If you look at Afghanistan from 2015 to now, they are a completely different side," said Kohli at the pre-departure press conference here."."The recent series between Pakistan and England saw 300-plus scores being the norm but Kohli said things could change in the quadrennial tournament."As I said the pitches are going to be very good. We expect high scoring games but a bilateral series can't be compared to a World Cup, it is very different.
