PAK vs ENG Match Prediction
England will enter this match with confidence after their 51-run win over Sri Lanka. Batting first, England posted 146/9, with Phil Salt anchoring the innings with 62. However, their bowlers turned the match around in the powerplay. Will Jacks produced a match-winning spell of 3/22, while Jofra Archer dismantled Sri Lanka's top order. Reduced to 34/5 inside six overs, Sri Lanka never recovered, being bowled out for just 95 in 16.4 overs. This impressive performance not only earned England two crucial points but also significantly boosted their net run rate.
Pakistan's Super Eights campaign got off to a disappointing start. Their match against New Zealand in Colombo was abandoned without a ball being bowled due to persistent rain. Both teams shared one point each, leaving Pakistan still searching for momentum in the second phase.
