The stakes couldn’t be higher!
Jos Buttler-led England is gearing up for a do-or-die showdown against Afghanistan in the 8th match of the Champions Trophy 2025 at Lahore’s iconic Gaddafi Stadium.

Reeling from a crushing defeat against Australia, England hit the ground running with an intense training session under floodlights, determined to correct their mistakes. Buttler has vowed his side won’t repeat past errors as they seek redemption in this high-pressure encounter.
Afghanistan, too, finds itself in a precarious position after being dismantled by South Africa. With both teams fighting to stay in the tournament, this contest is nothing short of a knockout battle.
Meanwhile, the Champions Trophy has already claimed its first casualties, with Bangladesh and hosts Pakistan eliminated from Group A. Now, all eyes are on England and Afghanistan as they battle to keep their campaign alive in this must-win clash!
