Afghanistan team downs defending champions England by 69 runs

After posting a total of 285 on the board, which considering how the wicket has played thus far was a par score, Afghanistan were aware that in order to curb England they will have to take wickets at regular intervals. The bowlers were up for the task and took the important scalp of Jonny Bairstow in the second over. The trouble deepened when mainstays Joe Root and Dawid Malan also perished within the first 15 overs. However, the batting annals of England have reflected in the past that they are never down and out. But it wasn't the case to be this time as England kept losing wickets and bundled out at 215. Handing Afghanistan a 69-run victory, their second ever in ODI World Cups.

Naveen ul Haq emulates Jasprit Bumrah

After burying the hatchet with Virat Kohli on live TV, Naveen ul Haq has seemingly emulated Jasprit Bumrah in the match against England. The vantage point arrived in the match in the 18th over, when Naveen ul Haq bowled a peach of a delivery to send the England captain back to the pavilion. It was an in-swinger that angled in and completely deceived Buttler, who could not make contact with the ball. As a result, it destroyed his stumps, leaving England reeling at 91/4.

Fans were quick to note that the delivery was similar to the one that Jasprit Bumrah bowled the other day to get the well-set Mohammad Rizwan out. While the delivery got the fans to compare him to Bumrah, what followed made the fans believe that it is a complete Bumrah package out there in ENG vs AFG. Ul-Haq's celebration matched with the iconic way Bumrah celebrates his wickets.
