On the same day of the match, an earthquake with a magnitude of 6.3 struck, resulting in the loss of two lives in western Afghanistan. This region has been experiencing a series of continuous tremors, leading to a tragic death toll of at least 1,000 people over the past week.

Mujeeb Ur Rahman received the Player of the Match award for his outstanding all-round performance against England and dedicated the award to the earthquake victims.

"This is for the people back home who have been affected by the earthquake. As players and as a team, I wanted to dedicate my award to them," he stated during the post-match presentation on Sunday.

In their next match of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023, Afghanistan will face New Zealand at Chepauk, Chennai, on Wednesday, October 18 (Wednesday).
