2025 ICC Champions Trophy - General Discussions

[Fenil]

Afghanistan scores 325 against England after being 37/3.

Ibrahim Zadran hammered whopping 177!!!

Also how good a servant Nabi has been for Afghan cricket. Apart from quality batsman and a decent bowler, he is one my favorite catchers too. Makes sky high catches look easy much like Harbhajan back in the day.

326 to chase will be tricky against Rashid, Farooqi and company.

That said, I do think England will chase this but Afghans definitely have given themselves a solid chance here.

Afghanistan bowling is there strength they reach the 20 20 semi final last year, how you so confident England will chase this down

I always find Ibrahim Zadran one of the most technically sound and compact players

Boy he has played a perfect one day innings today.

I have a feeling that England will win by their lower order batsmen. They don't really have a tail.

Noor Ahmad needs to deliver in Odi's like he is doing in T20's, I feel he will be the deciding factor of this match.

 

[Aravind.]

Common Noor get a wicket.

 

[Aravind.]

Hell Yeah...

Livingstone gone, over to the lower order now.

Their chance has come now. Root though, might get bigger down here. This could be the challenging element.

 

[Aravind.]

This Afgans game now, England needs a incredible knock.

 

[Aravind.]

Why Nabi at Long on, best match of the tournament so far.

 

[icyman]

Afghanistan and batsmen with cramps isn't a good combo.

Anyway, Root gone, but Afghans can very well end up ceding this. A couple of lusty blows from Overtone/Archer will tilt it in the favour of the English.

2nd time Afghanistan beat England in ICC Tournament... WoW... What a game...
