The World Cup 2023 is turning out to be an event filled with surprises and upsets. One of the latest chapters in this cricketing saga unfolded at the Arun Jaitley Stadium when Afghanistan faced off against England. Afghanistan, who had suffered two consecutive losses, seemed determined to turn their fortunes around in this crucial match.

As the English team took to the field, expectations were high. Known for their aggressive style of play and a formidable batting lineup, England had established themselves as strong contenders in previous World Cup editions. However, cricket often has its own script, and it was authored by none other than Afghanistan's Mohammad Nabi.

In the 27.1 over, Mohammad Nabi delivered a beautifully flighted off-spin delivery to English all-rounder Sam Curran. The ball drifted in, dipped tantalizingly, and lured Sam Curran into a forward push. In doing so, he found the edge of Curran's bat, who was expertly caught by Rahmat Shah at first slip.

This wicket proved to be a turning point in the match, with England struggling at 145 for 6 in 38 overs.
