Courtesy of Salman Ali Agha’s century and Shaheen Afridi’s three-wicket haul, the hosts registered a 37-run win over the Island Nation. However, England pose a different threat than Sri Lanka, and the pitch too might behave differently since its hosting two consecutive matches.

It will be a sluggish wicket, where spinners will come into play as the game gets going. There is very little for the seamers and the batters will enjoy the pace. The fans should expect a 280-300 runs match, which is a par score at this venue.

Meanwhile, both Pakistan and England will look to field first after winning the toss. Notably, slight dew will also play a key role at the Rawalpindi Stadium, given its late October.
