NEW DELHI (AP) England overcame a batting collapse to beat Afghanistan by 15 runs for its second win in three matches at the World Twenty20 on Wednesday.
England was 57-6 in the 10th over, but thanks to a boost from Moeen Ali and David Willey, they finished on 142-7.
Willey added 2-23 and Ali chipped in with 1-17 as Afghanistan lost too many wickets to threaten, and was limited to 127-9 in a third straight defeat in the Super 10 stage.
