Watch Today's ICC Cricket World Cup Match - Afghanistan vs England Online HD Live Streaming Match 38
Scotland are without a win in this World Cup and their hope of a victory over Sri Lanka ended when the 1996 World Champions registered a win on Wednesday. In comparison, England and Afghanistan have managed one win each in this edition of the World Cup.Afghanistan managed to win their first World Cup match against the Scots and a win over the English side will be a massive boost for them.Both sides will go into the match with exactly the same number of points after enjoying a win apiece over Scotland, like Afghanistan a non-Test side.
England will take on Afghanistan in the last Group A clash of the 2015 ICC World Cup at Sydney Cricket Ground on Friday.England were knocked out of the World Cup after their defeat at the hands of Bangladesh in the last fixture. The Tigers posted a defendable total of 275 runs from 50 overs.Now Afghanistan coach Andy Moles wants his free-spirited side, featuring pacemen Hamid Hassan and Shapoor Zadran, as well as several hard-hitting batsmen, to pile on the agony.
"They (England) are not in the best of nick at the moment and we still believe that, if at the top of the order with the bat especially, we just need to show a bit more composure, we`ve still got a scare in us," said Moles.
Afghanistan believe they`ve still "got a scare" left in them ahead of their World Cup finale against England in Sydney on Friday.A win over Afghanistan will be a consolation for England and failing to do so will only compound their misery after their World Cup exit.
