In the absence of Jonny Bairstow and Jason Roy, the likes of Phil Salt and Alex Hales have stepped up big time. England's bowling has also been top notch. They will want to get their combination right before the Super 12.
Pakistan, meanwhile, made one change in their squad. The Men in Green roped in Fakhar Zaman into the 15-member squad in place of the injured leg-spinner Usman Qadir. Fakhar, however, won't play againt England, though.
Shaheen Shah Afridi has achieved the desired fitness levels and could take the field on Monday. The game is also a chance for Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and other Pakistani batters to get their act together.
