T20 World Cup 2022, England vs Afghanistan: Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Tips, Captain and Vice Captain

The
opening
match
of
the
day
will
be
played
between
Australia
and
New
Zealand
at
the
iconic
Sydney
Cricket
Ground.

The
Jos
Buttler-led
English
side
is
ranked
second
in
the
world
while
Mohammad
Nabi’s
Afghanistan
are
ranked
tenth.
But
rankings
and
head-to-heads
get
a
back
seat
in
T20s
where
any
team
can
stun
even
the
best
in
the
world
on
its
day.

If
England
have
some
of
the
biggest
T20
specialists
in
their
ranks,
Afghans
are
popular
the
world
over
for
their
T20
freelancers,
who
are
proving
their
mettle
by
offering
their
services
in
every
major
T20
league.

Just
ahead
of
their
tournament
opener,
the
English
side
suffered
a
massive
jolt
when
their
in-form
pacer
Reece
Topley
rolled
his
ankle
to
be
ruled
out
of
the
marquee
event.
The
team
has
included
left-arm
seamer
Tymal
Mills
in
Topley’s
stead
and
it
will
be
interesting
to
see
if
the
latter
will
be
able
to
fill
that
void.

England’s
batting
arsenal
is
one
of
the
most
potent
going
into
the
tournament
and
every
team
needs
to
vary
their
swashbucklers
such
as
Buttler,
Harry
Brook,
Alex
Hales,
Dawid
Malan,
Phil
Salt,
Ben
Stokes,
and
Liam
Livingstone.
In
Moeen
Ali
and
Stokes,
the
English
have
proven
match-winning
all-rounders.
Sam
Curran,
Chris
Woakes,
and
Chris
Jordan
are
good
all-rounders
on
the
side.

Their
bowling
department
also
looks
rounded
as
they
have
quality
pacers
like
David
Willey,
Chris
Woakes,
Mark
Wood
and
Mills.
Rashid
Khan
will
be
their
key
spinner
and
would
fancy
bowling
on
big
Australian
grounds.

Afghanistan,
on
the
other
hand,
have
star
spinners
in
Rashid
Khan
and
Mujeeb-ur-Rahman.
Their
fast
bowling
department
has
been
on
the
rise
since
2021
and
their
performance
in
the
Asia
Cup
2022
was
impressive.
However,
they
would
be
hoping
to
do
well
for
the
team’s
overall
performance
in
the
continental
event
was
below
average.
