We take a look at the current form, head-to-head, players to look out for, and squads of both teams in our match preview.

Current form of Pakistan: W W W W L

Pakistan is always a dangerous team in World Cup events and they have once again proved their mettle. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan are back among the runs and it is a huge positive for the team. Moreover, their middle order and the bowling unit have done a fine job.

England has ticked the right boxes and they were at their sublime best against India in the semi-final on Thursday. Alex Hales and Jos Buttler were able to put on a show while the bowlers were also right on the money. England would want to replicate the same against Pakistan in the all-important final.
