ENG vs AFGH World Cup Head to Head Stats & History

Last Modified Sep 29, 2023 15:17 IST

Team England and Afghanistan will square off against each other in Match No. 13 of the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023. The much-awaited clash will be played at the iconic Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi on October 15, 2023. The match will start at 2:00 p.m. IST.

England and Afghanistan rarely lock horns against each other in international cricket. In fact, they have gone head-to-head against each other in only two one-day internationals and three T20Is.

It will come as a surprise if Afghanistan go on to beat England in their clash at the ODI World Cup 2023. England have been unbeaten against Afghanistan in the two ODIs they have played. Interestingly, both of those ODIs took place at the ODI World Cup event.

Ahead of the ODI World Cup clash between England and Afghanistan, let us take a look at the head-to-head stats in ODIs and ODI World Cups between the two sides:
