da bwin: ESPNcricinfo staff15-Oct-2023

Afghanistan outplayed England in all disciplines on the day. Rahmanullah Gurbaz unleashed a fearless display of power-hitting that asserted their dominance from the beginning – he made 80 off 57. Ikram Alikhil, on his World Cup debut, drove them ahead with 58 off 66 as Afghanistan posted a competitive 285.

In return, England’s batting never really took off, as they struggled against Afghanistan’s seamers and spinners, surrendering for 215 in the 41st over. Afghanistan’s spinners accounted for seven wickets, with Mujeeb picking up the crucial wickets of Harry Brook – who was England’s top-scorer of the day – and the in-form Joe Root.
