Afghanistan vs England pitch report:
The Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore is a batting paradise with its flat pitch and small boundary sizes. Here, Australia chased down the target of 352 runs against England with 15 balls left in the innings. There is some swing in the evening for new ball bowlers.
Afghanistan vs England Dream11 Captaincy Prediction:
England’s Joe Root is a great Dream11 captaincy option for this match. Against Australia, he scored 68 off 78 balls and was doing the perfect anchor’s role until he was dismissed.
Root has been in good touch recently, managing two fifties in his last three innings. On a flat pitch in Lahore, he could bat all the way through the innings to anchor it and plunder a much-needed ODI ton. In his 2019 encounter against Afghanistan in Manchester, he scored 88 off 82 balls.
