- The past two away T20I series that England won and one was in Australia.
The 2022 T20 World Cup’s Super 12 stage continues on Saturday night with the second match of Group 1 between England and Afghanistan at Perth Stadium. Afghanistan placed fourth in Group 2 in 2021, with England making it to the semifinals. At 19:00 local time, the game begins.
Despite not having their best IT20 cricket season, England appears to be rising just in time. In four of their last five games, they have defeated Pakistan twice and Australia twice.
After winning the first two games of the 2022 Asia Cup, Afghanistan dropped the next three games. They can be unpredictable, so beating England will require one of their best-ever performances.

ENG vs AFG Match Toss Prediction
13 of the 21 domestic T20 matches played at this location have been won by teams batting first. 208 runs were successfully held at bay by England in their most recent T20I game played at this venue. If one team wins the toss, they will be eager to choose to bat first and post a respectable total.
ENG vs AFG Pitch Report
The Perth Stadium’s pitch has excellent bounce and velocity, making it perfect for both quick bowlers and batsmen. While later batsmen can play their strokes freely and score runs with ease, pacers can appreciate the bounce off the pitch in the opening overs.

Afghanistan Team News & Probable Playing XIs
Before the T20 World Cup 2022, no injuries or player departures from Afghanistan occurred. They have a team quite similar to the one we saw in the UAE for the 2021 T20 World Cup, and the bowlers will have more experience in important games than they did last time.

England is the favourite to win this match.
In the T20 World Cup in 2022, we anticipate that England will start out on top, but we also think Afghanistan’s spinners may pose some challenges for them along the way. Although Afghanistan has some talented players, we are supporting England to win.
