Posted on 16th Oct 2023 by rohit kumar

England had to suffer a humiliating 69-run defeat at the hands of Afghanistan in the 13th match of the World Cup 2023 on Sunday. The England team led by Jos Buttler became the victim of a major upset and also made an unwanted record in its name.

 

England became the first team in ODI World Cup history to defeat all 11 Test-playing nations in the tournament. England suffered its first defeat in the 1975 World Cup against Australia. After this, England lost to the West Indies in the 1979 World Cup final.

 

When and by whom did England lose?

In 1983 and 1987, England lost to India and Pakistan in Asia. New Zealand also defeated England for the first time in a World Cup match in 1983. In 1992, England suffered a major setback when Zimbabwe taught them a lesson by defeating them. Sri Lanka and South Africa defeated England in the 1996 World Cup.

 

England is becoming embarrassed

England's period of embarrassment continued. In the 2011 World Cup, Bangladesh and Ireland had given England a taste of bitter memories. Now in 2023, Afghanistan defeated England. In this way, the England team registered a shameful record in the World Cup history of facing defeat from all 11 Test-playing countries.

 

'Butler Brigade' victim of reverses

Afghanistan batted first and the entire team was all out for 284 runs in 49.5 overs. In reply, the England team collapsed for 215 runs in 40.3 overs. In this way, Afghanistan won the match by 65 runs.
