Champions Trophy: Australia Enter Semis After Clash Against Afghanistan Abandoned Due To Rain (ld)
Champions Trophy: Australia are through to the semi-finals of the 2025 Champions Trophy after their Group B clash against Afghanistan was abandoned due to rain at the Gaddafi Stadium on Friday. With Australia through to the last four stage with four points claimed in their kitty, Afghanistan are on the brink of elimination from the competition after reaching three points.
Afghanistan, though, will need a mathematical favour from England, who need to win by a margin of over 207 runs and cause South Africa's net run rate to slip below theirs’ to enter the semi-finals. A win for South Africa will see them top Group B, and push Australia to second place.
It's also the sixth game featuring Australia has been abandoned in the Champions Trophy. Earlier in the match, with the rain threat looming, Australia bowled out Afghanistan for 273 in exactly 50 overs. Sediqullah Atal overcame an early examination to hit 85, while Azmatullah Omarzai shined with 67 to help Afghanistan post a competitive total on a used pitch.
