AFG vs ENG: Pitch Report

The surface at the Gaddafi Stadium is a brilliant one for the batting side. England and Australia produced a high-scoring match at this venue a few nights ago. There will be not much help for the bowlers, apart from the new ball. As the ball gets old, it will be easier to clear the boundary, while defending a total can be tough, as seen in recent matches, mainly because of the dew.
