ENG vs AFG LIVE Score: England will face off against Afghanistan in match 13 of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on Sunday, October 15 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. The defending champions managed to secure their first win of the tournament by defeating Bangladesh in their last match in Dharamshala. This win was a remarkable turnaround for England after their heavy defeat against Kiwis. Meanwhile, Afghanistan has faced two consecutive losses in the tournament.
England secured their first two points by defeating Bangladesh on Tuesday, and they aim to earn two more points in their upcoming matches. Their top-order put up a solid performance against Bangladesh, despite a shaky start. However, there are concerns regarding the current form of Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone, who are part of the defending champions.
Afghanistan has been facing difficulties in both batting and bowling aspects, suffering losses in matches against Bangladesh and India. It’s worth noting that Afghanistan hasn’t tasted win in the World Cup since their win against Scotland in the 2015 edition. Nevertheless, they are determined to give England a tough challenge rather than offering them an easy victory.
