Big day for Afghanistan as they've won the match against England by 69 runs. One of the unexpected result of the World Cup have taken place today. Batting from Gurbaz is really impressive and missed his century for an unwanted run out. Ikram Alikhil contributed good when the team kept losing wickets. 284 runs is really good and an unlucky day for England as it is second loss in the World Cup. Pacers and spin bowling had contributed equally. At the tail end Rashid Khan took the Wickets for a faster win. Other than Harry Brook no solid score came from England players being the reason for the loss.

I think most gamblers today lose their bets. Such a good performance from Afghanistan, again against a strong team like England, I think it was unexpected by most people. I think England's loss to Afghanistan could set England back a lot in this World Cup. As Afghanistan have been one of the weakest teams in this World Cup, and lossing with them, England's lack of points in the points table will certainly be noticeable.
However, England's next matches are going to be against stronger team, so I think England lost a big advantage in this match. However today I will praise Afghanistan's batting performance more than their bowling performance. Because in this year's World Cup, it is seen that the run score is high in most of the teams. However, I would like to congratulate the Afghanistan team for their upcoming matches.

You cannot drop the whole shit on the bowlers it is impossible for them to prevent them from bating or taking wickets as they also go under pressure, the three wickets they take are their big achievement. The whole thing did are the middle order They were out on just 2 or 4 runs. In the beginning, the match went smoothly but after 140 runs they all dropped very easily just Rizwan and Baber gave the runs. It was very disappointing for the Pakistan Crickets fans we watched just for the aggressive battle but they won the match very easily you can't neglect the performance of the Indian team they are the strongest and have the ability to defeat every team in this World Cup and seem like they will win this world cup just like the Asia cup.

As bowlers are also part of the team, they should also make better for the Team but the Pakistani bowlers didn't play well. And I had already told that both batsmen and bowlers made mistakes. Firstly, the batsmen didn't play well at their spots, and then the bowlers didn't provide their best. This was the bad area of their play.

Recently they played brilliant cricket at Asia Cup and now they are not playing according to the plays they have to need. Looking at their top-order batsmen, their main pacers in bowling, all failed to provide a step ahead. I hope they should make themselves better in the upcoming matches if they want to make themselves up the points table.

I don't think its an upset as Afghanistan is as good as any test playing team in this tournament. England took the right decision of bowling first but its the Afghan batting that surprised English bowlers by giving a target of 285 runs today. England batting failed miserably today, they kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. England now have lost 2 of there matches in this WC and they don't have options to lose any of there remaining game.

Not an upset? Afg good as any test playing team? Seriously? They are only good in the T-20 format and perform pretty badly in other formats which is why you are wrong and this is definitely a huge upset.

What helped Afghanistan the most here is the spin friendly pitch and great batting performances by the top, middle and lower order.

Welp! There goes my awesome winning streak. The current World Cup champions are going to lose against Afghanistan which just goes to show the state of the England ODI team at present.

They are badly missing Stokes. Favorites to win the cup seem to be NZ, SA and India based on recent performances.

The team of Afghanistan played very well and they deserved to win this match and they won. Mujeeb Ur Rahman is the player of the match, his batting is not good but he do awesome bowling, he played wonderfully in today’s match. Not only does Mujeeb Ur Rahman play well other players are equally played like Mujeeb Ur Rahman. They also took too many wickets. Rashid Khan also took 3 wickets and also he gave just 37 scores and Mujeeb Ur Rahman gave 51 scores so I think that Rashid Khan should be the player of the match but Mujeeb Ur Rahman also did average batting so that’s why he had the player of the match. This is a happy moment for Afghanistan because they can come back for the World Cup. They won their first match of this World Cup.

This is the big upset match of 2023 in which England is beaten by Afghanistan. England all out on 215 runs as they failed to reach the given target of 285. Except for Harry Brook, no one played a good innings as he made 66 runs in 61 balls with 7 fours and a six. Except for this player, no one hits a six in the team England.

Whether Afghanistan played good cricket today, Rahmanullah Gurbaz scored 80 runs in 57 balls consisting of 8 fours and 4 blistering sixes. Also, Ikram Alikhil played some good shots for the side of Afghanistan with 2 sixes and 3 fours.

However, that was an upsetting game because, from the England team, we didn't expect that, even though they had a strong batting lineup and a strong bowling lineup. But sometimes it happens even with the best teams in the World.

