  • After a shock loss against the Black Caps in the opening fixture of the tournament, England has managed to bring their World Cup campaign back on track with a dominating win against Bangladesh.

  • We expect a high-scoring run-scoring match if England bat first.
  • Usually, captains prefer to bat first on this ground, but the toss does not have a major impact on the outcome of the match.

Key Players

England

  • Joe Root: Joe Root rewrote history by breaking Graham Gooch's 31-year-old record as England’s top run scorer in the World Cup. His quickfire 82 off 68 balls against the Bangla Tigers is a testament to his class. Expect him to provide stability to England’s batting lineup with his current form.
  • Jonny Bairstow: Jonny Bairstow will be keen to catch up with his opening partner, Dawid Malan, as the latter scored a brilliant century in their previous game. The healthy competition brewing up amongst the England openers has benefited England’s batting a great deal.
  • Reece Topley: An excellent bowler with the new ball, left-arm quickie Reece Topley is in red-hot form. He will be looking to partner up with Mark Wood and demolish the inexperienced Afghan batting lineup.

Afghanistan

  • Hashmatullah Shahidi: Even though Afghanistan did not have the best of starts in the World Cup, Hashmatullah Shahidi has been leading his team by example. Shahidi is the top run-scorer for Afghanistan in the ongoing tournament. His form will be key for his side to set or chase a competitive total.
  • Rahmanullah Gurbaz: Gurbaz will be eager to redeem himself after he failed to capitalise on positive starts in both of the previous matches so far. The fearless 21-year-old has the talent to score big, but his temperament will be tested against England’s top-quality fast bowling.
  • Rashid Khan: Even though Rashid Khan is not having a great tournament so far, he still has the capabilities to change the course of a game with his bowling variations. He will be a tricky customer for the English batters to deal with.
