England and Afghanistan will cross swords in the 13th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 on October 14 at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi.

England are currently placed fifth on the points table. They were crushed by New Zealand in the tournament opener. However, they delivered a performance one would expect from the defending champions as they bulldozed Bangladesh by 137 runs in Dharamsala.

Afghanistan languish at the bottom of the points table as their World Cup campaign has witnessed two losses and no wins so far. 

In their previous game, Afghanistan endured a whopping eight-wicket defeat at the hands of India.

Top fantasy picks and tips for ENG vs AFG

Dawid Malan: Batter

England opener Dawid Malan is in scintillating form. In his last five ODI innings, the southpaw has smashed two centuries and as many fifties.

When England faced Bangladesh on Tuesday, it was Malan's innings at the top that set the tone for them to reach a total in excess of 350 runs. The 36-year-old hammered 140 runs off 107 deliveries, which is also his highest score in the ODI format.

Joe Root: Batter

England's number three Joe Root is running in red-hot form. Although there were concerns on his form before the World Cup, Root exhibited his big-match temperament right from the moment the tournament began.

He was England's only half-century in the opener versus New Zealand, playing a 77-run knock. He followed it with another batting masterclass, scoring a fifty against Bangladesh.

Rashid Khan: Afghanistan

Afghanistan's Rashid Khan has not been at this best in the World Cup. Although he did take two wickets in the India clash, his performance was far off from what his team expects from him.

However, he is the biggest match-winner in this Afghanistan side. With his leg-spin, Rashid can take down any batting line-up. Moreover, he is capable enough to play useful cameos with the bat and considering how the Delhi pitch has behaved recently, Afghanistan would want Rashid - The Batter to show up.
