Although, Sarfaraz Ahmed's side had a poor start (three defeats in first five fixtures), Pakistan have bought themselves back on track, after wins against Afghanistan, South Africa and New Zealand. Meanwhile, England have had two consecutive defeats (Sri Lanka and Australia) lately, and need to win their next two games to progress to the semi-finals.
