Afghanistan and England were toe-to-toe in 2 ODIs and 2 T20s and all of these matches were won by England. The England team has been clearly dominating over Afghanistan in all the matches
The England team, till to date, has played 159 T20s. Out of these 159 matches, England was victorious in 78 matches while 68 matches were those in which they lost and 2 ended in a tie. Recent performance of England’s team has been exceptional, especially in the T20 format. Even in the T20 world Cup 2021, they played some brilliant cricket and reached the semi-finals.
As England announced the squad, we can see that Alex Hales is back. So, Jos Buttler and Alex Hales will be opening and everyone is aware of the fact that what kind of explosive start they can provide. Jos Buttler has been in an ideal form in every format. Two of the best sloggers of the ball from the England team are Dawid Malan and Liam Livingstone. They have serious strength in their bat and can hit some magnificent shots.
Harry Brook, a youngster is a new entry to the English team. He recently scored a century in the PSL as well. While In pace bowling, they have the likes of Sam Curran, Chris Jordan, Chris Woakes and Dawid Wiley and spin bowling will be handled by Adil Rashid and Moeen Ali.
The rise of Afghanistan in the previous few years has stunned many. Their players are playing brilliant cricket these days. Out of the 105 T02s that Afghanistan has played, they were victorious in 68 matches while they lost 35 and 1 match ended in a tie. Afghanistan team captain is Muhammad Nabi, who is a brilliant all-rounder.
While their sloggers, who are Najibullah Zardan, Rahmanullah Gurbaz and Ibrahim Zardan as well, are playing fabulous cricket these day. Two Afghani players are in the list of top all-rounders. Muhammad Nabi is on 2nd spot and Rashid Khan, a brilliant leg spinner is on 3rd spot who can bat too when needed. Though the pace bowling of Afghanistan team is weak, they can surprise their opponents like they did in the match against Pakistan in the Asia Cup2022.
Naveen ul Haq, Fazal Haq Farooqi and Farid Ahmad Malik are their leading pace bowlers and their extraordinary performance will be needed if they want to defeat their opponents in Australia.
