Ibrahim Zadran’s 177 and Azmatullah Omarzai’s five-wicket haul led Afghanistan to a thrilling eight-run victory over England in the Champions Trophy. Despite Joe Root’s impressive 120, England’s elimination was ensured as Afghanistan kept their semi-final hopes alive. The 23-year-old Zadran surpassed his previous ODI record of 162, crafting a masterful 146-ball innings that included 12 boundaries and six maximums.
