Pakistan produced a strong all-round performance to beat England by 87 runs and make it two wins from two in the tri-series. After being reduced to 81/4, Pakistan recovered through Hasan Nawaz (79) and Arafat Minhas (59), who added crucial runs in the middle order. Faheem Ashraf also chipped in with a valuable 35 as Pakistan finished on 302/9. Minhas then delivered a stunning spell with the ball, taking a career-best 6/40 to dismantle England’s batting. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf provided valuable support with two wickets each as England were bowled out for 215.
Fakhar Zaman will open the innings with Saim Ayub. Both have failed to score runs in this series. Zaman has 16 while Ayub has 15 runs in the first two games. Babar Azam will come in at number three. He scored 34 in the last game. He has 340 runs in the last 7 ODIs at an average of 57. He will be the batter to watch out for.
Saad Baig will come in the middle with Salman Agha, Hasan Nawaz, and Arafat Minhas. Baig and Minhas average 38 in the last 2 games while scoring 151 runs collectively. Salman Agha is their leading run-scorer with 123 runs. He scored a century in the first game. Nawaz scored 79 off 74 balls in the last game while hitting 5 fours and 4 sixes. The Pakistani batters have managed to take their team past 300 in both games.
Arafat Minhas picked up his career-best 6 wickets in the last game. Shaheen Shah Afridi will lead the bowling attack with Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, and Saim Ayub. Rauf has 19 wickets in the last 9 ODIs. He will be the bowler to watch out for. Afridi has 15 wickets in 9 ODIs. He was wicketless in the last game. Afridi has 92 wickets in 43 games when his team bowls first - the most by any bowler in the team.
Key Players: Babar Azam, Salman Agha, Haris Rauf.

England posted a massive 429/4, but still ended up on the losing side in one of the highest-scoring ODIs ever. Harry Brook produced a record-breaking 202 off 114 balls, becoming the first England batter to score an ODI double-century. He shared a 159-run partnership with Joe Root (69) and an unbeaten 185-run stand with Will Jacks (66)*. However, their bowling attack struggled badly in the heavy dew, allowing Sri Lanka to chase down 430 with a ball to spare. Sam Curran had a particularly difficult outing, conceding 103 runs in nine overs, the worst bowling figures by an England player in ODIs. England's defeat leaves them needing a response after losing two of their last three matches in the tri-series.
Tom Banton contributed a quick 50 as England dominated the final 10 overs, scoring 156 runs. He will open with Ben Duckett. Duckett scored 29 in the last game. Joe Root will come in at number three. Root has 102 runs in the last 2 games.
Harry Brook will come in the middle with Sam Curran, Will Jacks, and Jordan Cox. Harry Brook’s record-breaking 202 against Sri Lanka produced several remarkable milestones. He became the first batter to score an ODI double-century in Pakistan, reaching the landmark in just 114 balls — the fastest double hundred in men’s ODI cricket. Brook also smashed 174 runs off 90 balls against fast bowlers, the most runs scored against pace during an ODI innings. Despite his extraordinary effort, his 202 made history as the first ODI double-century scored in a losing cause. Will Jacks scored 66 runs off 30 balls with 8 fours and 3 sixes.
Though the bowlers have taken 16 wickets in the first two games, they have leaked runs. Sam Baker and Joshua Tounge have 3 wickets each in two games. England’s bowling attack came under severe pressure as Sri Lanka chased down 430, needing 261 runs from the final 25 overs after reaching 169/2. It was the most runs ever successfully chased in the last 25 overs of an ODI, highlighting just how badly England lost control of the game in the second half.
Key Players: Harry Brook, Will Jacks, Joshua Tounge.

The match will be played at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on 25th October, from 1:30 pm onwards. The average first innings score is 251, 34 more than the second innings. Pakistan’s 375/3 against Zimbabwe in 2015 is the highest ODI total at the venue. In the last eight completed ODIs excluding the rain-affected game, the first-innings average rises to around 287, with the second innings averaging 266. Batting first and chasing have each won 50% of those matches.
90 ODIs have been played at Gaddafi Stadium, with 46 wins for teams batting first and 42 for teams chasing. Gaddafi Stadium has not shown a strong chasing advantage recently. In the latest eight completed ODIs, teams batting first and chasing have each won 50% of the games. The team winning the toss should bowl first.
Pakistan will start as the favourites after winning their opening two games of the tri-series, with their all-round performance against England showing the depth in both departments. Their batting has held up well under pressure, with Hasan Nawaz and Arafat Minhas leading the recovery after Pakistan were reduced to 81/4 in their previous game. However, England will be keen to respond after their remarkable 429/4 against Sri Lanka ended in defeat, despite Harry Brook scoring a record-breaking 202.
Gaddafi Stadium has also produced a fairly even contest recently, with teams batting first and chasing each winning four of the last eight completed ODIs at the venue. Pakistan's bowlers will nevertheless need to be more disciplined after Sri Lanka chased 430 against England, with England's attack conceding 261 runs in the final 25 overs. With Pakistan carrying the stronger momentum and having already beaten England in the tournament, they should have enough balance to make it three wins in a row.
We predict that Pakistan will beat England.
