AFG vs ENG: Pitch Report
It's an excellent surface for the batting team at Gaddafi Stadium. A few of nights ago, England and Australia played a high-scoring contest at this location. With the exception of the new ball, the bowlers won't have much assistance. Clearing the boundary will be simpler as the ball ages, but defending a total can be difficult, as demonstrated in previous games, primarily due to the dew.

AFG vs ENG: Finebook247 Prediction – Who Will Win?
Afghanistan will be slightly weaker there since the bowlers have little support from the surface. The squad with explosive batting can have an advantage because it's a great batting pitch. We are betting on England to win this game in part because of that.
