The 14th match of the ongoing eighth edition of ICC T20 World Cup will be played between England and Afghanistan at the Perth Stadium tonight. The seventh consecutive double-header day of this World Cup will be the first Super 12 day featuring a couple of fascinating matches.
Having hosted a T20I less than a couple of weeks ago, Perth will be hosting its second international match this month. England, who had been part of the latest match here, should be banking upon their experience of playing here both as a team and with respect to individual players.
While England had won their solitary T20I at this venue, Afghanistan will be playing their first-ever T20I in Australia on Saturday. All in losing causes, Afghanistan’s three ODIs in Australia had come during ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.
