England take on Afghanistan on Friday morning looking to finish a dismal World Cup campgain on a rare positive note . Defeats to New Zealand , Australia , Sri Lanka and , most embarrassingly , Bangladesh , have seen Peter Moores ' side crash out of the competition at the first side . But the England coach will hope his team can at least show some spirit against minnows Afghanistan , to avoid going home having only beaten Scotland all tournament . Like England , their opponents have only picked up one win in the tournament and will be going home after this match , but for Afghanistan a win against Scotland was all they could have reasonably hoped to achieve . Beating England would be a major scalp , and raise even more questions about captain Eoin Morgan 's side . Realistically , England should be hoping for a dominant win , which might help salvage some confidence even if it comes too late to enable progress in the tournament . But with confidence levels as low as they can be , there is a chance of a defeat which would be even more shocking than Monday 's failure against Bangladesh .
