South Africa (315/6) defeat Afghanistan (208) comprehensively by 107 runs to start their ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign on a high

Klaasen ki Dehshat.

They didn’t announce he isn’t going to play until the very last moment just to breath more pressure on Afghanistan
 
This is a champions trophy match thread... stay on topic instead of bringing personal stuff here
 
Feel like a grandpa coming back to Cricket. Who are these players, don't know most of them. 🥲
 
Imagine in the year 2025, manz getting made fun of because he wants to see sixes in the powerplay
 
Rashid's spell is where the game could be won or lost for South Africa.

He is another bowler like Bumrah who takes pitch out of the equation.

Anyone feels rickelton plays like prime QDK.

Slightly different styles

QDQ has supreme shots for six against elite world class pacers

Rickleton isn’t there yet

QDQ golf swing pick up to Archer on a length is one of the most supreme shots in modern white ball cricket

I didn't, I picked van der dussan, makram and klaseen as my main batters and none of em are put. Yaar this day can't get any worse.

Infact it'll get worse tmr, Aus will get demolished by England 🤦🏻

I also picked markram.
I picked atal,zadran and gurbaz fro afg.Hopefully one of them scores big.
 
Rashid is bowling too quick. He needs to slow down. This isn't t20
 
No that will be close.
Both are minnow level currently with head giving aus a slight edge.

Aus is head or bust unless Steve smith and Carey manage to do something which is doubtful.

And their bowling attack isn't anything special either
 
THREAD IS NOT ABOUT CAREY OR AUSTRALIA... PLEASE TALK ABOUT THE CURRENT GAME

Gulbadin with the ball = easy runs

Afghan team is miles better than ours. I would have omerzai in our team anyday he has been expensive today but he bats at number 4 name a pace bowler we have ever had who does that. Gulbadin is their version of our faheem
 
SA have done enough to win this game comfortably.

They are now set for 275-300 score and unlikely Afg can chase unless Gurbaz scores half of the target himself
 
TBH Gulbadin is light years better than Faheem.

Omarzai is probably the best or second best seam-bowling all-rounder in white-ball in the world. Gulbadin is garbage though. In T20 maybe you can justify his place. In ODI there is no reason why he should be in this side.

They are a good team on their day and can shock any opposition. But they also have numerous cracks that can be easily exploited. If their spinners don't fire, their batting can look pedestrian. Especially when put under pressure.
 
read some1 that there are over 300k Afghans in Karachi , not seeing many in stadium ... lil Tembu is a gritty bugger btw ! 113/1 in 22
 
Where is the croad?? Pakistan is hosting the ICC tournament after 30 year's still no crowd. Pathetic

:kp
 
This is still a good pitch for seamers. Whenever seamers have hit anywhere between 6-10 m , scoring has been tough. Afghan seamers are simply not good enough.
