England play Afghanistan in a Pool A fixture at Sydney for one last time in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Both Afghanistan and England have been eliminated from the World Cup and will hope to finish their campaign on high. England suffered a nail-biting loss against Bangladesh in ther previous game and therefore make an early exit from the competition. Afghanistan on the other hand, in their World Cup debut have managed to post their maiden win, that against Scotland in a thrilling match that went down to the wire.

England, considering their stature in world cricket, will be extremely disappointed with the way they have gone about things in the tournament. Afghanistan, on the other hand, will take a lot from their experience in this tournament having played big guns like Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka. They were in fact quite close to winning their match against Sri Lanka, but unfortunately couldn’t. LIVE SCORECARD: England vs Afghanistan

England will be without the services of Moeen Ali and Chris Woakes for this match as they have been ruled out due to injury. Their places are likely to be taken by Gary Ballance and Steven Finn, which will mean that Alex Hales will open the innings, having batted at No.3 in the previous match against England. If Afghanistan pull off a victory, it will be their biggest achievement in their short international careers so far.  PREVIEW: England vs Afghanistan
