Afghanistan beats England by 69 runs to give of the first upset of World Cup 2023.

In a stunning turn of events during the ICC Cricket World 2023, Afghanistan pulled off a major upset by defeating England by a margin of 69 runs. The match began with England winning the toss and choosing to field, allowing Afghanistan to bat first. Despite an impressive initial performance by Rahmanullah Gurbaz, who scored 80 runs, Afghanistan faced difficulties in the middle overs, ultimately managing to reach a total of 284 runs.

England’s pursuit of this target got off to a rocky start, and they struggled to break free from the tight grip of the Afghan spinners, who consistently took crucial wickets. The lone fighter for England was Harry Brook, who managed to contribute 66 runs to the team’s score. The Afghan bowling attack, led by Mujeeb ur Rahman (3/51) and Rashid Khan (3/37), proved to be the standout performers in this remarkable victory.
