The 14th match of World Cup T20 2022 is scheduled to play between England and Afghanistan on Saturday, 22nd October 2022 at Perth Stadium, Perth.

England was led by Eoin Morgan in recent times but he had announced his retirement and now Jos Buttler is the new leader of this team. The batting order of England is world-class. Harry Brook, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, and Alex Hales are the big names of T20 cricket and will be leading the batting department of England. Moeen Ali also had been good in recent times. He was leading the side during the tour of Pakistan where they won the series. He is also a good bowler in the middle overs. Ben Stokes is the big all-rounder in the squad of England. He had played for many T20 franchises and is a specialist middle overs batter.

England is also rich in the bowling department. Chirs Jordan, Adil Rashid, Mark Wood, and Tymal Mills are leading bowlers of England who have the help of Chris Woakes, David Willey, and Sam Curran. The skipper Jos Buttler and Philip Salt are wicketkeeper batters in the squad of England. England is a strong and experienced team and it is now easy for any team to beat them in a T20 game. If just one batter of England scores more than 50 runs, we are sure that they will a total of near about 180 on the board which can consider a par score. The bowlers of England can defend a target of fewer than 150 runs. Yes, they are capable of it and we also had seen this many times. If they bat first in this match, they will put a total of 170 plus runs on the board and if they bowl first, they will restrict Afghanistan to under 160 runs.

Afghanistan had won 14 out of the most recent 24 matches which shows the strength of this team. Afghanistan had beaten Sri Lanka, Ireland, and Bangladesh in recent matches but was beaten by India and Pakistan. Now they are going to face England which is a very strong team. They have to perform extraordinarily to get themselves to a competing position. The batting order of Afghanistan is good and is led by Najibullah Zadran, Darwish Rasooli, Hazratullah Zazai, Ibrahim Zadran, and Usman Ghani while Mohammad Nabi will be leading Afghanistan in this big event of cricket.

Afghanistan has a strong and experienced bowling unit on its side. The best T20 bowlers of T20 cricket like Rashid Khan, Mohammad Nabi, and Mujeeb Ur Rahman are part of Afghanistan and these three players are available for this match. We are sure that these bowlers will be part of the final playing eleven for this match. Azmatullah Omarzai, Fareed Ahmad Malik, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Naveen-Ul-Haq, and Mohammad Saleem Safi are also available in the squad of Afghanistan. Rahmanullah Gurbaz is the only wicketkeeper batter in this team.

England had played just 2 matches against Afghanistan and they had won both matches.

England is overall a strong team as compared to Afghanistan at least on paper. According to our match prediction, England is the favorite team who will win this match. There are many factors that make England a favorite team to win this match. Some of the key factors are mentioned as under:

• England is overall a strong and more experienced team than Afghanistan
• Alex Hales, Harry Brook, and Liam Livingstone are dangerous batters in the squad of England

• Afghanistan had never won a T20 match against England

England is full of experienced and young players in the t20 format. The batting order of this team is also strong and some well-known hitters of the t20 format are part of the squad of this team, so the winning chances of today’s match against England have been increased. The equation of who will win today’s cricket match prediction and who will win the cricket match today is mentioned as under.

England has a 70% chance to win this match
Afghanistan has a 30% chance to win this match

The toss will play an important role in the decision of all matches of World Cup T20. Having a good total on the board is always a big advantage in these kinds of big matches. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss may choose to bat first.

The 14th match of World Cup T20 2022 is going to be held at Perth Stadium, Perth. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 180 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast in Perth is predicting some clouds around on match day but the weather forecast does not predict rain. We should be able to have a full uninterrupted match.
