Cricket: 130,000 fans watched as India claimed victory as the Pakistan batting collapsed at the Cricket World Cup.
Afghanistan pulled off one of the greatest World Cup shocks on Sunday when they defeated defending champions England by 69 runs in New Delhi.
They came into Sunday’s clash having lost their opening two games in India and on a 14-match losing World Cup streak. Mohammad Nabi got rid of Dawid Malan, who made 140 against Bangladesh, for 32 to precipitate a slide which saw England slump to 138-6. Mujeeb sent back Chris Woakes before effectively sealing the game in his next over, having Brook caught behind by Alikhil with England at 169-8.Late fireworks from Adil Rashid , Reece Topley and Mark Wood only served to take England past the 200-mark.Earlier, Gurbaz, 21, piled up his runs off 57 balls with eight fours and four sixes to register his eighth score in excess of fifty in his ODI career.
Once Gurbaz was dismissed, England’s spinners dragged the champions back into the contest in the middle overs. Mujeeb added 28 to the total off 16 balls as Afghanistan finished strongly. England’s seamers endured a day to forget with Sam Curran conceding 46 runs off four overs and new ball bowler Chris Woakes coughing up 41 off his four.England went into Sunday’s game after a loss to New Zealand and victory over Bangladesh while Afghanistan suffered heavy defeats by six wickets to Bangladesh and eight wickets to India.
