ENG vs PAK HIGHLIGHTS, World Cup 2023: England finish the World Cup with a win but neither the Three Lions nor the Men in Green managed to secure a place in the semis.
So we are almost done from the group-stage of this World Cup. The four semifinalist and their fixtures are confirmed and one final round-robin fixture will be played on November 12 (Sunday) with a team sitting at the top of the table set to lock horns against Dutch who are not in top eight at the moment. Pakistan's World Cup campaign ended with this defeat against England who were already out of contention for a place in the semis. We will be back with our coverage of the IND vs NED fixture- the final round-robin match on Diwali as well as the other matches from the business end of the competition. But for now, from all of us at ABP LIVE, it's Good night.
200 up For Pakistan. But it's only a matter of time and about how many runs they lose by at this point in the contest.
Shaheen Shah Afridi departs. Not the end to the World Cup campaign Pakistan were hoping for as wicket number 9 goes with Shaheen Shah Afridi getting out LBW for 25 off 23. PAK- 191/9 after 37.4 Overs.
Adil Rashid gets a second. Shadab Khan the man dimissed. Surely the game's over here. Any hopes of a miracle too diminishing. PAK- 150/7 after 31.4 Overs after Shadab sees his stumps getting disturbed.
England all over Pakistan here at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Moeen Ali has a second wicket to his credit as Iftikhar Ahmed falls for 3. PAK- 145/6 in 30.1 overs.
Half The Side Back In Pavilion. Getting worse for Pakistan. Saud Shakeel gets bowled around his legs by Adil Rashid. PAK- 126/5 in 27.5 overs.
So we are halfway through the innings. PAK- 108/4 after 25 overs. They need 230 from 25 overs. Required run rate 9.20 runs per over. Saud Shakeel and Afgha Salman the two Pakistan batters out in the middle.
Will it be England then who will finish their World Cup campaign on a high? Mohammad Rizwan departs as he goes for a massive shot across the line and sees his stumps being rattled. PAK- 100/4 after 22.3 Overs. Moeen Ali gets a wicket.
Babar's Final Innings In World Cup 2023 Ends. Pakistan captain pulls it straight to midwicket. Rashid takes the catch and it is Gus Atkinson who gets the wicket. Babar falls for 38 off 45. PAK- 61/3 after 14 overs.
Rizwan, Babar Out In Middle for Pakistan. Chris Woakes has the new ball in hand from the other hand and he along with Willey have made life miserable for Pakistan batters.
Pakistan innings derailed it seems. They have lost both their openers early, chasing 338 to win. Abdullah Shafique getting out for a 2-ball duck, Fakhar Zaman getting out for 1 off 9 balls. Willey in his last ODI, making all the impact for England. PAK- 10/2 after 2.4 overs.
England finish at 337/9. Two wickets and a leg-bye to finish off from Pakistan. Pakistan need 338 to win.
FOUR & SIX To Begin WIth. David Willey on fire.
Wasim running in to bowl the final over of the innings.
49 overs done. ENG- 322/7 at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. Chris Woakes, David Willey out in the middle at the moment.
Haris Rauf this time who gets a wicket off a slower delivery. Harry Brook departs for 30 off 17. ENG- 302/5 after 46.4 Overs.
Joe Root Falls now. It's a slower ball that has helped Shaheen get a second wicket in this spell. The batter goes back for 60 off 72. ENG- 257/4 after 42.2 Overs.
A 132-run stand for the third wicket is broken. It's Shaheen Shah Afridi who strikes, removing Stokes for 84 off 76. A peach of a yorker and even a set Stokes had no answer to it as off-stump is disturbed. ENG- 240/3 after 40.1 Overs.
Half-Century For Stokes. He has shown great form but a bit too late for England, as far as their qualification for semifinal is concerned it won't be of any help.
Nice partnership between Root and Stokes. The two have added 78 off 88 already.
Bairstow departs after half-century. ENG-108/2 after 18.2 Overs. He goes back for 59 off 61. Driven on the up but it's in the air and straight to the man at cover.
Iftikhar Ahmed provides the breakthrough to Pakistan. Dawid Malan went for the reverse sweep but managed an edge that was caught by Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps. ENG- 82/1 after 13.3 Overs.
Pakistan are still in search of their first wicket. END OF OVER 13. ENG- 82/0 after 13 overs.
After a few quiet overs, the two batters have managed to find the boundaries and got their run rate up and running. At the end of the 6-over mark, ENG are 38/0. Rauf once again a bit expensive, going for 31 in his 3 overs. Afridi has conceded 7 in his 3. Dawid Malan- 11* off 16, Jonny Bairstow- 16* off 20.
Out come the England openers Dawid Malan and Jonny Bairstow. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Haris Rauf with the new ball in hand from the two ends for Pakistan. With England batting first, Pakistan are virtually out of semis contention.
England (Playing XI): Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler(w/c), Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Gus Atkinson, Adil Rashid
Pakistan (Playing XI): Abdullah Shafique, Fakhar Zaman, Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Shadab Khan, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf
Babar Azam: We wanted to bat first, but toss is not in our hands. We have good bowlers and we would look to bowl them out cheaply. We have one change - Hasan Ali is not playing and Shadab Khan comes in his place.
Jos Buttler: We gonna bat first. Looks a good wicket, looks dry. We are going with the same team today. We are playing well together and would look to justice to ourselves.
England have won the toss and have opted to bat
Hello and welcome to live coverage of PAK vs ENG ODI World Cup 2023 match!
Background
England vs Pakistan Live Score: The 44th fixture of the ongoing ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023, is set to take place at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Saturday, November 11, featuring a match between England and Pakistan. England are already eliminated from the tournament, while Pakistan still hold slimmest of the chances of qualifying.
Following New Zealand's recent five-wicket victory over Sri Lanka, they nearly secured a spot in the semifinals based on a better net run rate (NRR). However, for Pakistan to advance, they must either defeat England by more than 275 runs or successfully chase any total set by England within 2.3 overs, which looks like all but a far-fetched dream. In the best-case scenario for Pakistan, if they bat first, they need a strong start, with Fakhar Zaman, the hero of their last match, replicating his impressive performance. Captain Babar Azam and the struggling middle-order need to step up, and the bowlers must deliver an exceptional performance.
In their final league game of CWC 2023, England, currently positioned at seventh place with only two wins, have no chance of advancing to the knockout stage. However, a victory for England guarantees their qualification, unless both Bangladesh and the Netherlands secure wins with substantial margins. However, if England lose, they must ensure they maintain a higher net run rate than Sri Lanka and hope for any outcome that doesn't place both Bangladesh and the Netherlands ahead of them. Simply put, they can tolerate trailing behind one of them but not both.
Coming to the pitch of the venue, Eden Gardens surface is expected to favour batsmen, resulting in a high-scoring match. As the game progresses, spinners may find opportunities to make an impact, making the decision to bowl first a wise choice at this venue.
Probable XI (England): Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Harry Brook, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali, Chris Woakes, David Willey, Adil Rashid, Gus Atkinson
Probable XI (Pakistan): Fakhar Zaman, Abdullah Shafique, Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan, Saud Shakeel, Iftikhar Ahmed, Agha Salman, Usama Mir/Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Mohammad Wasim Jr, Haris Rauf
