Preview

(AFG vs AUS)  in the tenth match of the current ICC Champions Trophy 2025. It will take place on Friday, February 28 at 2:30 PM (IST) at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Both teams must win virtually in order to guarantee their place in the current tournament’s semifinals. Thus, it will be a crucial and must-win game to maintain their tournament ambitions.

With three victories and one defeat in their last five ODIs, along with a game that ended without a result, Afghanistan is in good form. To remain in the tournament, they recently defeated England by a slim margin of 8 runs, a historic victory. By defeating the reigning ODI World Cup champions, Australia, they will advance to the tournament’s semifinals.

However, except from a convincing 5-wicket victory in the most recent Champions Trophy 2025 match, Australia has been unlucky in their last five ODIs. In addition to having a “abandoned” game in their previous five ODIs, they have only won one and lost three. Because of this, they will also attempt to give it their all during the match against Afghanistan.
