🏏 Cricket World Cup 2023: Match #13: England vs Afghanistan 🏏 - Page 74

And....breathe. A monumental win for Afghanistan, a huge wake-up call for England. Three games in, and both teams have two points. Still not out of the hunt, but neither has much margin for error left. England have been in such situations before, most recently at the T20 World Cup after they lost to Ireland. But the road does get tougher for them, with a clash against South Africa awaiting next Saturday. Afghanistan's next game, meanwhile, takes them to Chennai, where they will face New Zealand, and on the back of this win, Afghanistan will fancy their chances again.

Congrats Hinna and Vijay

Well, almost every World Cup fan dreaded another one-sided contest today, considering both sides' World Cup pedigree. Who would have thought, though, that Afghanistan would bundle England out for 215 and win by 69 runs. The best part is that the result, for a large chunk of this second innings, seemed inevitable, and that is perhaps the greatest praise Afghanistan can receive tonight.

Farooqi got the ball rolling with the wicket of Bairstow. Mujeeb then castled Root, before Nabi sent Malan packing. Buttler perished to a devilish Naveen in-swinger, leaving Brook to do almost all of the heavy lifting. He made a pretty decent fist of it but support was not very forthcoming, meaning that the defending champions ultimately crumbled to a shattering defeat.

England, for most parts of this run-chase, looked tentative. Afghanistan anything but. And that sort of sums up how we have gotten here. This evening in Delhi belongs to Afghanistan, and even if their World Cup campaign does not quite go to plan in the next few weeks, they will always have Delhi, and this performance that has sent shockwaves throughout the cricketing world.

good one Darshi. So happy for AFG. What an upset for Eng

I am sad

But a bit happy at the same time, i got 40 points

I was sure shot about at least getting 200 points. It looks like,none did good today:/

Forgot to submit my predictions but no loss. I would have picked Malan, Root and an England bowler
