England Team News & Playing 11
ENG Team News
England have been hit by injury problems as the World Cup draws nearer, with Eoin Morgan fracturing his finger in training before Mark Wood suffered a foot injury in the match against Australia. Liam Dawson also split the webbing on his finger in that game and seems unlikely any of the injured players will be risked in this match. Jofra Archer and Adil Rashid did not bowl against Australia and so could step in for the latter two against Afghanistan.
ENG Key Players
James Vince justified his World Cup call-up by top-scoring in the defeat to Australia as he hit a patient 64 coming in at number three. He, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow are all capable of explosive innings at the top of the order and are competing for the two opening spots for the first match.
Jos Buttler hammered a half-century last time out, meanwhile, to continue his excellent form – he also scored a rapid century during the series whitewash of Pakistan.
Liam Plunkett took four wickets last time out, meanwhile. He also took four in the ODI win against Ireland and four in three games in the series with Pakistan.
Jofra Archer could bowl in this match, meanwhile, having stolen the headlines for his explosive bowling spells in the series against Pakistan. Chris Woakes is England’s top-ranked bowler, meanwhile – just ahead of Adil Rashid.
ENG Team Form
Defeat to Australia in their first warm-up game was England’s first of the cricketing summer. They started with an ODI win against Ireland and then beat Pakistan 4-0 in their last full series.
Jos Buttler, Jason Roy and Jonny Bairstow all hit match-winning centuries as the batsmen excelled against Pakistan but they fell short against Australia. After Liam Plunkett’s four-wicket haul left them needing 298 to win, England were all out for 285 in the final over.
England Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Jonny Bairstow, James Vince, Joe Root, Eoin Morgan, Jos Buttler, Ben Stokes, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, Tom Curran, Liam Dawson, Liam Plunkett, Adil Rashid, Jofra Archer, Mark Wood
Afghanistan Team News & Playing 11
AFG Team News
Afghanistan’s impressive win against Pakistan was tarnished a little by Mohammad Shahzad’s injury and the wicket-keeper-batsman is unlikely to feature in the final warm-up game as he looks to overcome his hamstring problem.
AFG Key Players
Hazratullah Zazai was at his big-hitting best against Pakistan, setting the tone with 49 from 28 balls at the top of the order. After his headline-grabbing batting in the Afghanistan Premier League and against Ireland, Zazai could be one of the break-out stars of the World Cup.
Hashmatullah Shahidi top-scored with a measured 74 not out, meanwhile, having also hit an unbeaten half-century in the win against Scotland. Rahmat Shah scored a century in that game and then hit 62 in the win against Ireland in their last full ODI too.
With the ball, captain Gulbadin Naib claimed 6-43 in the defeat of Ireland, while Afghanistan also boast one of the game’s leading spin bowlers in Rashid Khan – the top-ranked all-rounder in ODI cricket.
Mohammad Nabi offers experience, while Mujeeb Ur Rahman is at the other end of the scale – the teenage spinner having already been marked as one for the future.
AFG Team Form
Afghanistan ensured they will be taken seriously at this World Cup with a warm-up victory against Pakistan – Hashmatullah Shahidi (74*) leading the chase of 263 to win by three wickets with two balls to spare.
It followed up the win against Ireland that tied their most recent ODI series – Afghanistan bouncing back from being dismissed for 138 in the first game by smashing 305/7 in the second. Mohammad Shahzad top-scored with a century in that innings, before Gulbadin Naib claimed six wickets to a 126-run win.
Afghanistan Predicted Playing 11
Mohammad Shahzad, Hazratullah Zazai, Noor Ali Zadran, Asghar Afghan, Rahmat Shah, Hashmatullah Shahidi, Samiulllah Shinwari, Gulbadin Naib, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Rashid Khan, Dawlat Zadran, Aftab Alam, Hamid Hassan, Mujeeb ur Rahman
