England`s cricket team faced early elimination in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 after disappointing losses to South Africa and Afghanistan.

England`s cricket team has faced a tumultuous journey in the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, struggling in Group B alongside formidable opponents Afghanistan, Australia, and South Africa. Their campaign took a hit when they were bowled out for 179 runs against South Africa, who chased down the target with ease, scoring 181/3 in just 29.1 overs, resulting in a seven-wicket defeat for England.

In another nail-biting encounter, England fell short against Afghanistan, losing by a mere eight runs. Afghanistan posted a challenging total of 325/7 in 50 overs, leaving England unable to secure the win. This series of setbacks has led to England`s early exit from the tournament, marking their campaign as disappointing and underwhelming.

The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is co-hosted by Pakistan and the UAE, featuring eight teams competing for glory. The top two teams from each group advance to the semi-finals based on points and net run rate, but England`s inability to secure victories has dashed their hopes of progressing further in the tournament.
