    Champions Trophy: Australia Enter Semis After Clash With Afghanistan Abandoned Due To Rain

    By IANS News February 28, 2025 • 22:00 PM View: 805
    Reigning World Champion Australia: Reigning World Champion Australia are through to the semifinals of the 2025 Champions Trophy after their Group B clash against Afghanistan was abandoned due to rain at the Gaddafi Stadium here on Friday. With this, Australia are through to the last-four stage, while Afghanistan are on the brink of elimination from the competition.

    Afghanistan, though, will need a mathematical favour from England, who need to win by a margin of over 207 runs and for South Africa's net run rate to slip below theirs to enter the semifinals. It's also the sixth game a game featuring Australia has been abandoned in the Champions Trophy.

    The rain stopped play when Australia were at 109/1 in 12.5 overs in their run chase of 274. Travis Head was leading the chase through a quickfire 59 not out off 40 deliveries, with Steve Smith alongside him unbeaten on 19.
