As the buzz and the excitement levels of the India vs Pakistan match in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023 dies down after the completion of it, normalcy is restored in the World Cup’s scheme of things.
England lock horns with Afghanistan in Match 13 of this competition and both the teams are coming on the back of contrasting fortunes. While the Three Lions suffered a loss in their first game and then bounced back in their next match against Bangladesh, the Afghans lost both of their opening encounters.
When these two teams had met in the ICC ODI World Cup 2019 fixture, England had won the game by a humongous margin of 150 runs.
In this article, we take a look at the top 3 vice-captain choices for this ENG vs AFG game in the ICC ODI World Cup 2023:
1. Reece Topley (England)
Left-arm seamer Reece Topley can be a good choice vice-captain for England in their ENG vs AFG game in the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023. He bagged 4 wickets in the game versus Bangladesh and was spitting out fire.
If he gets going, then the Afghan batters will have several clangers in Match 13 of the ongoing ICC ODI World Cup 2023. Thus, Reece Topley will be one of the key performers of England in the World Cup.
2. Rashid Khan (Afghanistan)
One of the world’s best leg-spinners, Rashid Khan, will be a key player to watch out for in this ENG vs AFG game. He bagged 2 wickets in the game versus India and took the important wickets of Rohit Sharma and Ishan Kishan.
Khan will be a key player for Afghanistan and will always have the edge in a white-ball game. He has played cricket, all over the globe and with cricketers from several countries, and therefore becomes a potent threat for the opposition in this match.
3. Dawid Malan (England)
Having scored 140 runs in the previous game, Dawid Malan is one of the players in form in the England side. Malan can be a good choice vice-captain in your fantasy team and everyone’s eyes will be on the southpaw.
We predict that Malan will have a good outing in this game versus Afghanistan and you can bet your money on him.
