Preview:

England will take on Afghanistan in the Group 1 contest of the T20 World Cup 2022 on Saturday. England has been dealt with injury as their lead pacer Reece Topley has been ruled out of the tournament with an ankle injury. Three Lions are heading into this marquee event on the back of a successive bilateral series win over Pakistan and Australia. Jos Buttler will be leading the troops for the first time in the global event and expecting a better show from the lads. Alex Hales has locked his spot as a first-choice opener ahead of Phil Salt. Southpaw Dawid Malan will bat at No.3. Jos Buttler is keen on playing Ben Stokes at No.4 whereas it’s a big selection headache whether go with an extra all-rounder or a pure batter in the middle order. Mark Wood and Adil Rashid have already cemented their spots as genuine bowlers.

Afghanistan on other hand are aiming to upset England in the initial stages of the tournament. They started the Asia Cup on a winning note handing Sri Lanka 8 wickets loss and later suffered a hat-trick of losses in the super 4 stages to get knocked out of the tournament. Rahmanullah Gurbaz who was hit on the toe in the warm-up game against Pakistan has declared fit to play against England. They have lost both their matches against England in T20 World Cups and look to turn the table this time around. Ibrahim Zadran and Mujeeb ur Rahman have done exceedingly well in the Asia Cup and are bankable players for their side with bat and ball respectively.
