Pakistan's team is currently one of the most balanced ODI outfits in the world. Moreover, they defeated India comprehensively in the ICC Champions Trophy Final to lift the cup and prove their prowess. Playing in England also makes them one of the strong contenders for the 2019 World Cup.

The English pitches will suit the pace bowling of Hasan Ali and Shaheen Shah Afridi. The presence of Shoaib Malik and the captain Sarfaraz in the middle-order will also assure stability in the batting department. Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim have been very impressive with their spin bowling.
