England made a mega mistake..!? Reason for the defeat..!?

The main reason for this defeat is the team selection of the england team. The first mistake was underestimating the afghanistan team. Similarly, the main reason for England's defeat was not including moeen ali, an important all-rounder, in the team without properly understanding the delhi pitch where the match took place. Earlier in this match england team won the toss and chose to bowl, but the team could not control the run accumulation of the afghanistan team. Even though the afghanistan team lost wickets, they played calmly in the spin bowling. However, the pace bowlers' overs were more run-accumulating.
The reason for this was that it was difficult to deal with the spin bowling on the delhi pitch and score runs. Rashid is the only full-time spinner in the england team. Part-time spinner Liam Livingstone bowled the entire 10 overs in this match. Joe Root bowled 4 overs. The first upset should be another full-time spinner beyond these two part-time spinners. moeen ali is a spinner with batting skills. The england team did not include him in the team. Had he been kept in this match, surely the afghanistan team would have had to play a calm game in 10 more overs. moeen ali has the experience of playing on indian pitches in the IPL series, so there was definitely a chance to take more wickets.
But the england team made a big mistake by underestimating the afghanistan team and not selecting him in the team. Similarly, moeen ali is sure to make an impact in the chase as well. Had afghanistan not scored big, england could have won this match without the pressure of scoring. Many people thought that afghanistan had no chance of defeating the big teams in this world cup series. However, the afghanistan team defeated the england team by 69 runs and gave a shock treatment in the 2023 World Cup. The main reason for England's failure was their lack of trust in spin bowling.
