathan Trott.

 

[chinaman00]

Brave Afghans.

This team will punish Babar and his Buddies XI

 

[JaDed]

This WC has become very very interesting now.
