Afghanistan v England Superboost
England's Champions Trophy campaign continues against Afghanistan from 9am UK time on Wednesday and the Betfair Sportsbook have a superboost for this crucial game.
Jos Buttler's men need to get their campaign back on track after their defeat to Australia. To do that, England need Ben Duckett and Joe Root to excel at the crease, so Betfair have boosted the price on the pair hitting a combined seven boundaries from 4/71.57 to 1/12.00. They hit 24 boundaries between them against Australia so we reckon the price is appealing.
Back Duckett/Root to hit 7+ combined boundaries
Listen to this week's Cricket...Only Bettor
Ed Hawkins, Paul Krishnamurty, Richard Mann and Sam Collins have the best bets and angles for four Champions Trophy matches, including England v Afghanistan and Pakistan v Bangladesh, in this week's episode of Cricket...Only Bettor.
The podcast team have enjoyed the first week of the ODI tournament and celebrated a few winners. In this episode they target more, recommending their best bets.
They look ahead to the knockout rounds and ask, can anyone stop India?
There is also the latest on the pitches and extended analysis of England who suffered defeat in their opening match against Australia and now face a crucial showdown with Afghanistan.
Will Afghanistan shock England in Champions Trophy?
Here's a selection of what the podcast team had to say about England on this week's show.
Ed: "England's [total of] 352 against Australia was under par... England can't play spin. They have a poor record chasing and have lost seven of their last 11. Afghanistan have to bat first [if they are to win]."
Richard: "In theory on this surface, Afghanistan will be out-muscled. They don't have enough power in their batting line-up and England do. But England have been poor recently, particularly against spin. Aghanistan could bowl 40 overs of spin. On that basis, they could be the value here.
Paul: "Afghanistan are definitely value... I think Afghanistan's bowlers are going to cause England problems. The Aghanistan batsmen are not world beaters but they are solid."
