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

[Syed1]

At this point Afghanistan looking like a better team than us.



If not played with Shadab and Nawaz

 

[hitthestump]

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

It’s curtains for Pak too.

There’s no way we can play this world class spin attack.

 

[jnaveen1980]

This is a historical moment for Delhi crowd to witness. Afghanistan beating a major nation for the first time in world cup. That too defending champions.

 

[Rana]

No it was not.

It was

He wasn’t even out due to his mistake, he was set to smash 150+ against the world champions

 

[SpiritOf1903]

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

South African..

 

[sweep_shot]

England's World Cup campaign is probably over.

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped?

 

[Syed1]

Think England can forget doogna lagaan this time.

 

[rhony]

C'mon man!! Can't drop those

 

[JaDed]

It’s curtains for Pak too.

There’s no way we can play this world class spin attack.

Lol , unless your bowlers screw this up heavily no way will Afghans make 250.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Good to hear encouraging noise for Afghanistan from Delhi crowd.

 

[zaidihusain]

What happened to Afghanistan when they played against India? Today I am seeing totally different kind of energy level

 

[PakPremi]

Rahmanullah Gurbaz v Mohammad Rizwan

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

ppforum.pakpassion.net

Did he keep today?

 

[Rana]

Afghanistan need another opener, drop a seamer and push Zadran to 3

 

[jnaveen1980]

If Stokes and Moeen come right now i don't think they can win either.

 

[adzzy786]

It’s good news for Pakistan if Afghanistan beat England

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Did he keep today?

ok

 

[jnaveen1980]

What happened to Afghanistan when they played against India? Today I am seeing totally different kind of energy level

It is more to do with England

 

[Amjid Javed]

If Afghanistan win here this blows the world cup top 4 scrap wide open

 

[Devadwal]

Lots of support for afganistan in stadium

 

[Mp812]

Naseer Hussain in commentary sound like he will burst into tears anytime now as England reach 200 for 9 against Afghanistan chasing 285

 

[jnaveen1980]

Atherton: This is not a raging turner. Good surface.

He is spot on. This is not a difficult wicket at all to bat on. But England made it look that way without any proactive attacking cricket

 

[SpiritOf1903]

In this match, Rashid got Rashid out. And Rashid got Rashid out.

[Devadwal]

Where is Nabi ? Bring him to attack

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Still bowling seamers? Get Nabi on, man. Don't overrate your pacers, they will leak at the death.

 

[sweep_shot]

Afghans gave away many free runs. They need to work on that.

 

[adzzy786]

Can England win this?

 

[Rana]

The legendary Farooqi choke

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This WC has become very very interesting now.

Indeed Aus/Eng, SL/Eng, Pak/Eng and then matches for all those teams as well. This is great about this format, you lose a game you are not supposed to and it throws everything in disarray not only for you but others as well.

 

[Devadwal]

Can Afganistan choke from here

 

[sweep_shot]

England's tail is always capable with the bat.

 

[mominsaigol]

What the? England is about to lose? How? I skipped today cause I thought it was going to be one sided.

My prediction was wrong?

 

[Rana]

If Afghanistan win here this blows the world cup top 4 scrap wide open

Australia are back in it with a win against Pakistan

 

[jnaveen1980]

England allowed Afghanistan to make 51 runs in the last 5.5 overs when they only had 3 wickets.

 

[sweep_shot]

Three boundaries. Damn!

Topley is hitting well.

 

[mominsaigol]

Can Afganistan choke from here

Naw

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Pathetic seamers. Reminiscent of last night 2nd innings. Get Nabi on .

 

[topspin]

“Rizwan is the only Pakistani player who gets into the India squad”

-Hit my stumps

Needs to hit himself with the stump. That's one way to carry out a factory reset.

The guy used to come up with lines like "it's like teaching calculus to a 5 year old". Imagine having the nerve to come up this

 

[SpiritOf1903]

England threw away their wickets.

 

[Mas-LFC]

Farooqi is throwing pies to the English tailenders! Getting over excited. Simple thing length will do!

 

[gazza619]

Wow who would have thought

 

[SpiritOf1903]

Bowled!!!!!ll



ZINDABAD Afghanistan

 

[Sherazkhalid]

It's all over now.

 

[adzzy786]

Afghanistan win

 

[DeadlyVenom]

England lose to a minnow again in a world cup!

