It’s show-time for Pakistan
Having lost to Afghanistan in their first warm-up game, Pakistan would want their players to shoulder some responsibility. They are coming off 10 losses in their last completed ODIs. However, they had won the ICC ChampionsTrophy, 2017 in England and this would serve as a morale booster for them.
Moreover, the fact that Pakistan have fared well in England is a huge positive for the side. In recent years, they have drawn two Test Test series on this turf and have beaten India in the finals of ICC Champions Trophy. Ten years ago, they also won their first World T20 title in the country.
