ENG-PAK (1)
England won the toss and elected to bat first

In the 44th match of the ICC World Cup 2023, England won the toss and elected to bat first against Pakistan.

The Men in Green have made one change to their playing XI. Babar Azam said, “We have good bowlers, we will try to get them out cheaply.”

Pakistan’s slimmest chances of qualifying for the semi-final are over after England opted to bat first. The Men in Green will have to cross what ever total England set in a span of few overs.
