Preview

Despite not having a majority of the big names in the squad, England have outplayed Pakistan in the first two contests. Contrary to the expectations, the men in green have put up a disappointing show in the first two games and subsequently suffered defeats. With the Three Lions already having the series in the bag, Babar Azam’s men have nothing but pride to play for.

Although Pakistan has multiple areas to work upon, their poor batting show has been the main reason behind their downfall. On the other hand, the second-string England side has left the cricket world in awe. Under Ben Stokes’ leadership, the home team  have performed well as a unit and would be determined to register a clean sweep.

Captaincy Picks for ENG vs PAK

Hasan Ali

Although the Men in Green didn’t have many cheerful moments in this tour, Hasan Ali enjoyed a good day at the field during the second ODI. The right-arm pacer made the white-ball talk and has scalped his fourth five-wicket haul in ODIs. While batting, he has also scored a quick-fire 31 off 17 balls.

Saqib Mahmood

Mahmood will be the man to watch out for from the England camp. In the absence of Jofra Archer, Chris Woakes, and Mark Wood, the right-arm pacer led the English bowling attack and gave a tough time to the visitors. Mahmood bowled with hostility and scalped six wickets in the first two games.
