As time passes, the England team is facing more and more pressure, the bowlers of the Afghanistan team will have to keep the target. The current partnership of the England team Root and Jos Butler can only ensure the victory of the Afghanistan team if these two batsmen can be dismissed.
Because the England team has already collected 162 runs in 29 overs for the loss of 4 wickets, the top attacking batsmen have fallen. In today's match, the bowlers of the Afghanistan team will have to work hard and play their role to ensure their victory.

Afghanistan's chances of winning are very high at the moment, especially if Joe Root gets out, then it will not be possible for England to win this match.

At the moment, England need 76 runs from 50 balls, although Joe Root is unbeaten with a century, meaning England's entire reliance is solely on Joe Root. If England's Joe Root is out, all chances of England qualifying for the Champions Trophy will be over.

10/10 to Afghanistan for showing such a fighting spirit in this crucial game. The game is still in progress and England at the moment need England need 19 runs in 16 balls. Afghanistan desperately need a wicket at the moment, a wicket here can surely turn the game in favour of Afghanistan. Earlier we saw a brilliant knock from Ibrahim Zadran who scored 177 runs with S/R of 121 runs. Match at the moment is fairly balanced and it can be anyone game. It's no doubt the most interesting game of Champions trophy so far.

Afghanistan has managed to win this game. This was really a cricket game at its best. England needed just 13 runs in the last over. However, their problem was that they had only one wicket left. They got for four runs in the first four balls of the last over and then Adil Rashid was out searching for a six.

Afghanistan really showed some strength and character in this match. England also chased well, but in the end, 325 was too much for them and they failed. England is out of the Champions Trophy, while Afghanistan is one step closer to the semi-finals. They still need to beat Australia in their last match.

[Bitcoinsummoner]

Afganistan Beat England. So, Afghanistan isn't a normal team that fights against any high-performing team like England, Australia, South Africa. Again, 325 runs is not a poor score. Ibrahim Zadran 177 from 146 balls. To collect these runs he got 6 sixs and 12 fours. Only he fought alone against England. He's absolutely brilliant. Talented guy. When he was three down at the beginning, it was too much pressure. But the partnership  Azmatullah Omarzai and Ibrahim did was special. I think it was one of the best ODI innings I have ever seen.

[Bitcoin_people]

Afghanistan's batting performance today is really commendable as they batted so well and won against England. Ibrahim Zadran's batting performance was outstanding which inspired the audience a lot. He scored 177 runs but just missed out on a double century. He was the highest scorer for the team. Afghanistan gave England a target of 325 runs which they failed to achieve. They tried hard to beat Afghanistan in this match but they were bowled out in the end. England lost by just 8 runs which was very painful for them. England lost today's match and they were eliminated from the Champions Trophy.

[ZAINmalik75]

AFG lost early wickets, thought they are going nowhere today either but after that Zadran-Shahidi have stabilized the innings, Zadran specifically is looking in great touch, and now things aren't looking so bleak for Afghans at least.

First upset of the tournament are finally being register, Afghanistan beat england for the first time unexpectedly in icc Champions trophy and also beat them for second time in any icc ODI format tournaments. Honestly I was sure about england win right before the match because compared to them Afghanistan hasn't good stats in ODI format, but I think it was thier day and they played thier supreme cricket especially the emerging talented man Ibrahim zadran who almost single handedly able to scored 200 around in such crucial situation against top pacers, and out of no where put such huge figure on board, while on the other hand bowling does ordinary too and thus combinely get that vital victory.

Truly I never expected that the Afghanistan team could take run over the 300run against of the England team. Even though they took that score I thought England will win because as we know that England's batting lineup is much stronger but in reality we saw that they failed to stand up against the Afghanistani bowlers specially their medium fast bowler the Azmatullah Omarzai can you imagine where the opponent team is England and also the pitch is batting friendly and he took five wicket and the econ is under six.

After the defeat against Australia, England also failed to win against Afghanistan. England is in a very bad situation at the moment. Except for Root and Ben Duckett, no other player is in form. We have seen worse batting from Salt and Smith in both matches. If Joe Root had not played his 120-run innings, England would have lost by a bigger margin.

Even then, England tried to win in the end. England needed only 16 runs to win in the last two overs. But England lost two wickets by collecting 7 runs. Along with good batting, Azmatullah Omarzai bowled brilliantly in this match. Azmatullah Omarzai took 5 wickets.

