The Champions Trophy 2025 has gotten off to a surprising start, with a mix-up during the Australia vs England match in Lahore. The Indian national anthem was played by mistake before the start of the game, leaving everyone in attendance stunned. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has sought clarification from the International Cricket Council (ICC) on the incident, asking how such a mistake could have occurred.

The incident took place at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, where the Australia vs England match was being held. As the teams were preparing for their national anthems, the Indian national anthem started playing, causing confusion among the players and spectators. The stadium administration quickly realized the mistake and switched to the Australian national anthem. However, the brief playing of the Indian national anthem was enough to cause a stir on social media, with many users sharing videos and memes about the incident.

The match itself was a thrilling one, with England's Ben Duckett creating history by scoring the highest individual score in the tournament's history. Duckett's 165 runs helped England set a massive total of 351 runs, which Australia was unable to chase down. The incident with the national anthem, however, has overshadowed the match to some extent, with many questioning how such a mistake could have occurred.

The PCB has not issued an official statement on the incident, but it is clear that the board is taking the matter seriously. The ICC has also been asked to investigate the incident and provide an explanation for how the mistake occurred. The Champions Trophy 2025 is being held in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates, with India playing all its matches in Dubai. The tournament is expected to be a closely contested one, with several top teams competing for the title.

Here are the match scores and player statistics from the Australia vs England match:

• Australia: 246/5 (50 overs)
• England: 351/8 (50 overs)
• Ben Duckett: 165 runs (143 balls, 17 fours, 3 sixes)

The incident with the national anthem has added a new layer of complexity to the tournament, with many fans and officials calling for greater attention to detail in the organization of the event. As the tournament progresses, it will be interesting to see how the PCB and ICC respond to the incident and work to prevent such mistakes from occurring in the future.
