England and Afghanistan will lock horns in the shortest format after more than six and a half years in the 14th match of the ongoing eighth edition of the ICC T20 World Cup in Perth tomorrow.
Going to be only the fifth international match between these two teams, it will also be the first Group 1 Super 12 match of the tournament. Although England appear to be the favourites on paper, one thing which the recently concluded First Round of the tournament has taught us is to not take any team lightly. Afghanistan? Certainly not.
Hence, fans across the globs should brace themselves for a riveting contest between the English batters and Afghan bowlers (read spinners, in particular).
