Despite capturing four wickets, Afghanistan was unable to slow down England in the eighth game of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which was contested on Wednesday at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Joe Root was still frustrating bowlers with a 326-run chase.
With a score of 177 against England, Afghanistan’s opener Ibrahim Zadran led his team to a huge 326-run target.
Hashmatullah Shahidi, the captain of Afghanistan, made the right choice by choosing to bat first, as his team scored 325/7 in the 50 overs they were given.
However, the Asian team’s innings got off to a different start as Jofra Archer destroyed their top order with three quick wickets, leaving them reeling at 37/3 in eight overs.
