England survives

ENGLAND overcame a batting collapse to beat Afghanistan by 15 runs for its second win in three matches at the World Twenty20 yesterday.

England was 57-6 in the 10th over and 85-7 in the 15th, but thanks to a boost from Moeen Ali (41 not out) and David Willey (20 not out), it finished on a defendable 142-7 in New Delhi. Willey then took 2-23 with the new ball and Ali chipped in with 1-17 as Afghanistan could manage only 127-9 in reply. The results confirms that Asghar Stanikzai’s Afghanistan side is out of the hunt for a semifinal spot.
