Pitch Report of Arun Jaitley, Stadium In England vs Afghanistan Match On October 15th, 2023

Arun Jaitley Stadium Pitch has been a bit of a mystery, as even in the match between Sri Lanka and South Africa, both teams scored around 700+ runs. That clearly shows it is a batting paradise for the batters and hell for the bowlers, but one of the pitches in the stadium offers a heavy spin. If that pitch is used, then Afghanistan will give India better competition. In the last match between India and Afghanistan, that pitch was quite flat, and there was not much bowling assistance.

Team Preview Of England

England’s side might make a few changes in their next match because it is not going to be a very tough challenge, but there can be no changes as they already lost their first match, and every point is crucial for them.

Stokes can come into the team in place of Harry Brook, who has not had a good time on Indian pitches and kept failing to score. However, England is the only team with eight all-rounders who can do both things with great skill.

Important players for the England Team in the match against Afghanistan

1- Root has been the player for the England team who always comes and performs when needed most, and in India, he does have a great record, which he showed in the World Cup as he scored 159 runs in 2 matches with an average of 79.50. The last time he played against Afghanistan, he scored 88 runs and can score a century in the next match.

2- Dawid Malan was brilliant against Bangladesh, as he scored 140 runs and had a 63.14 average in his last seven matches. He will be one of the key players for England and can be the top scorer for them.

3- Reece Topley can be the pace bowler who can take wickets with his amazing swing bowling and bouncers, which he did in the last match against Bangladesh, where he took four wickets.

Team Preview Afghanistan

Afghanistan needs to do better with the bowling unit as they are going to play against England on the flat surface of Arun Jaitley stadium in which they played against India, who thrashed them quite easily. There might be some changes in the Afghanistan team, as their bowling unit is not as strong as it is on a flat surface.

Important players for the Afghanistan Team in the match against the England Team

1- Rahmanullah Gurabz can be the key batter for Afghanistan as he scored 420 runs in the last ten matches with an average of 42, but he is not a consistent performer.

2- Ibrahim Zadran is one of the most technical batters Afghanistan has ever had and was amazing against India when he hitted three fours against Siraj, who is the World rank 2nd bowler in the ODI.

3- Rashid Khan took two wickets against India and also scored a handy 15+ runs, but he needs to step up as the star performer because he did not perform well in the last two matches.