Today in the 8th match of ICC Champions Trophy, Afghanistan opened their innings with Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran, who battled to establish a partnership of 11 runs. England bowlers got 2 wickets in the start. However, the middle-order partnership grew to an impressive 140 runs. Ibrahim Zadran shined brightly as he scored an astonishing 177 runs. Zadran was dismissed at 323 runs. Afghanistan set a challenging target of 326 runs. In the second innings, England began their chase with Phil Salt and Ben Duckett, but their partnership was just 19 runs. Though Afghanistan started strongly by taking early wickets, the tide began to shift as Joe Root found his rhythm and scored 120 runs. The tension mounted as Afghanistan claimed 5 wickets at 216 runs. Despite their combined efforts, England fell just 8 runs short, finishing at 317 runs. Afghanistan won the match by 8 runs.

I did not expect England team to play like that when opponent team is not much strong. Afghanistan team displayed and outstanding performance today and proved that hard work and teamwork an unbeatable. Excellent job Afghanistan team.

The 8th match between Afghanistan and  England was played at Gaddafi Stadium. Afghanistan won the toss and elected to batting first. Afghanistan won game by 9 runs. England failed to chase record total runs 317 and lost the match. Afghanistan set a record total runs for 325 and wining the match.

Actually, it is not only the one person who didn't expect this performance. I thought after the abounded match of Australia vs South After I thought there is a chance for England team like if they beat Afghanistan in this match and also beat South Africa then they could be eligible for the next round. But it actually happened the opposite.

But it is really commendable performance the Afghanistani players specially Ibrahim Zadran he took 177run in ODI against  team like England that wasn't easy job. Anyway, their next opponent is Australia if they could beat them it would be also a history for them.

Another time, the hopes were high for Afghanistan. Afghanistan lost the first game against South Africa and as they started today had a loss of three wickets earlier by Jofra Archer. They were becoming confident in themselves and then after the first three wickets Afghanistan made a very big and good partnership that provided a huge advantage to them. The partnership was built by Ibrahim Zadran and Hashmatullah Shahidi and their following players. However, Ibrahim Zadran was also named the player of the game for his fantastic performance with his bat, 177, so close to touching 200.

Indeed, such a miracle performance in Afghanistan has really surprised us. It is really nothing but a miracle to be able to awaken their chances by defeating a strong team like England in the champion trophy and excluding them from the champion trophy. If Afghanistan had not lost to South Africa, they could have definitely won today's match and qualified for the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy.

However, Afghanistan will definitely want to pull off another miracle to win the next match that remains. But if that is the case, then it is certainly possible only through Afghanistan. However, Afghanistan's victory in today's match has certainly become a matter of concern for Australia.

When I saw this batsman he scored only 28 runs if he had not played well, we might not have seen Afghanistan winning this match today.  In this match, this batsman has won Afghanistan by scoring more runs which many people will be surprised to see, because many people expected that England is strong, that they will play well and weaken Afghanistan due to pressure but nothing happened due to which they lost.

England's batsmen have not played the entire innings of 50 overs their batsmen could not play the last ball due to which the entire team was out.  The Afghanistan batsmen made the target so much that England could not fulfill it and the Afghanistan batsmen won the match by 8 runs.  Congratulations to them for this win as they played a very good match and won.

Because Afghanistan is playing very strong and well in this year ICC matches and in today's match too, Afghanistan made a huge target which did not seem so big and strong in the beginning but as the overs are played the runs accumulate and the target became 325 and many people were thinking that England is stronger and Afghanistan will not be able to give such a big target but England bowler had no effect on Afghanistan due to which it was so big. Afghanistan has surprised everyone in this match which was going to be difficult for England and England batsmen scored only 317 runs in 50 overs which were on the verge of victory but Afghanistan bowler dismissed the whole team in 49.5 overs and won the match.

Watching the game, I initially thought that Afghanistan might not be able to score much today and win against England but in the end Afghanistan played very well and in a short span of time gave England a target of 325 runs. When England was given a target of 325 runs, I thought today's match would be very tough and exciting. But the game was very exciting because England came close to achieving Afghanistan's target. Anyway, congratulations to the hero of the victory, Afghanistan, for defeating England and winning today's match.

England lost today's match and they were eliminated from the Champions Trophy.

Azmatullah Omarzai took five wickets alone, and almost every bowler got a wicket and they performed well from their place. Today's victory was the most needed by the Afghanistan team, because this is how you have to perform against strong teams. England was able to defeat the team after attacking from both the bowling and batting sides, but I would say that Ibrahim Jordan, and Azamullah Omarzai from the bowling side played the most important role in this match.
 The England team was running out of time and was facing pressure quickly, in the end, the England team lost due to the pressure of wickets due to the high wicket fall.

Joe Root played responsibly, but he couldn't lead it to victory as the bowling is quite good. England hadn't expected such a performance from the Afghanistan team. As said, the team is performing extraordinarily in ICC matches. Now the Champions Trophy is getting heated up, as the England team has left the Champions Trophy. Now it's time for the three teams, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan, to decide the team to reach semifinals. Today another important match is scheduled between the host nation and Bangladesh. The team that loses leaves the tournament without a win.
