In 2019 Pakistan went into their last league game needing a win margin of 300+ to make the top four. Now, they are in a similar spot needing a margin of 287 runs. In all likelihood, they are set to miss out due to net run rate again which will be a lot more hurtful considering they were one of the contenders for the top four coming into the tournament.

England though is putting to close a terrible tournament. The upcoming game could see a lot of farewells. Moeen Ali has hinted at some changes, while Ben Stokes and his journey with the ODI Team remains a question. Jos Buttler’s future as captain and the spots of most of the side are up for grabs. Irrespective, the upcoming game, a chance to seal a spot in the 2025 Champions Trophy is likely to be the last time a Golden generation of English players who came together in 2015 play together.

ENG vs PAK Key Players

Jos Buttler

Jos Buttler will be facing a lot of questions after the tournament and will want to reduce some of the questions with a good knock in a tournament that has seen him not contribute much with the bat. He will see a lot of his teammates moving around after the game and will hope to remain a constant as England look to come back from a bad tournament.

Haris Rauf

Haris Rauf was front and center in the action against South Africa. Had his appeal gone the other way, Pakistan would be a step ahead in the race to the Semi-Finals. Small margins though make a massive difference and Haris Rauf will know that well.

ENG vs PAK Match Tips

Although Pakistan are the one chasing a semi-final spot, England could spring a surprise with an era of players ending their Final tournament together in ODI Cricket.