 

[Devadwal]

Win for AFG

 

[IAJ]

All over! Congrats AFG brothers

 

[jnaveen1980]

YES !! Congrats Afghan. Glad i watched it live. Historical moment.

 

[sweep_shot]

Congratulations, Afghanistan.

They won by 69 runs.

 

[Cpt. Rishwat]

Done and dusted. Well played Afghanistan.

 

[rhony]

Can't complain about the pitch when even tail is scoring in double figures. Kudos to the Afghans for a remarkable win. They thoroughly deserved this.

 

[Rana]

The guy is Rizwan’s English version

Of course you can expect views that are not on this planet from him

 

[topspin]

Gurbaz MOTM

 

[SpiritOf1903]

England’s Nos 9-11 have all outscored six of the top eight.

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

Ladies and gentlemen... I give you England ... the defending world champions....

 

[Sherazkhalid]

I am glad they won against England, might be a notch down against us due to all their euphoria.

 

[JaDed]

Congratulations to Afghanistan, they will be very happy with this win!

 

[jnaveen1980]

Mentaly midgetry batting by England with so much batting depth.

 

[Mas-LFC]

It’s over! Afghanistan won by 70runs! Big win and huge loss for England in which will dent their NRR!

Congratulations Afghanistan

 

[shokz1408]

We needed that, give Pak a bit more breathing room to qualify.

 

[JaDed]

What happened to Afghanistan when they played against India? Today I am seeing totally different kind of energy level

Lol is India the only team they lost to?

 

[jnaveen1980]

Athers says this is one of the greatest upset. How? For the entire 50 overs Afghanistan was dominating England.

 

[sweep_shot]

Margin of win could've been much bigger. Afghanistan gave away 20-30 extra runs unnecessarily.

Very well played nonetheless.

 

[Saanji]

Increases pakistan's chance for qualification..

 

[Nasty Naz]

What an epic upset. Afghans beat the defending champs.

Doesn't feel great to root for Afghanistan but at England's expense, its always welcome. Really hoping both Australia & England continue to humiliate themselves in this WC.

 

[Justcrazy]

Afghanistan won by 69 runs

That is the first surprise of the WC !

England big hitters crumbling , India looking even more stronger now.

 

[JaDed]

We needed that, give Pak a bit more breathing room to qualify.

Could make them complacent as well.

 

[Rana]

We needed that, give Pak a bit more breathing room to qualify.

Lol England will not let Pakistan breath at all now

 

[PakPremi]

Overall a good performance by Afghanistan bowlers especially their spinners. England bowling was all over place.

 

[Sherazkhalid]

This makes SL/Aus interesting too, SL beat Aus and they feel the 4th spot is theirs, let's see how they feel after failing to defend such a big total.

 

[Saanji]

Australia at bottom of the table

 

[apnapind]

It’s curtains for Pak too.

There’s no way we can play this world class spin attack.

Lol pak played them and beaten them easily

 

[jnaveen1980]

Time to visit English media melt down

Only player who gets into the Indian squad is naseem and abrar.

Naseem is gun and they'd gladly take him over thakur and shami, they'd also groom and rest him well to avoid shoulder injuries.

Abrar is unknown but they'd love someone who can genuinely replace jadeja or ashwin down the line, and probs groom his bowling skills and batting skills since abrar has shown he loves to tonk and has show magic with the ball.

Everyone else they'd discard . Ik for sure, not batsmen is entering into the Indian unit lol

 

[FearlessRoar]

What A Win by Afghanistan against World Champion England

 

[Rana]

Pakistan needed England to win this

There is no way they are going to go easy on them in their penultimate game if they haven’t already qualified

 

[Iamcoolwhiz]

I am glad they won against England, might be a notch down against us due to all their euphoria.

Or pumped up and raring to go... full of confidence after beating the defending world champions and thinking they can beat anyone now

 

[Sherazkhalid]

Aus sitting at the bottom of the table, who would have thought of that.

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

What a win.

Bazballers forgot to play Bazball. This pitch was tailor made for Bazball.

 

[Nikhil_cric]

It’s over! Afghanistan won by 70runs! Big win and huge loss for England in which will dent their NRR!

Congratulations Afghanistan

Forget NRR. They lost to a bottom 4 side! England's chances of qualification look worse than PAK and OZ. This is a blessing in disguise for PAK and Australia.
