In the 13th match of the ODI World Cup, England (ENG) will play Afghanistan (AFG) at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on October 15. England has done pretty well so far, with a win and a loss in their two games.

Afghanistan, on the other hand, needs to improve because they have lost both of their games. Right now, they are fifth and ninth in the table of points.

The last game England played was against Bangladesh. Bangladesh won the toss and chose to field. It was as expected that England got off to a great start by destroying Bangladesh's bowling force. England scored 364 runs, which is a huge amount.

Bairstow and Root both hit fifty runs, and Dawid Malan hit an amazing hundred. However, Bangladesh could never get off to the right start because they kept losing wickets one after the other. In the end, they lost by a large score of 137 runs.

The last game Afghanistan played was against India. Afghanistan won the toss and chose to bat. While they got off to a good start, they lost a couple of wickets quickly. Shahidi and Omarzai scored 101 runs together, which made it look like they were going to score a big score, but Bumrah stopped them at 272.

In the chase, Rohit went crazy right from the start, hitting 131 off of just 84 balls. His team did a great job with him, and India easily won by eight wickets with 15 overs to spare.

PITCH REPORT

The track at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is quite helpful to batters. Pacers can use the double-paced nature of the pitch and trouble the batters while they would be looking forward to making the most of the loose deliveries. Teams choose to bat after winning the toss, with the average first innings total being 228.
