A stunning victory for Afghanistan.
Afghanistan dominated the game against England in Delhi England’s chances of retaining the Cricket World Cup are looking very slim indeed after a shock defeat by 69 runs to Afghanistan in Delhi on Sunday. Jos Buttler’s side have now lost two of the three games they have played in the group stage, and while their hopes of reaching the semi-finals are not over, there is a huge amount of work to do from here on in.
Mujeeb Ur Rahman was also crucial as he thumped 28 off just 16 balls before Root caught him off Mark Wood’s bowling. Afghanistan were eventually bowled out for 284 after 49.5 overs, so an excellent effort and a tricky-looking target for the Englishmen in conditions and against bowling that they would not consider their favourites. England’s response started badly, with Jonny Bairstow given out lbw for just two, although he was left fuming with the decision.
