Top 3 unforgettable moments from Champions Trophy 2025
The 2025 edition of the Champions Trophy was a pure spectacle which was characterised by countless electrifying moments.
2. Afghanistan knock England out in fine style
England crashed out of the tournament following an eight-run loss at the hands of Afghanistan, who never really gave up during the game. The Afghans were in all sorts of trouble after opting to bat first, struggling at 37/3 in the ninth over. However, an unworldly 177-run knock by Ibrahim Zadran and vital 40s from three of Afghanistan's middle-order batters, including skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi, motored Afghanistan to a competitive total of 325 at the end of 50 overs.
However, the job was only half done at that point. The Three Lions could never be ruled out of the contest, considering their star-studded batting line up. Azmatullah Omarzai & Co. provided timely breakthroughs throughout the innings. A valiant ton by Joe Root was bettered by Omarzai's five-wicket haul, as Afghanistan scripted history by keeping their cool till the end to hand England their sixth consecutive ODI defeat; something they had not endured since September 2009.
