A bizarre yet hilarious moment unfolded during the Afghanistan vs Australia Champions Trophy 2025 match at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Friday. As the ground staff rushed to dry the pitch during a rain break, one of the groundsmen hilariously slipped while mopping the surface. The moment was caught on camera, and the video quickly went viral on social media platform.

Fans and viewers could not help but share in the laughter, as the comedic slip provided a light-hearted distraction despite the ongoing rain. It was a reminder that sometimes the unexpected moments on the field can be just as entertaining as the match itself. Watch the video here: 

Australia In Control Before Rain Halts Play  

Afghanistan posted a competitive total of 273 runs with significant contributions from Azmatullah Omarzai and Sediqullah Atal. However, Australia got off to a flying start in their chase, reaching 109/1 in just 12.5 overs. Opener Travis Head made the most of his dropped chances and made 59 off 40 balls before the rain interrupted the match.  

Despite the best efforts of the ground staff, the rain left the field unplayable, forcing the match to be abandoned. The washout proved to be a decisive blow for Afghanistan’s semi-final hopes. Australia had three points from a win against England and a washout against South Africa. 

With Australia already qualified, South Africa remains in a prime position to join them. The Proteas will face England in their final group match on Saturday (March 1).
