England will be going head-to-head against Afghanistan in the 13th match of the ODI World Cup 2023 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. After defeating Bangladesh by a big margin in their previous match of the flagship tournament, the English will be confident about easing past Afghans in their upcoming encounter. These two nations have played twice against each other in ODIs, during the past two ICC Cricket World Cups, where England got the better of Afghanistan in an effortless way. Pitch Report The pitches at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi have been massively in favour of the batters, coupled with the short size of the boundaries. It has led to South Africa breaking the record for the highest ODI World Cup score against Sri Lanka in excess of 400, despite the average first innings score being just 238 at this venue.
