ENG vs AFG: Pitch Report
At Arun Jaitley Stadium, out of the 28 ODIs played, teams that batted first have secured 13 victories, while those chasing have bagged 14 wins; one game was inconclusive. The average first-innings score stands at 238, with the spectrum ranging from a highest score of 330 to a lowest score of 99. The recent IND vs AFG match illustrated that while initial batting conditions pose challenges, batsmen can thrive if they persist. Over time, the pitch has slowed down, demanding batsmen to play patiently. However, those who adjust are rewarded later in their innings. Although fast bowlers made an impact in the latest encounter, the stadium's history suggests that spinners remain crucial. As the 2023 ICC Men's Cricket World Cup features day-night matches, dew becomes a pivotal factor. It can aid the ball in skidding, benefiting the batsmen, but at the same time complicating things for bowlers. Taking into account the behaviour of the pitch in the recent game, the captain winning the toss might have a slight inclination towards fielding first, considering the easing batting conditions witnessed in the latter part of the last match here.
ENG vs AFG: Head-To-Head ODI Record
England and Afghanistan have locked horns in ODIs twice, with both encounters taking place in the last two World Cup editions. England emerged victorious in both matches, leaving Afghanistan without a win against them in the 50-over format.
