Preview

A damaged (AFG vs ENG) in the pivotal Group B match on February 26, 2025, at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. Australia and South Africa have already earned two points from their first victories, so a defeat in this thrilling encounter will seriously hurt both teams’ chances of making it to the semi-finals of the major tournament.

In their opening match against Australia, England was unable to defend a total of more than 350, suggesting that the days of Jos Buttler and his team dominating the white ball are long gone. Even while the Three Lions may feel some relief from their high score, the fact remains that they lost to a team that is lacking their best pacers, including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. After then, the English bowlers were unable to stop the Australian batting lineup. Therefore, the former champions will have to demonstrate their significant progress against Afghanistan on two fronts.

However, the Afghan side has its own issues to deal with. In their opening match, South Africa will thrash the team by 107 runs. The team has advanced to the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinals, but significant consistency in tactics and performances is required in the ODI format. Even in their most vulnerable state, the team must figure out how to use its quality to make a serious challenge against England.

Afghanistan’s stunning victory over the Three Lions in the 2023 ODI World Cup at Delhi’s Arun Jaiyeley Cricket Stadium is noteworthy. As a result, Jos Buttler and company will be thinking about getting even.
