THE LOWDOWN
ENGLAND
Coach: Matthew Mott
Captain: Jos Buttler
- England professional dispatched Netherlands by 160 runs in Pune this past Wednesday to put themselves in prime position to nail down a top eight finish in the group stage and ICC Champions Trophy qualification, scant consolation for what has been a truly awful World Cup campaign.
- This will be David Willey’s final game for England before international retirement, so expect him to feature in what may be an unchanged side, with Ben Stokes playing once more before undergoing knee surgery.
PAKISTAN
Coach: Grant Bradburn
Captain: Babar Azam
- New Zealand’s significant win on Thursday against Sri Lanka leaves Pakistan needing a net-run-rate miracle to overtake them and reach the semi-finals, where India would lie in wait for them.
- The numbers have been crunched and Pakistan must defeat England by a margin of at least 275 runs, or chase a target down in just 2.3 overs, which essentially means that if England bat first here, it’s all over.
THE PREDICTION
Pakistan’s pace bowlers should be afforded plenty of joy against England’s batting line-up, which has been fragile in the extremely across this tournament, aside from Dawid Malan. Whilst their batters will need to take plenty of risks to get themselves up to a large target should they bat first, they are good enough to take on the challenge at least and try to get a total of well over 300. Although the chances of them beating England by 275 runs or more are slim in the extreme, Pakistan are at least worth backing to end up on the winning side.
