Player of Match: Ibrahim Zadran

17:50 Local Time, 12:50 GMT, 18:20 IST: Ibrahim Zadran take a bow! He might have played one of the best knocks in Champions Trophy history. The innings was all about him. Afghanistan were in tatters losing three wickets in the powerplay but that didn't deter Zadran from playing his game. He added crucial partnerships with Shahidi, Omarzai and Nabi to take the team total past the 300-mark. It was a measured knock from the opener. He knew when to attack and when to take the back seat; like he was the aggressor in the partnership with Shahidi while he allowed Omarzai to do the attacking in that association. His fitness too was tested but Zadran was up for the challenge, he kept taking the twos and even took four in the 46th over. He finally fell in the last over by which time he had broken several records. Australia chased down 350+ with ease at this venue and England will be hoping to do something similar.
