The Champions Trophy 2025 has reached a very exciting turn. There are now only 2 matches left in the group stage and 1 place is still vacant for the semi -finals. India and New Zealand teams have qualified from Group A. At the same time, Group B is getting a very good competition. Australia-Afghanistan match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore was very important given the semi-final race. This match was like doing or dying for both teams. But the rain spoiled the whole game, due to which the match had to be canceled. With this, 1-1 points were distributed between the two teams and Australia qualified for the semi-finals with 4 points.

However, Afghanistan is still not completely out of the tournament.

Afghanistan's team relying on England

Actually, Talking about Group B points table, Australia has qualified with 4 points in 3 matches. At the same time, South Africa is second with 3 points in 2 matches and net run rate of 2.140. Afghanistan is at number three with 3 points in 3 matches and NET run rate of -0.990. On the other hand, only 1 match is left in this group, which will be played between the teams of England and South Africa. England has already been out of the tournament, but a charismatic victory can open the fate of Afghanistan.

Actually, if the team of Igland defeats South Africa by a big margin, then Afghanistan's team can reach the semi -finals on the basis of net run rate. But it will not be less than any charisma. If the South African team bat first in this match, England will have to achieve target in 11.1 overs, only then South Africa's net run rate will go below Afghanistan. Or if England play first, then she will have to defeat it by a big margin. As soon as England score 300 runs while playing first, then it will have to win the match by a margin of 207 runs, only then the Afghanistan team will be able to qualify, which seems negligible.
