Match Preview
England will take on Pakistan in their last league-stage fixture of the ODI World Cup 2023. The reigning champions have crashed out of the tournament, while the South Asian team is still in the race for the semifinals. The 2019 winners registered a huge 160-run win over the Netherlands in their last fixture. Pakistan, on the flip side, registered a 21-run win over New Zealand in their last match by the DLS method.
Toss Prediction
In the last three matches that the Men in Green played, skipper Babar Azam managed to win two tosses over his rival captains. English skipper Jos Buttler, on the other hand, won all three toss wars in his previous fixtures. Speaking of the upcoming match, we think Azam would have luck on his side, and he will win the toss battle over Buttler.
Win Possibility
England and Pakistan have faced each other in 91 ODI games. Out of those 91 games, England have come out victorious on 56 occasions, whereas the 1992 champions won 32 fixtures. This speaks volumes about the fact that the Englishmen make up one of the strongest teams in cricket. However, they are in questionable form in this season of the World Cup, whereas Pakistan are in decent form of late.
While the Three Lions have already crashed out of the tournament, Pakistan are still in contention for the semifinal spot. Babar Azam and Co. will give their best in the upcoming game, and hence, we think they will win the match.
Predicted Powerplay Score and Average First Inning Score
Eden Gardens in Kolkata will host its second-last ODI World Cup 2023 match as England play Pakistan. Speaking of its overall record, the oldest cricket stadium in India has hosted a total of 31 ODI matches so far. The average first-inning score of the venue is 236. For the forthcoming match, we think the first-inning score is likely to be around 280-300, while the powerplay score will be 40-45.
