Sydney: Afghanistan’s English coach Andy Moles feels his ambitious side has the potential to stun a lacklustre England in their final World Cup Pool A match here on Friday. “We had some great learning experiences in the World Cup. We got our first win against Scotland. We gave Sri Lanka a scare,” Moles was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald. Top 10 batsmen in ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
“To be fair the last two games were a bit of a mismatch if I was honest, playing Australia and New Zealand, the top two sides in the tournament, in their own conditions,” he added. Top 10 bowlers in ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
Moles said England are currently not at their peak and an all-round performance from the associate nation will see history in the making. “We have got England now and obviously they’re not in the best of nick at the moment.

“We have to play at our very best and we need England to not be at their best … we can stun them.” England are already out of the reckoning for a quarter-final spot, having lost four of their five games, including a 15-run defeat to Bangladesh.
