Who wins the ENG vs AFG CWC 2023 match? 

The Afghanistan cricket team has put up a brilliant bowling performance now against England and has kept the opposition under pressure. The English team has already lost six wickets for under 150 runs, which has made the chase very difficult for the English team. No, the English batter was allowed to stay at the crease for long by the Afghanistan bowlers, however, Jos Buttler and Co. are not yet out of the match due to their batting depth and it is very hard to predict who wins the match in New Delhi.
