AFG vs ENG Dream11 Prediction: The group B matches of the much-anticipated 2025 ICC Champions Trophy were abandoned for the Aussies taking on a heated rivalry against South Africa. Now, both underdogs England and Afghanistan, see this as an opportunity to extend some lead and keep themselves alive in the race to the semis.
England now has never won a single Champions Trophy, and Afghanistan is starring in their first-ever Champions Trophy, as they featured among the top 8 teams in the World Cup, leaving behind heavyweights.
England, who recently lost an ODI series to India while playing in Asia, will also suffer a loss against Australia in a huge scoring game. Afghans, on the other hand, look to revive from their humiliating loss against South Africa.
