Analysis:
England enters this tournament after some incredible results in previous editions. They reached the semifinal & final in the previous two T20 World Cups. Thus, they would want to finally win the trophy this time around. Jos Buttler’s side has some incredible players but recently Reece Topley’s injury will be a massive blow to the Three Lions.
Whereas, Afghanistan has some big match players and had some performances in the Asia Cup as well. The Afghans depend a lot on their star player Rashid Khan. Mohammad Nabi’s team also has some other quality spinners which have been their strength over the last few years. Whereas their batting, a lot will depend on the likes of Hazaratullah Zazai and Najibullah Zadran.
