This win also marks Afghanistan’s second-ever victory in ODI World Cups since they first participated in 2015. Their maiden win was recorded against Scotland in Dunedin. The win also ended Afghanistan’s 14 match losing streak including the loss against Bangladesh and India in the 2023 edition.

Meanwhile this could possibly also register England’s biggest upset in World Cup History. Another upset was recorded in the 2011 ODI World Cup against Ireland when they were successful in chasing the difficult target of 328 runs.

After yesterday’s match outcome, England stands at the fifth place, followed by Afghanistan at sixth position.
