Australia, led by Steve Smith, will face Afghanistan in a must-win encounter in the 10th match of the 2025 Champions Trophy, set to take place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday.
The newly renovated stadium is all set to host this crucial match. The winner of the clash will secure a spot in the semi-finals, joining India and New Zealand, who have already advanced.
In a tense scenario, if rain interrupts the match, Afghanistan will be eliminated from the tournament.
It’s worth noting that Afghanistan recently pulled off an incredible win in a thrilling contest. Afghan opener Ibrahim Zadran not only scored the highest individual score in Champions Trophy history but also set a new record for Afghanistan’s highest score in the tournament.
