The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 match between Australia and Afghanistan was dramatically paused due to rain, just as Australia was gaining momentum in their chase of a target of 273 runs.


The match, taking place at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium, holds significant weight for both teams as they battle for a coveted spot in the semi-finals.

Australia had reached 109/1 in just the 13th over before rain interrupted play. Travis Head was in stellar form, having scored an unbeaten 59 off 40 balls, supported by Steve Smith with 19 runs to his name. The early loss of Matt Short, who edged to Gulbadin Naib off Azmatullah Omarzai for 20, did not seem to deter the Australians.

Earlier in the match, Afghanistan set a challenging target of 273 runs, thanks to a remarkable 85-run innings by Sediqullah Atal. Despite an early setback, with Rahmanullah Gurbaz dismissed in the first over, Afghanistan’s batting lineup showed resilience. Spencer Johnson was the standout bowler for Australia, securing key wickets and keeping the pressure on Afghanistan.

Key Performances:

  • Travis Head: Leading Australia’s charge with an aggressive 59* off 40 balls.
  • Sediqullah Atal: Top-scored for Afghanistan with a composed 85 runs.
  • Spencer Johnson: Made significant breakthroughs with early and middle-order wickets.

This match is pivotal as both teams are in a tight race for the semi-finals. Afghanistan’s victory over England has already added a thrilling twist to Group B, which now sees a three-way competition for the top spots.

Fans are eagerly awaiting the resumption of play, hoping the weather clears to see if Australia can continue their dominant performance or if Afghanistan can mount a comeback to secure their semi-final berth.

Stay tuned for more updates as we watch the drama unfold in Lahore!
