After a victorious beginning to their tri-series campaign, Pakistan will look to continue their winning run against England in the second match on Tuesday, October 20, at Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi. The hosts had a brilliant game in the series opener as Salman Agha slammed a century (107) to help them post 305.
In the second innings, Shaheen Afridi (3/55), Naseem Shah (2/43), Haris Rauf (2/48) and Faheem Ashraf (2/49) were all amongst the wickets to set up a 37-run victory for their team. On the other hand, England are coming into the series fresh from winning back-to-back ODI rubbers against India and Sri Lanka.
The Harry Brook-led side will look to continue their winning momentum and give a strong fight to the hosts, having won their last four ODIs played between the two teams.
