ENG Vs AFG: The ODI World Cup 2023 has seen the dominance of the batters till now.
The batsmen have been on the centre stage of this tournament and the bowlers have struggled to make a men’s mark on the batting-friendly surfaces of India.
That is why only one bowler, Mitchell Santner has picked a five-wicket haul.
But yesterday i.e. 15th October 2023, we came across to the greatest upset in this ODI World Cup 2023.
The defending champions of this year’s ICC mega event of the one-day international format, England has lost to an associate nation team of Afghanistan in the 13th game of this ODI tournament.
England won the toss and opted to bowl first in Delhi. But Afghanistan started the match proceedings quite well and they managed to score their second-highest score in the one-day international format.
The Afghan batsmen scored 284 runs and they were all out in 49.5 overs.
However, the star batting lineup of the defending champions, England couldn’t chase this total down. The bowlers of this Afghanistan side bowled really well to bundle out the batting powerhouse side of England for just 215 runs in 40.3 overs and the Afghans won their first game of this ODI World Cup 2023 by a margin of 69 runs.
