England welcome Afghanistan to Old Trafford today, looking to build on what has been a solid 2019 World Cup so far. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match, starting from 7:30pm (AEST).
The English have won three games from four to begin this World Cup, which is not a bad platform to build from.
In the previous clash they participated in, they defeated the West Indies by eight wickets at The Rose Bowl.
The West Indies batted first, and were bowled out for 212. Jofra Archer and Mark Wood both took three wickets each, and were ultimately the key reason why the English had such a little total to chase.
England’s batting order was shuffled, as Jason Roy and Eoin Morgan both suffered injuries within the game.
What was impressive was just how versatile England were despite being faced with adversity. Joe Root opened and compiled an unbeaten 100 runs from 94 deliveries.
It was his second century of the tournament, which highlights the type of form he is currently in.
That innings itself ultimately won England the game and put them in a good position heading into the clash against Afghanistan.
It is yet to be confirmed if Roy and Morgan will miss the clash, however that could have changed by the time you are reading this.
As for Afghanistan, they are yet to win a game in this particular World Cup. They were humiliated in their previous clash, as they were bowled out for 125 against South Africa in Cardiff.
Rashid Khan was the shining light with the bat, as he finished with 35 runs from 25 balls. South Africa chased the total only losing the one wicket, which resulted in Afghanistan losing the game by nine wickets.
No one expected much from Afghanistan in this tournament, however, they will be disappointed with how it has gone.
Prediction
England will win this comfortably. So far, they have shown the cricketing world why they are one of the tournament favourites, and that will continue against Afghanistan.
England to prevail.
