England vs Pakistan 5th ODI Prediction

Pakistan seem to rely heavily on their opening pair of Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman as far as their batting is concerned. These two batsmen have looked in fine touch on this tour and the visitors will be hoping that they can take them off to a good start again. However, the team's middle order has not been very consistent except for Asif Ali who has had a few decent outings lately. Babar Azam is a key man in this batting unit and Pakistan should get into a strong position if he gets going. In terms of bowling, skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed has turned to Hasan Ali, Shaheen Afridi and Junaid Khan to take wickets each time, and once again, he will be counting on them to do the job for him. Shaheen Afridi is likely to lead the team's pace attack and it will be crucial that he strikes early with the new ball. Hasan Ali and Junaid Khan can be destructive on their day, and it won’t be good for England if they allow these two to get into their rhythm.
