England captain Jos Buttler won the toss and chose to bowl against Afghanistan at Perth Stadium. The captain expressed confidence that his team will beat Afghanistan’s total. England changed their lineup, resting Chris Jordan, David Willey, Phil Salt, and Tymal Mills. At the toss, Afghanistan captain Mohammad Nabi felt upbeat about his team’s chances of overcoming England.

Jos Buttler and company will look to get their campaign off to a strong start against a confident Afghanistan side. England qualified for the T20 World Cup after winning the T20I series against Pakistan and Australia. They have one of the most lethal batting lineups in T20I cricket, and their fearless approach will cause problems for many teams, including Saturday’s opponents Afghanistan, who rely heavily on their spinners to get the job done.
Afghanistan impressed many with their performance in the Asia Cup 2022, but they lost a few close games that they hope to avoid here. They will attempt to make an impression by causing an upset against England in order to announce their presence at the mega T20 WC.

Meanwhile, the pitch in Perth is expected to provide pace and bounce, giving England an advantage because they have some quality pacers who can hit the deck hard.
