England were thrashed by Afghanistan as they failed to counter the opposition’s spin threat on a balanced Delhi surface which had something for everyone in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. Chasing 285 against the troika of Rashid Khan, Mujeeb ur Rahman and Mohammad Nabi proved to be much more difficult than India made it look a few days ago as England were skittled out for 215. England now are the only team to lose to all other 11 Test-playing nations in World Cup history. All that and more in today’s Sports Wrap.
