Cricket Calamity: Nabi's Run-Out Costs Afghanistan
In the ICC Men's Champions Trophy, a pivotal moment occurred during the match between Australia and Afghanistan. Mohammad Nabi was run out by Spencer Johnson, handing Australia a crucial wicket.

England's Champions Trophy Dreams Dashed
England's Champions Trophy campaign has come to a crashing halt after a shocking defeat to Afghanistan. After losing to Australia, the English team blamed external conditions, but Afghanistan proved to be a formidable opponent. Ibrahim Zadran's impressive 177 runs led Afghanistan to a total of 325-7, which England ultimately failed to chase down. The final score? Afghanistan (325-7) beat England (317) by eight runs in a nail-biting finish. 
This loss has raised serious questions about the future of captain Jos Buttler. Facing his third consecutive group exit, Buttler is now considering his role as captain. "Jos Buttler will consider his future as England’s white-ball captain after the agonising eight-run defeat by Afghanistan," reports a leading sports outlet.
England will face South Africa in their final group game, but their chances of reaching the semi-finals are already over. This defeat marks a significant setback for the team and raises concerns about the leadership and direction of English cricket.