England have lost 9 wickets and scored 199 runs so far and they still need 86 runs in 11 overs which they will not be able to do. Today's winner Afghanistan is sure that there is no way for England to win this match. England would lose all wickets before completing the full fifty overs. And with Afghanistan they will lose the match by a huge margin of runs. Afghanistan is batting as well as bowling brilliantly. However, England is far ahead of Afghanistan in the points table, yet it is unimaginable that England is losing so badly.

Agree with you, although England was in the favorite team list to qualify for the semifinals easily. But now it looks like it is going to be difficult for them. India, NZ and SA are definitely favourite for the semifinals journey now. I didn't expect that England will lose today's match. A great performance from the Afghanistan team. The presence of Stokes wouldn't make much difference in today's match. The spinners have done well for both teams.

The Afghanistan team had accumulated enough runs till the power play. If Afghanistan could collect runs in this way then surely a big score would have been gifted to the England team. But with the destruction of 4 wickets, the Afghanistan team faced a lot of pressure. Especially Adil Rashid of England team bowled 7 overs and destroyed 2 wickets with only 29 runs. In this way, if the Afghanistan team continues to lose wickets, it will not be possible to collect more runs. Because many of the England team are strong here, the chances of the England team winning today are very high.

Afghanistan played their best from the start today and I think the team managed to put up a good score. As Afghanistan were all out for 284 it was not a low run but a huge score. All in all, Afghanistan batsmen today put in a good batting performance to score so many runs against England. Although we know England to be a strong team, but looking at the lineup of Afghanistan bowlers in today's match, England seems to be under a lot of pressure. England couldn't bat very well from the beginning, but they had to bat under a lot of pressure due to the fall of wickets. With England's batsmen currently depressing, it looks like it will be very difficult for the team to win. Harry Brook is keeping the England team alive at the moment, having lost 6 wickets and scored 138 runs in 27.1 overs. If Harry Brook is out then the England team will definitely lose today, moreover the England team is under a lot of pressure due to the fall of wickets at the moment. England's chances of winning today seem very slim, and their poor batting performance has disappointed the visitors a lot.

I am actually shocked to see the performance from England. Afghanistan did well to get 284. But I still would have said that their target was never going to be enough for them to win against England. But looking at the score right now, I am not so sure about that. Right now, the score is 160/6. Almost 33 overs have been played.
England needs more than seven runs per over to win. And now they have only four wickets in hand. It was actually seven down for England but they just used a review.

Well, as I was writing this, they lost another wicket anyway. So it is seven down for them. Right now, the score is 160/7 after exactly 33 overs.

~snip~

The target of 285 runs has become quite big as the pitch is not batting friendly. Spin bowlers can do very well on this pitch. And so even though the England team is very strong, it will be very difficult for them to score 285 runs against the bowling attack of Afghanistan.
England stumbled early in the innings. They lost their first wicket for just 3 runs and lost two wickets for 33 runs. They lost 4 important top order batsmen before collecting 100 runs. Now Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi have become more difficult for England to deal with. England collected 108 runs in 19 overs. England need 177 runs in 31 overs to win.

With five of England's top-order batsmen out, the game looks like Afghanistan's win is only a matter of time. Only Harry Brook is on the wicket as a professional batsman. Sam Curran is a bowling all-rounder but he is not a quality batsman so it will be difficult for these two to pull this match out. If there was an experienced cricketer in place of these two, he would have definitely tried to pull this match out but since both are young players, it is difficult for them to hold their nerve.

151 runs is very difficult for England to collect from the current position but if these two cricketers can build a good partnership then they have chances to do well in this match. If England lose this match against Afghanistan, the fight to go to the semi-finals will be far behind.

Afghanistan surprised me by posting a total close to 300 which is a decent target though I don't think that will be enough to win against the English who have plenty of capable batsmen. Am expecting England to thrash them.

They need to trigger a batting collapse if they somehow want to win this match in my opinion.

Afghanistan's 284 is undoubtedly a big achievement but against a big team like England, this collection is not enough to win much. In the beginning, the Afghanistan bowlers were able to put great pressure on the England batsmen and England lost two wickets for 33 runs which is a cause of concern for the England team. If England's batsmen can't make a big wicket in today's match, there may be no chance of England winning against Afghanistan. But it must be said that Afghanistan are bowling brilliantly.

284 runs in the first innings is a big target for any team. England are a big team and they have a strong batting line-up but they should struggle to score 284 runs. England did not get off to a good start as they lost three wickets in the first 70 runs.
Losing three early wickets is a big blow for England as the three batsmen who get out early are very important for the team. Even after three wickets, I will still favor England as England have a number of match-winning players and they will surely try to leave the field with a win today. The betting rate for Afghanistan has been slightly reduced and the betting rate for England has been increased, however I will still favor England to win.

