On the other hand, Afghanistan(AFG) lost their first game against South Africa(SA), where Ryan Rickelton scored an outstanding century, helping the Proteas take the game home.

Pitch Report

The Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, is a batting paradise and might not favor the batters much. The ball will come onto the bat quite easily, making it difficult for the bowlers to take wickets. Since England have some good batters, they will love the pitch conditions and the atmosphere of the stadium. Any team that wins the toss should look to bat first.
