The ICC Champions Trophy was inconclusive between Afghanistan and Australia in 2025. On Friday (28 February), the Australian team got a target of 274 runs to win in the match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Chasing the target, the Kangaroo team scored 109 runs for 1 wicket in 12.5 overs. After that, the game could not be done due to rain and wet outfield.
Afghani team needs blessings, this is the equation
Both teams got 1-1 points due to the match washed. Due to this, the Australian team reached the semi -finals with four points. While Afghanistan have only 3 points and it is very difficult to reach the semi -finals. By the way, there is still some possibility of qualifying the Afghan team for the semi -finals.
The Afghanistan team will reach the semi -finals only when the English team records a huge victory over South Africa in the match to be played in Karachi on Saturday (March 1). So that the net-revolution of South Africa decreases with Afghanistan. Let us know that Net-Ratra (+2.140) of South Africa is the best among all teams in this tournament. While Afghanistan’s net -revolution is -0.990.
Suppose if the South African team scored 300 runs while batting first, then England will have to chase that target in 11.1 overs. At the same time, the England team batting first makes 300 runs score, then the African team will have to lose by at least 207 runs. If this does not happen, the South African team will reach the semi -finals. That is, altogether Afghan fans will have to pray for their team.
Afghanistan, South Africa, England and Australia have been placed in Group B in the Champions Trophy. The Australian team is at the top in this group. Australia won a match when two of his matches were inconclusive. Australia’s net runrate is 0.475. South Africa has 3 points in two matches and is currently at number two. South Africa won one match, while it was inconclusive with Australia. Afghanistan’s team, which is at number three, has 3 points in 3 matches. At number four is the English team, whose account is not open and has been dismissed from the semi -final race.
Talking about Group-A, it has India, New Zealand, Bangladesh and Pakistan. India and New Zealand teams from Group-A have reached the semi-finals. However, which of the two team will be at number-1, it will be decided on March 2. Let us know that the New Zealand team is at number one with two wins in two matches in this group. Kiwi team’s net runrate is 0.863. On the other hand, the Indian team is currently in second place with two wins in two matches. India has 4 points and its net runrate is 0.647.
