In a rain-affected match at Lahore's Gaddafi Stadium on February 28, 2025, Australia advanced to the ICC Champions Trophy semi-finals after their game against Afghanistan was abandoned due to a wet outfield. Afghanistan, batting first, posted a total of 273 runs, with notable contributions from Sediqullah Atal (85 runs) and Azmatullah Omarzai (67 runs).

In response, Australia reached 109/1 in 12.5 overs, with Travis Head scoring a brisk 59 off 40 balls, before heavy rain halted play. The match was eventually called off, resulting in both teams sharing points. This outcome secured Australia's spot in the semi-finals with four points, while Afghanistan's progression depended on the result of the England vs. South Africa match.
