The two nations recently met in a seven-game T20 series in Pakistan which England won 4-3. The games were closely contested and there were times there was not much to choose between them. The Pakistan cricket team is unpredictable and this further grows in big tournaments. We never know what side turns up on the match day but the quality they possess is truly world-class. Opponents England remain one of the favoruites for the World Cup and their recent showing against Australia bears testimony to this fact. They look the more balanced of the two teams.

Jos Butler and Alex Hales are known for their power-hitting in the first six overs of the game. If one of them gets their eye in and sets up a platform for the middle order, England could be in the ascendency. Ben Stokes is likely to be promoted up the order again with Liam Livingstone and Moeen Ali as the pinch hitters towards the end. Chris Woakes is fit again and has got some game under his belt after a lengthy injury lay-off which bodes well for the team.

Mohammad Rizwan is one of the world's most consistent players in T20 cricket, and Pakistan depends a lot on him to get them off to a flier. His strike-rate early on may not be the best but he makes up for it by batting for a long duration. The Pakistan middle order is where majority of their problem lies with not much consistency there. Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi with the new bowl could do much damage.
