Why it matters
Provides sports enthusiasts and bettors with tactical analysis and team news for a high-profile international cricket fixture.
Salman Agha was supposed to be a problem for Pakistan to solve. Dropped from the Test side and stripped of the T20 captaincy within two months, he walked out at Rawalpindi on Sunday with four wickets down inside 22 overs and finished with 107 off 90 balls, his fourth ODI hundred.
That rescue job set up a 37-run win over Sri Lanka, even after Pavan Rathnayake and Janith Liyanage added 119 for the fifth wicket and Sri Lanka then lost their last five for 15.
Now comes England, who have beaten Pakistan in each of their last four ODI meetings, the most recent by 93 runs in November 2023. Pakistan's last win came on June 3, 2019.
England lead the overall record 57 to 32 across 92 games. Harry Brook's side face them at the same ground.
