In a surprising turn of events, England, the defending champions, faced an embarrassing defeat in Delhi, marking their second loss of the tournament. Their pursuit of a challenging 285-run target concluded at 215 in the 40.3 overs. Rashid Khan took the final wicket, dismissing Mark Wood, as Afghanistan celebrated a comprehensive 69-run victory. The spinners played a pivotal role in Afghanistan's remarkable win, with Mujeeb Ur Rahman leading the way with a three-wicket haul, ably supported by his teammates. England's batting performance appeared shaky as they lost wickets at regular intervals, with Harry Brook being the only standout contributor with a 66-run innings. This unexpected result raises significant questions for the English team.
