Pakistan vs Afghanistan T20 World Cup HIGHLIGHTS: The play has been called off due to rain. They have bullied the likes of Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and the West Indies in recent times, and almost decimated Pakistan at the Asia Cup. England skipper Jos Buttler is back and has looked at his devastating best since his return. England and Afghanistan will play at the new Optus Stadium in Perth. Ben Stokes bowls that a bit slow as Najib chip it in the air while trying to go over mid on. Mark Wood bowls that back of the length, going down the leg, Nabi tries to nudge that to the fine leg but only manages to give a catch to the wicket-keeper. Touch fuller from Woakes as Najeeb gives himself some room to go over covers but the ball takes the toe end of the bat and goes straight back to the bowling end. He bowls that full, offers width to Farooqi who throws his bat on it but doesn't really get the timing right and is caught by Malan at backward point for 0 off 2. Another brilliant take from England and that's a fifer for Sam Curran. He comes round the wicket to Stokes, bowls it straight and just pulls the length a bit at the last second as Stokes stepped. Dawid Malan just drives that through the off side, the ball was in the air and Nabi, stationed at extra cover puts in the dive to his left and grabs a stunner. They suffered some hiccups in the middle overs but kept themselves in the hunt and eventually went over the line.

Sam Curran took 5-10 as England began their T20 World Cup campaign with a five-wicket win over Afghanistan.

The fun continues for the left-armer. Curran starred at the death, Wood’s pace was terrifying, and Stokes finished with 2-19 from his four overs. A very assured display from England in the field. 1st over: England 5-0 (Hales 0, Buttler 4) Left-armer Fazalhaq Farooqi opens up for Afghanistan and Buttler clips his second ball off the pads for four. A good stop from Zazai at short fine leg stops Buttler from picking up four more later in the over. 8th over: England 50-1 (Hales 18, Malan 8) Dropped! Left-arm quick Farid is into the attack and removes Hales! Mohammad Nabi brings himself on to twirl some offies and he strikes by going straight through Stokes! England need 13 from 24. Sam Curran will take the plaudits for his sparkling figures of 5-10. Just realised that was Sam Curran’s first World Cup game for England, which feels weird because he’s been around for a while. - WICKET!

Perth will see a battle between England's explosive batters and Afghanistan spinners in ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Follow ENG vs AFG live.

Bowl accurately but know the right time to bowl a delivery that might get hit for four or six but might get a wicket." In his World Cup debut, Curran continued his excellent form from the Australia series, where he excelled with a canny mix of full and short deliveries. "I'm just trying to be as adaptable as possible and giving the bowling group loads of different options. Bowl accurately but know the right time to bowl a delivery that might get hit for four or six but might get a wicket"Mark Wood It's a great bowling group and we're all very different. he wants me to get people out. His fastest was clocked at 154kph/96mph and he had an average speed of 149kph/93mph. Previously, Stokes had been used towards the end of the powerplay, but getting him on early utilises his strength of finding swing while providing more options for Buttler in the end overs.
