One of the groundsmen at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore hilariously slipped while trying to mop the pitch to ready the same for the resumption of the crucial Champions Trophy 2025 clash between Afghanistan and Australia on Friday. A video of the same surfaced on the social media platform of X.

With Afghanistan amassing a competitive total of 273, thanks to half-centuries from Azmatullah Omarzai and Sediqullah Atal, Australia got off to a flyer in their pursuit. Afghanistan also dropped two catches, especially of Travis Head, who got to 59 off 40 deliveries. By the time rain interrupted the proceedings, Australia were well on top with 109 in 12.5 overs. With the ground facilities in Lahore proving insufficient to resume the game, it had to be abandoned.

Meanwhile, below is the video of the groundstaff falling while mopping the pitch at the Gaddafi Stadium:
