New Delhi. South Africa has made it to the semi -finals of the Champions Trophy without winning from England. African bowlers have covered England for 179 runs on Saturday. This Champions Trophy is a low score of 2025. This is the first time in the tournament when a team is dismissed for less than 200 scores. Now the bet is in the hands of South African batters. Now if South African batter does not make a mistake then it will be difficult for England to stop them from winning.
After England’s pile for 179 runs, 2 things of the Champions Trophy 2025 have been decided. First- South Africa’s arrival at the semi-finals. Second- Afghanistan’s exit from the semi-finals. Actually, Afghanistan’s hopes were on England’s victory, that too by a huge margin. If England defeated the African team by 207 runs then Afghanistan would have reached the semi -finals. Now that England could not score 207 runs, how will this difference of victory be. That is, even if England wins this match, South Africa will qualify for the semi -finals.
Africa is not afraid of defeat
South Africa is the second team to reach the semi -finals from Group B. Australia has already made place. The results of South Africa and England matches will now only decide who lives at number one in the group. Before the result, Australia (4) is at first, South Africa (3) second, Afghanistan (3) third and England (0) at number four. The African team’s runrate is 2.140, which is much better than Afghanistan (-0.990). Even if South Africa loses to England, its runrate Afghanistan will be better.
Root scored the most runs
The ICC Champions Trophy took a match between South Africa and England on Saturday. This is the last match of Group B. South Africa allotted England for 179 runs in 38.2 overs in this match played in Karachi. Batter, who had lost both the matches first, was seen losing wickets by playing bad shots in this match. It seemed that the spirit of victory in them was over. For the English team that lost 2 wickets for 20 runs, Joe Root once batted well. He scored 37 runs in 44 balls. No other batter of the team could even touch the number of 30 runs. How disappointing England’s batter’s performance was, it can be gauged from the fact that the team’s second top scorer Jofra Archer. He scored 25 runs. Ben Docket 24, Captain Jose Butler 21, Harry Brook scored 19 runs.
Marco Yansen did Kamatamam
Marco Yansen was at the forefront of doing the success of England’s batter. He dismissed England’s first three batters. Yansen implicated Phil Salt and Jamie Smith on a shortPich ball. Yansen made his third victim Ben Docket. Vian Mulder and Keshav Maharaj also supported Yansen well. Mulder took 3 and Keshav Maharaj took 2 wickets.
