With the return of in-form batsman Younis Khan and youngster Mohammad Rizwan in the ODI team, Pakistani batting line has surely gained strength. In the bowling department, off-spinner Bilal Asif (after his bowling action got cleared) left-arm pacer Mohammad Irfan and all-rounder Anwar Ali have also been included in the side.

Overall, Pakistan cricket team has an edge over English side for being a balanced unit for this format and also they have been performing consistently well on these grounds. Nevertheless, it can be a tough contest too as some England players (Alex Hales, Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler) have the ability to surprise with their performance and we all know cricket is a game by chance.
