What channel is England v Afghanistan Cricket World Cup 2023 match on? TV coverage, live stream and UK time
Check out how to watch England v Afghanistan in the Cricket World Cup 2023, including TV and radio coverage, UK time and our key player to watch.
England take-on Afghanistan in Delhi, where a victory for the Three Lions would knock Afghanistan out of semi-final contention.
All being well, it should be a routine victory for England, with their opponents Afghanistan entering the fixture with two drab defeats to their name after losing convincingly to both Bangladesh and India.
It's been a disappointing competition for Afghanistan, who do have the individual talent to challenge anyone on their day, it’s just that so far that day hasn’t yet arrived in this tournament.
England were bruised after their opening round mauling at the hands of New Zealand, but bounced back with a convincing win against Bangladesh where opener Dawid Malan scored a superb century. A win here and the competition will be set up nicely for a blockbuster fixture against South Africa the following weekend.
With such a big fixture ahead, England may look to rotate their seamers, with David Willey and Gus Atkinson ready to come off the bench. Meanwhile, it is still unclear whether Ben Stokes will return from injury in time to take the field on Sunday.

England v Afghanistan key player to watch
Mark Wood (England)
We’re going to cheat a bit here, as Wood is a likely candidate to be rested. But if he is, it'll be a good insight into England’s commitment to rotating their seamers throughout the competition as had been promised ahead of the tournament.
If he sits out, we could see the inexperienced Gus Atkinson take his place, who would be making his World Cup debut in what would be just the sixth one-day match of his career.
