England vs Pakistan ICC World Cup 2023 Match Preview

Table of Contents

England vs Pakistan will be the 44th ICC Cricket World Cup match, which will be played at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, on November 11, 2023.

England is now fighting for the Champions Trophy spot, and they are still on the hunt after defeating the Netherlands in their last match by 160 runs to register their 2nd win of the World Cup, but they are still in the fight to qualify for the Champions Trophy which is why they have to win their next match against Pakistan who will fight for a semi-final spot.

Ben Stokes showed the world that he still has in him to score big runs as he scored a century against the Netherlands when England was in trouble. However, Malan was also one of the batters who scored 87 runs to help his team get a good start, but Joe Root and Bairstow kept failing in every World Cup match.

The bowling unit of England did quite well, especially their spinners, who took 6 wickets together and bowled the Netherlands side all out on just 179. It will not be easy for the Pakistan team to win against England by a massive margin as they are also not performing well, but they are the luckiest team in the World Cup because of Maxwell’s impressive innings. They kept themselves alive in the game, and their DLS method results against New Zealand were another lucky moment for them.

In the last match, once again, it was Fakhar Zaman who stormed past the New Zealand bowlers with his lethal power hitting as he scored 126 runs in 81 balls, hitting 11 sixes and 8 fours to help his team to be in front and on the other side it was Babar Azam who scored 66 runs in 63 ball which is his style of play in every format because he wants to score his runs.

Eden Gardens pitch has been one of the most difficult batting pitches in the tournament, which does assist spinners more than pace bowlers. It will be difficult for the England batter to face the pace unit of Pakistan.

It is still quite tricky to predict the condition of the pitch, but the last match on this pitch was played between India and South Africa, in which Ravindra Jadeja took five wickets, but there was some dew in the second innings.

Team Preview Of England

England’s top-order needs to perform in the World Cup more because they are choking in the initial overs, which they did even in the last match. However, their bowling unit is doing fine in the tournament, but it consists of mostly old players who are not really very fit to play.

Important players for the England Team in the match against Australia

1- Ben Stokes scored a century in the last match and has a 47.88-run average against Pakistan in ODI. He will be the critical batter to keep his team alive in the Champions Trophy qualification run.

2- Joe Root has been failing in the World Cup, and he did not score much for the last year. He does have a good record against Pakistan, scoring 775 runs in 16 matches with an average of 51.66.

3- Chris Woakes kept up his good form in the last match as he scored 51 runs and picked one wicket in the last match against the Netherlands, which gave England a good total. He has 30 wickets in 13 ODI matches against Pakistan, which is a terrific wicket-taking ability.

Team Preview Pakistan

Pakistan has been lucky in the tournament, but they are also performing quite well after their defeat against Afghanistan, which is why they have the chance to qualify for the World Cup, but it is quite a small percentage.

Important players for the Pakistan Team in the match against the England Team

1- Fakhar Zaman has been sensational for the Pakistan team in the last two matches and has a decent record against England. He also played 138 innings against England in the past.

2- Shaheen Shah Afridi has been hot and cold in the World Cup, but in the last 2 out of 3 matches, he took around 9 wickets, which is why he has 19 wickets in the last 10 matches.

3- Babar Azam has been scoring constantly in the last two matches, but he is playing quite slowly, which can not be down against England because they need to score runs quickly in the next match.

England vs Pakistan Match Prediction

It is going to be hard to decide between two sides who underperform in the World Cup, but Pakistan will have a better chance to win the next match.