Still the performance of Afghanistan is admirable. Afghanistan made 106 runs in 14 overs. And they didn't lost any wicket. The first partnership is going well. If this partnership will remain on pitch so I am sure that Afghanistan will make 300+ runs and this will be a good target. And and will be little bit difficult to chase by England. By the way we can't say anything at this time. Let's watch who will win.

Afghanistan looking really improved after consecutive two defeats, I never expect that they will scored around 280 but they does which a quite positive indication for them but just like I previously explained that thier batting order is completely dependant on thier top 3, whenever they scored decently then they will have a big target but if some how they failed and unable to scored then Afghanistan will be definitely defeated brutally, so now gurbaz took the inning start magnificently and build a significant partnership with his firey innings which unfortunately doesn't go long and unexpectedly got runout. Later the momentum set by gurbaz Carry on by the young middle order batter and some other and thus Afghanistan scored a 280 around which is in think enough to defend by Afghanistan bowling lineup.

The 13 overs were passed away and England lost their 2 wickets of Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root. They both are very important and useful for England to win today’s match because, in today’s match, Ben Stokes is not playing because he is injured.

The fielding and Bowling going very well for the team of Afghanistan. The Afghanistan spinners and pacers do very good bowling and others do very well fielding. When the match started so Afghanistan team was paying very fast but now they have calmed down. The other wicket is gone which taken by Muhammad Nabi. The Afghanistan team want to win this match and you can see this clearly.

Afghanistan batted well early on, but came under pressure as wickets fell. Couldn't score much in the middle, but did a bit better towards the last. In the end, the Afghanistan team was all out for 284 runs. Against a strong team like England, one cannot expect to win on such a low target. If Afghanistan would have been able to target 320 plus runs then I think we would have seen a competitive match. Both Rashid and Mujeeb are not doing well at present, if both of them bowl well then Afghanistan will have some positives. But England is far ahead to win today's match.

Despite Rahmanullah Gurbaz's promising start, the other Afghan batters are losing their wickets at regular intervals. However, scoring 284 runs against England could be competitive, especially if the Afghan bowlers aim to defend it. They have a world-class bowling lineup that can be frightening on their day.

England is known for being involved in upsets, as seen in 2009 against Netherlands and in 2022 against Ireland. What if Afghanistan beats England today and pulls off an upset?
Here we go.. Farooqi got an early breakthrough.

Afghanistan bowlers and fielders are looking desperate to win this match and they are applying good pressure on the England team. This urge and passion to win were missing in yesterday's match for the Pakistan team. The Pakistan team were looking fearful yesterday while here Afganistan are looking to play aggressive cricket. That is the obvious difference between the two teams.

The result doesn't matter in the end if you have tried your best. Pakistan never looked to play as per their potential while Afghanistan's body language seems that they want to win today. Regardless of the result of the match, I think Afghanistan is showing a good show against the former World champions.

England vs Afghanistan match England won the toss and elected to field first against Afghanistan. The decision to field first has not been proved right by England so far as they have failed to take any wicket of Afghanistan so far. Afghanistan amassed 55 runs for no wicket after playing eight overs. 55 not out in the first eight overs against a team like England is a great start. If this wicket pair can make 120 to 150 runs then Afghanistan's score can be 300 plus. The way the two Afghanistan batsmen are batting, they seem to be very confident against the England first bowlers and so far they haven't played any wrong short to get out and we haven't noticed that much of a rush in their runs. Either England or Afghanistan will definitely win but as a cricket fan we definitely expect to see a good match.

Still the performance of Afghanistan is admirable. Afghanistan made 106 runs in 14 overs. And they didn't lost any wicket. The first partnership is going well. If this partnership will remain on pitch so I am sure that Afghanistan will make 300+ runs and this will be a good target. And and will be little bit difficult to chase by England. By the way we can't say anything at this time. Let's watch who will win.

The Afghanistan team playing very well. They put pressure on the England team and the Afghanistan team also lost their 1 review. Fazal Al Farooqi and the Afghani crowd put the pressure on England team. The Afghanistan team wants that no one can settle to play against them from the England team. They are all in a firing mood. The spinners come to bowl in just 4 overs, and every team do bowl with spinners after 7 to 12 overs in ODI. Afghanistan captains take risks, which is good because risks can change the game for them in their favour.
