Two teams have already secured their spots in the semifinals of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. From Group A, Team India and New Zealand have advanced, while hosts Pakistan and Bangladesh have been eliminated.
On February 25, a crucial Group B match between Australia and South Africa in Rawalpindi was washed out due to rain, resulting in both teams earning one point each. With this, both Australia and South Africa now have three points each.

With everything at stake, both Afghanistan and England will give their all to secure victory and are expected to field their strongest playing XI in this do-or-die encounter. This article covers the commentators and umpires for Afghanistan vs England clash.
