Afghanistan pull off stunning 69-run win vs England
Afghanistan caused one of the biggest upsets in the history of World Cup as they outclassed defending champions England by 69 runs in New Delhi on Sunday
Rahmanullah Gurbaz gave early impetus while Ikram Alikhil provided the final flourish to guide Afghanistan to a competitive 284 all out after being put into bat. The Afghan bowlers then thrived under lights, dishing out a collective effort to bundle out England for 215 runs in 40.3 overs and register just their second World Cup win, eight years since their last against Scotland in Australia.
