Champions Trophy: Zadran Smashes Record 177 As Afghanistan Post Highest Total In ICC Events
ODI World Cup: Ibrahim Zadran etched his name into Afghanistan’s cricketing history with a monumental 177 off 146 balls, propelling his team to their highest-ever total in an ICC 50-over event. His knock, laced with 12 fours and six maximums, helped Afghanistan post 325/7 against England in their crucial Champions Trophy 2025 clash at the Gaddafi Stadium here on Wednesday.
By hammering the England bowling attack, Zadran became the first Afghanistan batter to score a century in the Champions Trophy and set a new record for the highest individual score in the tournament’s history with 177 runs, surpassing Ben Duckett’s 165 in England's opening match of the Champions Trophy against Australia in Lahore from the same edition.
Zadran’s innings was a masterclass in pacing an ODI knock. After Afghanistan were rattled early and reduced to 37/3, he steadied the innings alongside skipper Hashmatullah Shahidi in a crucial 103-run stand.
