AFG vs ENG Dream11 Prediction, Match 8, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Injury Updates & Pitch Report for Champions Trophy 2025

AFG vs ENG In the pivotal Group B match against dangerous Afghanistan at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on February 26, 2025, a damaged England team will try to maintain their hopes of winning the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Given that South Africa and Australia have already earned two points from their victories in their initial games, a defeat in this thrilling match will seriously hurt both teams’ chances of qualifying for the semi-finals of the major tournament.

After failing to defend a score of over 350 against Australia in their opening match, it appears that Jos Buttler and his team’s days of dominating the white ball are far gone. The Three Lions may find solace in their high score, but the truth is that they lost to a team without their best pacers, including Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. The Australian batting unit was then unable to be stopped by the England bowlers. In order to defeat Afghanistan, the former champions will need to demonstrate their significant progress on both fronts.

However, there are issues facing the Afghan side as well. South Africa will thrash the team by 107 runs in their opening encounter. Although the team has advanced to the 2024 T20 World Cup semifinals, their performances and tactics need to be far more consistent in the ODI format. The team possesses the necessary talent, but they must figure out how to use it to threaten England even when they are at their weakest.

It’s important to note that during the 2023 ODI World Cup in Delhi’s Arun Jaiyeley Cricket Stadium, Afghanistan shocked the Three Lions. Jos Buttler and company will therefore be thinking about getting even.
