ODI World Cup:  England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Afghanistan in match 13 of 2023 Men's ODI World Cup, here at the Arun Jaitley Stadium on Sunday.

After winning the toss, Buttler said the side is unchanged from their 137-run win over Bangladesh in Dharamshala, also the first victory for the defending champions in the competition. It means that star all-rounder Ben Stokes continues to be on the sidelines.

"No particular reason (to bowl first), looks like a good wicket and we'll like to chase. Looks like a good batting strip, South Africa and India posted big scores. I think we've improved a lot from the first to the second game, we just have to show the same intensity," he said.
