<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="afghanistan-vs-australia-match-review">Afghanistan vs Australia Match Review</h2>



<p>Kangaroo captain Mitchell Marsh won the toss and invited Afghanistan to bat first. Batting first, Afghanistan scored 148 runs at the loss of six wickets in 20 overs. Opener Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zadran kept the target in check from the team's side, Gurbaz scored 60 runs in 49 balls with the help of four fours and four sixes, while Zadran scored 51 runs in 48 balls.</p>



<p>After the dismissal of both openers, the team was seen struggling. Afghanistan lost their first wicket at 118 runs, and even after that, the team could score only 148 runs. In bowling from Australia's side, ODI captain Pat Cummins took three wickets for 28 runs in four overs. Right-arm legbreak spinner Adam Zampa took two wickets while Stoinis took one wicket.</p>



<p>The performance of the Australian openers who came out to chase the target of 148 was not very good. Travis Head got out on 0, and David Warner got out on 3 runs. But then Glenn Maxwell came between the victories of Australia and Afghanistan. Maxwell not only handled the Australian innings but also hit big shots against the Afghan bowlers. He played an innings of 59 runs in just 41 balls with the help of six fours and three sixes.</p>

<p>Maxwell had almost taken the match away from the Afghanistan team, then Afghan all-rounder Gulbadin Naib entered. Afghanistan's winning hero Gulbadin Naib took 4 important wickets for just 20 runs in four overs. He sealed the match for Afghanistan by taking the wickets of Glenn Maxwell, Marcus Stoinis, Tim David and Pat Cummins.</p>

<p>Australia, one of the strong contenders for T20 World Cup 2024, was all-out in 19.2 overs against Afghanistan. If Australia had managed to defeat Afghanistan today, India and Australia would have qualified for the semi-finals. But now that the tournament is fully open, Afghanistan's qualification hopes are still alive.</p>

<p>The Afghanistan National Cricket Team's sensational win over England by a margin of eight runs in the Group-A fixture of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025 has won the hearts of all Cricket lovers across the globe as this win helped them stay alive in the race of qualifying for the semi-finals. Not only this, the win also meant that Jos Butter-led England got knocked out of the tournament. </p>
<p>In this sensational clash played at the Gaddafi Stadium of Lahore, the Afghan Atalans batted first and put up a strong score of 325 runs on the board. Young Ibrahim Zadran played a magnificent knock of 177 runs, which is also the highest score ever recorded by a batter in the history of the tournament and this amazing knock allowed his team to cross the 300 run mark after losing two wickets in the powerplay. </p>
<p>The Three Lions, never looked comfortable and they eventually got bundled out for a score of 317 runs, and the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side won the encounter and changed the equation of the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. </p>
<p>Now, South Africa, Australia, and Afghanistan are gonna fight it out versus each other for the two semi-finals spots in Group-A. The Proteas are the table toppers in the group and they are followed by Australia at the second place and the Afghans are at the third place with a Net Run Rate (NRR) of 0.160.</p>
<h3><strong>Afghanistan's victory changed the equation of the Champions Trophy Semi-Final</strong></h3>
<p>The Proteas and the Kangaroos are in the top two positions of Group-B of the eight-team tournament with three points each to their name. The Afghans play Australia next on Friday, 28th of February at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Their win over the Three Lions has left all three teams in Group-B in a tight spot as they are all set to play do-or-die matches in the upcoming fixtures. </p>
<h2><strong>Afghanistan's semi-finals qualification scenario</strong></h2>
<p>Afghanistan will have to beat Australia to make it to the semi-finals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the first time ever in their Cricketing history. On the other hand, Australia will also qualify directly with a win over Afghanistan and South Africa will also be guaranteed qualification in the knockout phase. </p>
<p>However, if Australia lose their last game versus the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side, then they will have to depend on the result of South Africa's last match against England on March 1. On the other hand, if South Africa also loses against England, they will have to ensure that they have a better net run rate than the 2023 ODI World Cup winners to advance to the semi-finals. South Africa's net run rate is currently +2.140, while the net run rate of the Steven Smith-led team is +0.475.</p>
<h2><strong>India-New Zealand in the top 2 of the Group-A standings</strong></h2>
<p>Teams of India and New Zealand are in the top half of the table of Group-A of ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The match between the two teams is to be played on March 2, which will decide whether Team India will be at the top or second place in its Group-A. The top team of Group-A will face the second-placed team of Group-B in the semi-finals, while the second-placed team of Group-A will face the top-placed team of Group-B.</p>

