ENG vs AFG Dream11 Team Prediction and Suggestions for Saturday’s ICC T20 World Cup 2022 match between Afghanistan and England: The wait for the Super 12 phase of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is finally over. On the opening day of the tournament, ODI World Champions England will kick-start their campaign against Afghanistan. The two sides will head to the Optus stadium in Perth, eyeing a win to get a head start.
England is undoubtedly one of the favourites to win the tournament, and their recent T20I series triumphs against Pakistan and Australia second their case. Batting is their strong suit with in-form batsmen like Alex Hales, Dawid Malan, and Harry Brook rearing to prove their mettle on the biggest stage. Skipper Jos Buttler will look to lead from the front and improve on the side’s semi-final finish in the previous World Cup.
Mohammad Nabi’s Afghanistan are no longer the underdogs as they have taken significant strides in world cricket, especially in the shortest format of the game. The Afghan players have been part of top-notch franchises around the globe and the exposure has made them synonymous with different conditions.
Star batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz has been deemed fit to play and will be looking to provide solid starts at the top with Hazratullah Zazai. Though the Australian pitches won’t offer much for spinners, Rashid Khan will still prove to be the Afghan trump card. With his vast experience, Rashid will look to bamboozle batters in the mega event.
