ENG vs AFG Dream 11 fantasy tips

England take on Afghanistan at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on October 15 at the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023: here is the ENG vs AFG Dream11 fantasy preview, including tips and predictions for CWC Match 13.

CWC 2023: England vs Afghanistan match preview

England head into the encounter coming on the back of a resounding victory against Bangladesh. The Delhi surface has been flat as a highway and has already seen two high-scoring games, the kind that will suit England’s approach.

Ben Stokes is looking good in training according to Joe Root and might slot back in the XI if he is 100 per cent fit in place of Harry Brook. They might look to rotate their fast bowlers as well, giving Mark Wood and Chris Woakes a rest and bringing in Gus Atkinson and David Willey in their places respectively.

Afghanistan have suffered two one-sided defeats in their first two games of the World Cup. They need to regroup and regroup quickly. Their batting showed promise against India with Azmatullah Omarzai and Hashmatullah Shahidi stepping up in the middle order. They would want more of the same, albeit with a higher intensity. Their spin trio has been largely toothless so far and needs to come to the party soon as well if Afghanistan are to keep themselves alive in the competition.

ENG vs AFG Dream 11 fantasy tips

Ben Stokes has shown good signs and might be back in the XI for England

# The two World Cup games that have been played here have been high-scoring encounters. With the surface not expected to be much different, you can afford to pack your fantasy team with explosive batters, particularly those in the top order.

# Ben Stokes has a terrible record against Rashid Khan. Even if Stokes plays, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to not pick him, given he won’t be contributing with the ball.

# If Gus Atkinson plays in place of Mark Wood, picking him would be a good idea. His raw pace has the potential to rattle the Afghan batting, particularly their middle order. Same goes for Wood if he plays.

# Joe Root has scored two half-centuries from two games at the World Cup so far. He is in superb form and given the flat nature of the Delhi surface, he is a must-have in your team.
