Ajmatullah Umarjai
Azmatullah omarzai eng vs afg: England may be considered a stronghold of cricket, but this team has never won the Champions Trophy. This time too, a team like Afghanistan has won and ended the journey of England in this tournament. It is another matter that England will play their last league match against South Africa on March 1, but now this match is not particularly important for England. Meanwhile, the situation that an Afghanistan bowler did the British batsmen never happened in the history of the Champions Trophy.
Ajmatullah Umarjai took five wickets
In the 8 runs that Afghanistan won over England, the big role was definitely the opener Ibrahim Jadaran, who played a stormy innings of 177 runs, but what Ajmatullah Umarjai did, it cannot be judged at all. In this big match played in Lahore, Ajmatullah Umarjai worked to send five England batsmen to the pavilion for 58 runs. That is, he was also a big hero of this victory.
Afghanistan’s first bowler to take 5 wickets in ICC ODI tournament
In the ICC ODI tournament, no Afghanistan bowler was able to take five wickets in the same innings so far, but now Ajmatullah Umarzai has done a new story. When it comes to the ICC ODI tournament, it means the Champions Trophy and ODI Cup. Afghanistan’s team is participating in the Champions Trophy for the first time, but for the last few years, the team has been playing the ODI Cup continuously, in which no Afga Ni bowler had taken five wickets.
A bowler for the first time in the Champions Trophy against England
Meanwhile, if we talk about the plight of England, this team is still playing continuously with the Champions Trophy, but the bowler of any team in the world did not take five wickets in the innings in this tournament against England, but now it has become an old thing. The first team to do so has become Afghanistan and this work has been done by Ajmatullah Umarjai. The England team has not won the ICC Champions Trophy title once a single time. In the year 2004 and 2013, the team reached the finals, but stayed away from the trophy. The team is also out of the semi -final race. That is, England will have to wait a few more years to win the Champions Trophy for the first time.
