Afghan spinners spun a web around England to beat them by 69 runs and register their first-ever ODI World Cup win against a Test-playing nation. Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi and Mujeeb-Ur-Rahman combined to pick eight wickets together as England were bowled out for 215.
It was Rahmanullah Gurbaz’s flying 80 off just 47 balls at the start and then a calculated 58 off 66 balls by Ikram Ali Khil at the end of the innings as the two wicket-keepers helped Afghanistan post x in their 50 overs against defending champions England during an ICC World Cup 2023 match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi on Sunday, October 15. For England, Adil Rashid was the pick of the bowlers as he picked up 3/42 in his 10 overs.
