Pitch Report: India scored 336 batting first against Pakistan in the opening match of CWC19 at Old Trafford. The same pitch will be used for the England vs Afghanistan (ENG vs AFG) game. Kuldeep Yadav and Imad Wasim were the two best bowlers from both the sides on Sunday and therefore Rashid Khan and Adil Rashid will potentially play an important role in the encounter. Eoin Morgan in the pre-match conference also said that the pitch looked like it will have good carry for the pacers while also having some turn. But with another stop-start expected, the team that bats second might have an additional advantage.
