ENG vs AFGH  Dream11 Prediction | England vs Afghanistan Match Preview | Fantasy Team & Team News

England is back in top form, defeating West Indies by 8 wickets. Mr. Consistant Joe Root proved his value after being bumped up as opener. He scored a century from 94 balls leading England to chase the score of 213 very comfortably. Even though England might have to fiddle with their lineup citing some injuries in their squad, they are confident to win the game on Tuesday.

First, from the bottom, Afghanistan is not looking great in this tournament. They haven’t won a single game and rumours of internal conflict in the team isn’t helping either. On 15th, they faced a grueling defeat versus South Africa, losing by 9 wickets. They went all out for only 125 runs, which South Africa successfully chased in 28.4 overs.

The chances of Afghanistan pulling an upset like Pakistan versus England are very slim Afghanistan’s Hashmatullah Shahidi did insist that if their batsmen are able to score some good runs then they have enough quality to upset England.

ENG vs AFGH Dream11 Fantasy Team

Fantasy Picks from England

Joe Root | Jonny Bairstow | Mark Wood

• Joe Root has been super consistent in this iteration of the World Cup. One of the best batsmen in the world, Root has scored a total of 279 runs from the last 4 matches which includes two centuries. He also bowled in the last game, picking up 2 wickets in 5 overs.
• Alongside Root, Jonny Bairstow was looking confident versus Windies. He opened with Root for the first time and looked comfortable with his new partner, scoring 45 off 46.
• Mark Wood delivered again in the last match. While he wasn’t able to bat, he picked up 3 wickets for an economy of only 2.7 which is extremely economical.

Fantasy Picks from Afghanistan

Rashid Khan | Noor Ali Zadran

• Rashid Khan remains to be seen as a worthy pick in the team. He has not been great in the last couple of matches, only picking up 3 wickets in the last 3 matches. While he was okay with the bat in the last game (35 off 25), he has to step it up with the ball.
• While the rest of the team collapsed very quickly, the highest scorer for Afghanistan in the last match was Noor Ali Zadran, scoring 32 off 58 balls. He is one of the few reliable choices in Afghanistan after observing their inconsistencies among the rest of the platers.
