Once ODI masters, England face uncertainty
Hindustan Times Pune
|February 28, 2025
The eight-run victory that knocked England out of the Champions Trophy on Wednesday wasn't the first time Afghanistan had punched above their weight on the big stage.
MUMBAI:
They had accounted for New Zealand and Australia on their way to the 2024 T20 World Cup semi-finals, and in the 2023 World Cup in India, they had prevailed over England and Pakistan. Afghanistan will battle it out against Australia in a must-win game for both teams on Friday. In white-ball cricket, the fortunes of England and Afghanistan are a study in contrast.
While Afghanistan's exploits have helped them gain the giant slayers' tag, England are struggling to put a foot right at the moment. With back-to-back defeats in Group B, first against Australia when they could not defend 352, and then against Afghanistan, England have now lost 12 of 16 ODIs since the 2023 World Cup. It's not just the ICC events, they have also lost their last four bilateral series.
