Despite falling three wickets one after the other, opener Ibrahim Jadaran held the other end firmly and then along with captain Hashmatullah Shahidi, the team’s score was taken to 100 runs in 25 overs. During this time Ibrahim Jadaran managed to complete his half -century.

After this, both batsmen were also successful in completing the 100 -run partnership in the 29th over. In the next over, captain Shahidi returned to the pavilion after scoring 40 runs but Ibrahim Jadaran remained firmly frozen. Even in the next 7 overs, Jadaran continued amazing performance and created a new history by scoring a banging century against England. Jadaran completed his century from 106 balls and thus he became the batsman to score the first century from Afghanistan in the Champions Trophy. He hit the sixth hundred of ODI career with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes. With this, he became the first Afghan batsman to score a century in the ODI World Cup and Champions Trophy. Shortly after completing the century, the Afghan batsman demolished Ben Docket’s world record by scoring the biggest score in the Champions Trophy. Docket scored 165 runs against Australia in the first match of the Champions Trophy for England. A few days later, Jadran touched the 166 -run figure and took the world record.

India and New Zealand have reached the semi-finals from Group-A, while the journey of hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh has ended in the group stage itself. On the other hand, the semi-final race in Group B has become exciting due to South Africa vs Australia match washed in rain. After the cancellation of this match, the match being played between Afghanistan and New Zealand at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has become a match or die. This is the reason why both teams are pushing for a heel to win this match.
