Afghanistan’s win over England and the washout in Rawalpindi between South Africa and Australia have complicated Group B in the race for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 semifinal. Having knocked England out in the 2023 ODI World Cup, the Hashmatullah Shahidi’s side once again did the same when Jos Buttler’s side fell eight runs short despite a brilliant fight from Joe Root and others.
With two more matches to go in Group B, the battle for the top two spot got intense as the trio of Afghanistan, Australia and South Africa, are all in contention for a last four spot to join India and New Zealand.