<p>On Friday, February 28th, Two-time winners Australia will meet tournament debutants Afghanistan in the tenth match of the ICC Men's Champions Trophy 2025. The famous Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host this high-intensity match between the two sides. This upcoming match is a must-win for both sides, as they hope to defeat each other and advance to the semi-finals.</p>
<p>In the last ICC Cricket match between the two sides in the 2024 T20 World Cup, the Afghans won by a margin of 21 runs over the Mighty Aussies, captained by All-Rounder Mitchell Marsh. The current ODI Cricket World Cup champions will attempt to avenge their humiliation against the extremely confident Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side on Friday and secure a semi-final spot. The Kangaroos began their campaign in the eight-team competition with a record-breaking five-wicket victory over Ashes rivals England in Lahore on February 22nd, but their second match against South Africa in Rawalpindi was rained out on Tuesday, February 25th.</p>
<p>The Spirited Afghanistan Cricket Team, on the other hand, will go into this crucial match having defeated England in an incredible match by eight runs in their second Group-B match on Wednesday, February 26 at the Gaddafi Stadium. The tournament newcomers will be hoping that Ibrahim Zadran and Azmatullah Omarzai maintain the incredible momentum from their strong performance versus the Jos Buttler-led side in the forthcoming important game against the Australians.</p>
<p>The 23-year-old Zadran played a record-breaking inning of 177 runs in the previous game, the highest by any player in the history of the competition while Omarzai registered a five-wicket-haul which helped their team secure an unforgettable win versus the Three Lions. </p>
<p>The Afghans are really confident ahead of this tough fixture and they won't wanna commit the mistake of taking the Australians lightly as we all know how Mighty the Australians are. Ahead of this highly intensive clash, let's take a look at the weather report and the pitch report of the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore.</p>
<h2><strong>Afghanistan versus Australia Champions Trophy 2025: Weather Forecast of Lahore</strong></h2>
<p>The weather forecast for Lahore is not looking ideal for a Cricket match. The city is anticipated to experience cloudy skies with light showers during the afternoon &amp; early evening periods on the 28th of February</p>
<p>The probability of rain intervening with the match remains high in the early hours, which could lead to a delay in the toss and even a delayed start to the contest. The temperatures are expected to be chilly and shall hover around the 14-16 degrees Celsius region. </p>
<h2><strong>Afghanistan versus Australia Champions Trophy 2025: Pitch Report of the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore</strong></h2>
<p>The pitch of the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has a tendency to provide a lot of support to the batters, especially in the first half of the match. The slow bowlers might get some help in the second inning but the seamers will have a huge say with the new ball, considering the overcast conditions during the match hours. </p>
<p>The average first inning score at this ground has been 293 runs, so the toss-winning captain should opt to bat first and post a gigantic total on the board, which will be really hard for the opposition to chase down.</p>

<p><strong>2025 ICC Champions Trophy :</strong> The Champions Trophy 2025 Group-B match between Afghanistan and Australia got washed out due to rain at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. As a result, the Aussies have secured their qualification for the semi-finals of the Champions Trophy. South Africa have also benefitted from this match getting washed out, as their place in the knockout phase of the tournament has also been guaranteed. </p>
<p>In this encounter, the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side scored 273 runs while batting first and the Aussies needed to score 274 runs to win this match. But, due to the rain interruption, they weren't able to chase down the total and when the rain arrived, the Aussies had scored 109 runs at the loss of one wicket in 12.5 overs. Opening batter Travis Head played a flamboyant knock of 59 runs and skipper Steven Smith scored 19 runs. </p>
<h2><strong>Australia through to the semi-finals, Afghanistan in trouble</strong></h2>
<p>Afghanistan have suffered the most due to this match getting called off due to rain. Both teams shared one point a piece and this meant that the Hashmatullah Shahidi-led side ended the group phase with three points to their name while Australia, on the other hand, got four points to their name and this ensured their qualification for the knockout phase. </p>
<h2><strong>Can Afghanistan still qualify for the Semi Finals?</strong></h2>
<p>The Afghan Atalans are still not eliminated from the tournament. If England manage to defeat South Africa in the final Group-B fixture, then the tournament debutants will go through to the semis. However, there's a huge difference in the net run-rate (NRR) between Afghanistan &amp; South Africa, so the Proteas would just have to secure a win or if they get defeated, then they will have to avoid getting defeated by a big margin. </p>

The 5th T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan is on March 26 at Sky Stadium, Wellington. New Zealand leads 3-1 after a dominant win in the 4th match, powered by Bracewell’s quickfire 46* and Duffy’s 4-wicket haul. The pitch favors batting first, with pacers getting more help.

NZ vs PAK: The fifth T20I between New Zealand and Pakistan will be played on 26 March at Wellington’s Sky Stadium, which has hosted 22 T20Is—10 won batting first, 12 chasing. The average first-innings score is 153, but high totals like NZ’s 219/6 and successful chases like Australia’s 216 show it can be a batting-friendly ground. Key performers here include Martin Guptill (453 runs) and Ish Sodhi (17 wickets). With chasing slightly favored and spinners often influential, the match could hinge on whether Pakistan’s batters or New Zealand’s home advantage proves decisive.
